Ruby Red Slippers

 Well i guess major happenings have happened since I last posted.  I am no longer in dry, cold, semi-lovely Ogden, UT.  I now have 10 days living in gorgeous, wet, and stunning Kent, WA as I began my new professional endeavors in Seattle.  I interviewed on August 30th for this job as  a Spanish Benefits Advisor for the Department of Labor. I was set to report to my new assignment at Hill on Sept 9th, so i was hoping they would notify me quickly - in fact I was so 'gettin gthis job' that i started packing the weekend after the initial interview. Thank goodness I did since barely a month later, I was packing up my first home and moving me and Max to Western Washington. Which we are loving. I ride the train into work everyday, have a great brisk walk up to my office and even getting a few nice rainy days.  Now fitting my 4 bed house into a 2 bedroom apt....lets say Irene (Ileen to the lay person) basically made it doable. I would have been living in boxes for 3 years until I could get a house. Thanks Mom!
