i know you have all been just dying to hear how i feel about washington. and, simply, i love it. i live in a great house that overlooks the puget sound.... there is a light house about two miles away. i like to run there.

| this is the view from my back porch... see the lighthouse?? |
speaking of running here.. there are far too many hills. i was super bored my first two weeks here so i went on hour long runs every day.. (REALLY stupid idea... now i have a bulged disc in my sacrum) but i learned the roads really fast. there is beach pretty much surrounding me, so i ran to the beach a few times.. got my feet wet in the butt-cold water... oh, and there is a state park one mile away.. complete with trails to run on.. i am in runner's heaven (once i get better acquainted with the hills and my disc heals.) but, i have already had some great adventures and it has only been a few weeks! good times!

i also must mention the great people here. the dunn's.. my surrogate parents.. are amazing. they are always up for a great conversation and have awesome stories.. garry used to work for united airlines and they also served in new zealand as mission presidents. they are just full of great stories, and their home is full of cool stuff form all the places they have been. the davidson's have been so welcoming.. i am lucky to have two surrogate families! and i made a new friend! her name is danielle! so, i am really happy with people here. it is nice to have supportive people. now i just need to figure out how to pay back their kindness...
now all that is left is to find a job and make more friends and have more adventures. i will keep you all posted on the new things! but, i am super happy! i hope you all are happy too! oh, and side note.. there are forget-me-not flowers everywhere here.. it reminds me of president uchtdorf's talk from last october in the RS broadcast. it has been on mind as i am trying to figure out my life now and prepare for my future. if you haven't listened to it in a while, i highly recommend it...
