Heidi takes on the world!
It seems to be harder to post these days. So here is a quick update. Ryan is still working in Seattle. The girls and I are still going strong here in p-town. We have our routine with school, homework, piano lessons, sleep, etc. I am going to get my taxes done tomorrow so I predict better sleep after that. Life is kind of plugging along and I am just trying to keep up. I like to think I am doing pretty good.
The Hills has to be the stupidest show I have ever seen. Technically I haven’t even been able to last a full episode. I can’t believe that these people have a television show. It is soooo bad that I had to make sure that I was alone because I felt embarrassed that I was even watching it. Oh man, it’s terrible! No wonder other countries hate America, if they think that The Hills is an accurate depiction of what our country is about.

The girls and I went back up to Seattle with Ryan last Sunday night. We stayed until Wednesday afternoon. We were able to walk around the city and do some fun stuff. We went down to the pier and found the Seattle Aquarium. A hefty fee to enter, but what the hell, it’s all in the name of childhood memories. 
They had a really good time and after the aquarium we went up to the market and got coffee and cocoa @ the original Pike St. Starbucks. That was fun for me but that’s only because I am cheesy and like that kind of crap.
So there are no Redboxes in Seattle. The closest one is on Mercer Island. We went ahead and drove there to get a few movies and will just take them home and return them there. For those of you who do not know about Redbox, it’s a brilliant invention that lets you rent a movie for $1.00 per night (in Washington it’s $1.09 with tax) and you can return the dvd to any other redbox location, no matter where you got it. It works out very well for the kids while traveling. It is pretty neat. You can also go online and check which movies are available at any specific location near you and reserve it so that you can be sure that the movie you want will be there.
If you want to search homes in the Portland Metro area, use this sight.
It is really cool. You will need to sign in but I won’t bug you unless you want me to.
