Back in Washington….Spring/Summer 2013


We landed in Seattle, surprised our families, and moved in with Bryan’s parents for a couple months in Bellingham until we landed on our feet again. It was nice having a home again, and we were so grateful Bryan’s parents took us in during that time. A couple months later Bryan landed a contract in Seattle, so we moved to Kirkland. Here are some pics to sum up Spring and Summer…Warning, pic overload!
