A couple months in our NEW HOME!

Lor, Vader, Bentley and I are settling into our new home! It's been about a month and we've made it as much of a home as we can. We've been making friends along the way too. Which is a huge bonus for the both of us. Though I'll say a few of them are from my new job.
Most of it though is just getting into a routine for me. I work really well with a schedule. However, I also like being left to my own devices. Thus, Lor and I began our mini misadventures in Washington.

Our first weekend we went across the sound to a town called Port Townsend. There we traveled south to Poulsbo/Bainbridge Island and had amazing doughnuts at Slys Bakery. We also visited Hot Shots Cafe, and a dog shop in the old town. Then we traveled across the sound into Seattle. We had lunch/dinner at the Pot Belly. Then we took a stroll through Pikes Market.

This is an adventure of its own. However has also become a main staple to our weekends. We found a 4 Aker fenced in park which Lord Vader can run freely in. Which has become a small blessing in the long run of being able to let our dog run around. We found out really fast he loves to play with the big dogs. Not saying he doesn't do well on the other spectrum. It's just come to my observation Lord Vader loves to play with the shepherds, Danes, etc. Its been really fun to just go to the park and spend nearly half the day. Vader gets tuckered out. Then Lor and I are nearly exhausted. We've come to love the dog park adventures. 

On the flip side, while working at my new job I've created new bridges with people. The first is Julian. He's helped me transition from working from the program I used to work with. Like, to explain, it's all the same program. But it's different because the VED's are different. There's two programs to launch instead of just the one I'm use to. It's been a bitter pill to take. Or, it's been a constant eating of humble pie when this program I use for my job starts to kick my ass. I'll say for about two months it's been really hard to work and problem solve. Then I sit back and go, "Holly cow. That was tough!" I'm very blessed to have Julian help me out. Aside from work, he invited Lor and I to an Easter dinner.
It was really interesting because Lor and I don't usually celebrate. We don't have kids. Thus, we don't make coloured eggs. We're ovo-lacto-pesca-terrain. However, we made amazing deviled eggs. Julian and his beautiful wife, and three kiddo's were a blessing to celebrate Easter with. We had lots of fun hunting for eggs. Lord Vader and Julian's Great Dane, Chloe had lots of fun.
