We've now been here in our new place for three weeks today, and we've been enjoying it much more than we expected. For those of you we haven't been good about updating about our situation here, I'll give you a little rundown...
My massage license went through just a few days after we got here, so we had just enough time to pull the household into some semblance of order before I started work on August 11th. Adjusting to my new commute time wasn't difficult in the least - it literally took me two minutes to get from our front door to the front door of the Massage Envy across the street (Some days it takes me a few minutes longer than that if the elevator or traffic light make me wait).
My boss told me to expect to be booked only about 50% for the first two weeks, but it's been more like 80-90%, and I just finished my second week. They keep me very busy and I love working there. I'm scheduled from 2-10pm Tuesday-Friday and 12-8pm on Saturdays. This schedule is about as different from our Utah schedule as we could get (the whole getting up at 4:30 in the morning thing REALLY wasn't my cup of tea, let me tell you!), but it's working well for us. Tom and I both are getting better sleep than we have in years!
Mid-day during the week we can be found at the gym downstairs enjoying the facilities and getting out our wiggles. They have really nice equipment as well as a hearty supply of freshly laundered towels and cold, filtered water. I've only accidentally stolen a towel once... but I took it back the next day. It really does feel like we live at a hotel! The pool should be finished any day now - just in time for it to close for the season, if we were still in Utah.
It's strange to be virtually living at the mall. We've walked around the shops here taking care of business and just checking things out, and it's certainly a different experience. There are always people around to observe and interesting things to see. We walked over to Lake Washington for the first time this past Monday as a day off treat. We kicked ourselves after we realized we had forgotten to bring the camera. It was a really nice day, and we felt grateful to be living here in such a beautiful place.
We got our new cell phone numbers this past week. If you would like those numbers or our new mailing address, just email me at amysgunn@gmail.com and I'd be happy to give them to you.
