Catch Up

It has been forever since I lasted posted and a lot has happened!

Notice the cruise ship in the water? We see cruise ships all the time. It really makes me want to take a cruise!!

We have been trying to find a church that is the right fit for us. We have gone to four churches over the last four weeks. Trying a variety of churches has been an enlightening experience. Ultimately, Christians are Christians, but worship practices and beliefs can vary greatly. As all people have their own private ideas it is important to find a church that fits well with each individual. We have found two churches that are comfortable, but I think we will continue looking before we make a final decision.

I have been working at Starbucks for about 3 weeks now. Training was a tedious process!! Because I work at a Starbucks inside a Safeway, I am actually a Safeway employee. I had three days of computer training for Safeway; three days of "always use good customer service skills." It was much better to actually be behind the counter to learn the on the job. However, my first day behind the counter was spent reading training manuals and watching.... :( Now that I am actually working it is much more fun. It has been interesting to learn many drinks that Starbucks makes.

I have had little luck on the teaching job front. I have applied to many districts within an hour radius and have not heard anything back. So hopefully, I will be able to sub and continue working at Starbucks.

Summer in Seattle is filled with activities! It seems like there is always something to do (although, we have not experienced nearly all of them). There are several farmers markets in the area that include music and entertainment. I would like to go to one at some point. Tonight there is a free performance of Othello at Seattle Center. We are excited to see it! It is an outdoor performance so hopefully it doesn't get too cold!
