Transitions

There are so many transitions that we face throughout our life. Starting out at a new school, getting married, having a baby, leaving college for "the real world"...the list goes on and on. I was able to help my sister and her husband make a major transition today. They moved into their first home! We packed up the moving van and our cars (a couple of times) and moved everything into their beautiful new home. As I write they are probably going through box #20 of kitchen dishes. This transition in their life got me thinking about all of the transitions I have been facing lately in my own life. For one, I recently started a new job working at a law firm in Bellevue. Even though I picked up a lot of legal terminology from my husband as he went through law school, I still come home most days with a list of terms I need to learn. Unfortunately, I have recently had to face the brevity of life with the passing of my husband's grandpa. He was a great man that I only wish I had known more. I found that as I sat with Adam's family I learned more and more about his grandpa with every story that was told. In his passing we were brought together and were able to remember just how precious life is and what it means to leave a legacy behind. Another transition I have faced lately is moving back out to the Seattle area. Although we have been out here for awhile now, we are still loving the fact that we're back in town and close to family, friends, nature and of course our beloved coffee shops. I have also made the transition to blogger. I decided that I wanted to have a place that I could share my thoughts, experiences, unique finds and ideas. This will be the place that I can share all of that with whoever may stumble across my site. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration here.
