Hello everyone! 😁
Sorry I have been MIA for about a month, but as many or none of you know, I have been busy making grown woman decisions. I had decided to take a job in Seattle Washington and had been in process of moving myself up here. It has been hectic, stressful, and oh so ever blessed! But I am here, and I'm SUPER excited to get this new journey started.
It has been about 9 days since I arrived. Talk about a total change of weather and atmosphere! I went from Sunny San Diego, to Rainy Seattle and I absolutely love it! I haven't taken much time to explore just of yet, for I have been busy organizing my new place and I have finished the final touches this past weekend. That is until I get more of my things shipped from home. LOL 😅
The little that I have been able to explore so far has been my neighborhood in Ballard and we took a look at the Fremont Troll. I took a run the other day to the beach which is literally 10 minutes away from my new place! I love it! I love the ocean and I love the fact that it's so close by. I have yet to go sit out there and watch the sun set but it definitely is on my to-do list.
The Seattle scenery that I have been lucky to see almost on the daily so far is absolutely breath taking! When the skies are clear you can see the snow capped mountains in the distance as well as the lining of tree canopies. It's absolutely beautiful! May be a little chilly than I'm accustomed to but I think I'm adjusting well.
The weather has been rainy thus far but it's what you are to expect. However this past weekend, Sunday to be exact, there was no rain at all. For the exception into the evening hours. Luckily I love the rain so it doesn't bother me. It's pretty sporadic at times too, when it rains it doesn't always rain all day, sometimes it comes in hourly incriminates. Therefore you have to be prepared for the sudden weather change!
My mother, the beautiful wonder woman that she is, helped me out on my move to Seattle. From San Diego, CA, through Oregon and straight into Washington. She spoiled me by helping me settle in and get the necessities I would need for my new home. I truly enjoyed our bonding over the 20+ hour journey to Seattle and I wouldn't have had it any other way. ❤️
I was sad to see her go and I cried like a little baby when I took her to the airport. But I mean, c'mon, that's my mama, and I have never lived in another state and have her be so far away before. I seriously have no words on how amazing my mama is and I don't think I will ever find the words to truly describe her! But they are growing pains and I know this is what I had to do for myself to be able to grow independently and start anew.
That being said, it doesn't even feel like I've been here a little over a week but it is starting to feel like home. It was a big leap I took, and I am lucky and blessed enough to have a friend to share this experience with and this new job opportunity. I am excited to see what this new life entails and you will definitely be hearing the details!
Natalie has flown the coupe and is ready to grow even more! 🤗
