I Moved!

...and not to Canada, silly. 

Nope I now live in Seattle proper!  Or I will by tonight.  

Today is moving day!

For the last year I've been in the burbs living with a family member and enjoying cheap rent.

But there is a time when one needs ones own space and one must also stand on one's own feet entirely.

I'm one.

Actually I'm 26.  

But you get the idea.

Pictures to follow soon of the mayhem that is my wee apartment and my challenge to truly live that minimalist lifestyle I find so wildly attractive!  

Ok enough of this sitting in Starbucks, I have to go pay for my rental insurance and pick up my keys and start creating...

MY OWN HOME!

...basically the hipster's dream...

Aaaaand after a long journey back to Oregon to see family (and lots of pit stops for mountain biking and general outdoor shenanigans) I'm on my new adventure.

"Abigail, please tell us your new adventure! We're waiting with bated breathe!"

Aw guys you make me blush

And guess where I just re-located to!  

If you don't recognize the structure in the photo...I can only assume you've lived under a rock far away from the Pacific Northwest.

SO here I am!  Hopefully starting my coffee shop job soon to get me through the winter.  

I know...

Coffee shop job...

In Seattle...

How much flannel do you own, Abigail?

And just so you guys are aware...the glasses are prescription. No fakes.

So bam.

I'm in the land of Grey's Anatomy.

Of the gum wall (ew)

Pike's Market

The land of eternal rain except when the sun shines and then confusions runs through the streets like the bulls in Madrid. Not exaggerating. It's fo realz. 

It's a new chapter in adulting.

Sometimes I get scared and overwhelmed by all those nitty gritty things like changing insurance to Washington state...

or the fears of how this small town girl is going to manage in the big city...

what if I hate it?

or worse...

What if I really like it?

I don't know...there are a lot of unknowns in life and we can't hold still until everything is set and organized.  Otherwise we won't live.  

There you have it.   My little update is complete as I snoop around this new place...definitely not holding still!
