Here we go again

I'm a super inconsistent blogger...and I'm okay with that.  A lot has happened in our lives since my last post.  In fact, I'm not even sure what my last post was.  I didn't look.  I vaguely recall it being an update because I hadn't posted in awhile.  Sounds kinda familiar :)

Okay, so here's what's up, the short version.  Jacob graduated from the University of Washington School of Law WITH HONORS!!  I'm so completely super proud of him...can you tell? ;)

Tirzah is 3!!  Um, wow!!  How did that happen?  We had a great family camping trip to Seiku to celebrate Jacob's graduation, my birthday, and Tirzah's birthday.  It was super fun, I caught my first salmon, and we are looking forward to another trip next year.  Even my parents came!! :)

The biggest change?  We moved to Eastern WA almost 2 weeks ago.  Jacob was offered and accepted a position with a law firm here.  We are super excited for the opportunity but I'll admit that it has been a challenge.  Jacob has been busy and really enjoying his job.  I'm excited for that.  Tirzah and I have been trying really hard to find the fun everyday while working on unpacking and transitioning to apartment life (not easy...we miss our yard, and so do our animals) and I have not always had a ton of patience.  It was kind of bad timing to move since most of the things we could get involved in (like MOPS, preschool, whatever) starts around the time that school starts.  So we moved in the middle of August and have been sitting around waiting for things to start...waiting, and waiting, and trying to find some fun and make some friends...but mostly waiting :)  It is trying my patience (which I usually have an extraordinary amount of) so I can only imagine how my energetic three year old is feeling.

A few days after we moved my beautiful baby girl picks up a dandelion, makes a wish, and blows.  "I wish for more friends".  Talk about breaking a Mama's heart!!  I'm working on it, and praying about it.  God has been faithful and I am hopeful.  Things are looking up.  We had lunch with a delightful woman who lives here (but is moving to Texas in November, leave it to me to make a friend who's leaving) in town.  She has three children and knows lots of other mommies in the area so hopefully we'll make some more friends pretty soon. 

In any case, here we are, with another new beginning.  I guess the title still fits.  Hopefully I won't wait so long before I post again.  :)
