So, through praying and talking and reading about this, Stu and I are very seriously considering moving to Seattle, Washington at some point next year.
I'm not saying we WILL, but it is looking more and more like that might be the case.
I am so very excited!
I will really, really miss everybody in South Carolina, which will be the hardest thing for me besides having to say goodbye to our wonderful church, but we do know 2 couples who are moving to Seattle this year as well as the church plant we'd like to be involved with, so we won't be completely alone.
Things I am excited about:
1. A SUPER LONG ROAD TRIP ACROSS THE U.S.! I cannot express how excited this makes me.
2. SEATTLE!!! I love the West Coast.
3. Living with friends (who want to get chickens!)!!!!
4. Theatres!
5. Ministering in the LGBT community!!!
6. WONDERFUL WEATHER! (High summer temp. of SEVENTY-FIVE)
7. The OCEAN! (Puget Sound, baby)
8. Being close to British Columbia (T.V. jobs?!)!!!
9. Possibly being able to go to Con-Con next year!! (LEVERAGE!!!)
10.FRESH SEAFOOD!
11. Being closer to EDWIN AND ELANOR LIN!!!
Ok, ok, enough excitement for one day. I have a ton of writing to get done (I set myself a goal of: 1 post about my Star Trek RPG character, 1 chapter of My Life As A Rockstar, and 2 chapters of Violet's Monster: Volume I. I'm hoping that by setting a high goal for myself, I'll actually get ONE of them done. Or maybe two. :P)
Anyway...please, please, please pray about Seattle for us, as well as jobs and a new vehicle...we are looking into getting a station wagon (finally, a vehicle for the harp!).
Stay Tuned.
This makes me selfishly sad, but it sounds like an incredible place to live (aside from the perks you listed, the climate sounds like it was meant for actual humans.) Follow your dreams. *sniff sniff*
