I'm not Dead, I promise!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while ... over a month!  eek!

Anyway, I thought I would post another life update (side note: I just saw a guy walk past with a Siamese cat perched on his shoulder.  So funny.  I love the odd things you see in big cities).

Ok, so I'm in Seattle.  Currently I'm at a coffee shop looking up how to become an official resident of Washington.  It's great.

So, I'll tell you a little bit about my apartment.  It is just a hop skip and a jump away from downtown Seattle.  I walked from my apartment to Broadway, which has a lot of little shops and coffee houses on it.  Right now I'm at a Tully's at Broadway and Pike (if you wanted to google map it).  From my front window I have a spectacular view of Lake Union, the Aurora Bridge, and the Queen Anne, Fremont and Wallingford neighborhoods.  I'll post pictures soon. 

So, yesterday I hung out with my friend Jacob (also known as "cup").  We went to lunch with a missionary friend of his parents.  Bandou is from Sri Lanka and is traveling the US and Canada telling churches of his work in Sri Lanka and India.  After lunch we went to Cup's house, which is on Anderson Island (the southernmost island in the Puget sound), we went kayaking in a little bay on the island, and I got to meet the majority of his family (to Justin, Natalie and Theresa ... I've met all the Kobernicks except 1 now hahahaha).  Then Cup's mom sent me home with a bag full of fresh veggies from the garden.  It was great!!

Anyway - my coffee is gone and I'm getting hungry, so I think I'll start the walk home to make some lunch.
