We are officially residents of East Wenatchee! We arrived in town on Tuesday evening, and have been busy since then unpacking boxes and getting things put away and settled. As much as I want to post pictures right now, all of the flooring in the house will be getting replaced in the next week and a half, so I’m waiting to post photos until that’s all done and all of our furniture is where we want it to go. Lots of stuff is still in boxes because it doesn’t make sense to unpack it just to have to move it again in a week. Currently, the flooring is less than photogenic. Other than that, so far, we are very very happy here. The dogs are absolutely loving their new private backyard dog park, and we even have their friend Finn staying with us for the weekend!

Wednesday evening we spent some time with our friends in town and a couple of their friends. We all went to Sweetwood BBQ (so delicious), and then went down the road to Wenatchee Valley Brewing and had some brews around the firepit. It was a very enjoyable evening and the perfect way to end our first full day in Wenatchee!

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Pybus Market going around to all of the little shops, mead tasting, and eating gelato. Then we went to nearly every furniture store in town looking for a TV stand for living room. Thankfully, we found the perfect one at our last stop!

Later today we’re going to Rails & Ales downtown. They close down an entire street, bring in a ton of snow from Mission Ridge, and have snowboarders doing tricks on the streets! Of course there’s a beer tent as well and that may or may not be one of our big reasons for going.

Tomorrow, I’ll be riding to Seattle with my parents to bring them for their flight early Sunday morning. We’re going to do some typical Seattle touristy things before I drop them off at their hotel and say our goodbyes. It’s going to be strange here without them, but I’m so thankful for the time we did get with them here, and we’re both beyond appreciative for all of their help. We truly could not have made the move out here right now without them.

Next week will be a busy week. Car shopping for me, pre-employment employee health appointment on Monday, Kevin starts work on Thursday, and then the flooring people will be here to put in the new vinyl in the living spaces on Thursday and Friday.

We are so happy to finally be here and starting our new life, and can’t wait to show everyone our new home in the coming weeks.
