No Yellow Brick Road Needed

I find it interesting that my family back in Illinois had tornados today, yet I'm the one that ended up in the Emerald City.

Ever since I was a little girl watching the Wizard of Oz for the first time, I've wanted to go to the Emerald City. Well, now I'm here.

My family had a wonderful goodbye party for Keith and I. I'll be posting pictures in the coming days. It was an emotional evening, but it was so good to see everyone and so wonderful to know of all the support that we have. It truly is a blessing.

So, driving around today, it was sunny (yes I'm telling the truth) and Mt. Rainier was gorgeous!!!!! I've been to Seattle a few times, but seeing the mountain never fails to be breathtaking. It's so imposing and beautiful at the same time.

Our temporary apartment is really nice, and we have a beautiful view of the Cascades (I think) from the Living Room and balcony.

Our dogs just landed at Sea-tac, so we are anxiously awaiting their arrival here!
I miss everyone!!!
