UPDATE

Two weeks from now...we'll be signing papers on our "new" home!!! For those of you who don't know, this has been a LONG haul. It will be 13 months since we have had a place of our own! I never thought I could make it through this. AND yes, I have learned a lot along the way. This has definitely changed me. The boys are so excited. They just wanna get started on their new fort. The home sits on 5 acres, so they'll have plenty of forest to explore, too. Tom is excited because there is already a huge barn\shop. It has a full loft, which will be great for storage. Plus, I will finally get the big craft room that I have always wanted. MMMM...dreamy:) The house needs a ton of work and updating, but I don't mind one bit. Actually I can't wait to paint and redo the kitchen and bathrooms:) I have plans, baby:) I'll post some "before" pictures as soon as we get the keys.

Tacoma Narrows

We planned to spend the day at the zoo a few weeks ago, but there was not a single parking spot to be found! So, we decided to take a hike across the new Tacoma Narrows bridge. It was a gorgeous day!! So perfect. We could see the Olympics and the Cascades covered with snow. The view was spectacular. We had to start from pretty far away, so it took a while to just get to the bridge. It was way far up...up with the sky and the wind and all...(quote from BOB:)) I was glad we did that. We are really trying to take more time to just get out and enjoy where we live. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place.











Then, we found this lil' hole in the wall deli in downtown Gig Harbor that had the most delicious parmasean crusted scallops!!! NUMMY
This was the view
