Wow, its been a while!

Here are a couple of pics of our rather unremarkable Shoreline, WA apartment:

Man, time flies. February was our last post...here it is already October! Well, since our last post we have moved to Seattle. I work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (doing what I did before we left on the trip) and Brent has been teaching at Edmonds Community College, Cascadia Community College and Shoreline Community College. He has been able to focus solely on teaching, which has been nice.

Seattle weather has been challenging, we often remember the glory of Thailand and its beaches, but with airfares as high as they have been, and this doomsday financial crisis, we have kept our heads together and not flown away....though it seems some days it takes every ounce of my energy not to.

We are living a very "typical" life here, dare I say, boring? I thought it would take longer for me to itch for more travels, but I would have left 3 months ago, had I had the opportunity. I have the adventure bug again, and I wonder how it will play out.

We'll keep you posted.;-)

Finding Jobs

Well, We've had quite a time hiding out looking for jobs! Brent's brother owns a home near Idleyld Park, OR about 30 minutes from Roseburg, OR. It was a perfect place to hang out and try to get jobs. We stayed there for almost two months (Jan-Feb).

The fruits of Brent's labor paid off. He managed to get a teaching job and a part time laser gig! In April Brent will start teaching Physics at Edmonds Community College, north of Seattle. We have recently relocated to Seattle, found a place to rent, and are reconstructing our lives here in Seattle. Its wierd to be back, but really good.
