hello from washington!

this is our first official post from our new home, washington. we've been here for almost 3 weeks now and we've finally managed to get everything out of boxes. we kept a lot of things we don't need in storage so that we can open it once we get a house. it's been a huge adjustment. our goodbyes in la were very difficult...a lot of heartache and tears...but i know some bonds can never be broken.

our first week here was ok, it didn't feel like we actually moved here. i think during the second week, the fact that we're here for good really hit me hard. i am trying hard to adjust to not just the new place, but also the new role as a stay at home mom. last week was a difficult week. this week is a bit easier, but still so homesick. i miss the people more than anything else.
jun started his job at church. he seems to enjoy it so far, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done. i'll never forget how it was snowing a little bit on my first sunday to church.

these few days have been beautiful...the sun is out and the temperature is nice :) washington is a beautiful place. i can't wait to "explore" this place, however, you know what people say...there's no place like home...but i will try to make this place home. in time, i hope it will happen.

we've already had a few familiar faces come by to visit and it is soooo nice. it's a wonderful feeling because they really bring a piece of home to us. i hope more people will come by :)

here are some pictures from la and washington...i will try to take more pics of washington to update.

david lin's visit. i was so happy that we found a tiny taiwanese food place and a place for taiwanese teas! it's still interesting to me that we need to go to chinatown to get stuff like this, whereas in la, it's literally everywhere!
