Time to Share

Hello! I thought I was getting better about updating but I think a couple times a month is the best I can do! I really admire those who can update blogs, journals, diaries everyday...its amazing!

I have some fun things to share!
One: the Washington Deurs (for some reason its fun to give yourself a label) have been in the Pacific Northwest for 4 years! Yep! Brandon hit 4 years on the 6th and I was on the 8th. Crazy to think we have lived out here for this long already...quick recap: moved in November 2007, lived in Renton, found new jobs, still lived in Renton (why did we live there for so long?), i found another new job, finally moved to Eastlake apt #1 after 2 years in renton, discussed how awesome living IN Seattle is, moved to Eastlake apt #2....

Two: I have another new job...makes me sound a bit fickle...but anyways... I am still working at the Firm (I am calling my place of employment the firm due to the fact if I mention their name online it causes compliance issues and whatnot). So yeah, I am working at the firm three days a week and am working at church as the youth ministries coordinator. In august I took over the position as the interim person and applied for the position :) I was just officially hired last week! Woot woot! Its been a great change of pace and I love working with the JH and HS. They are a breath of fresh air and just plain good fun!

Three: Brandon is cooking his first turkey today! For the HS...we are having a HSYG Thanksgiving feast :) Hoping the turkey is good....

Four: We are going to Michigan/Illinois after Christmas!! So excited already!!! :)
