Yesterday marked our two-year anniversary in Olympia. I can't believe it. I can still remember the anticipation we had as we ended our cross-country trip from Maryland and arrived at the yucky Extended Stay America!
Lots has happened since, we've even had another baby, yet time is flying. If we follow our usual path, it will only be another year before D gets the call that it's time to pack up and leave to another office. I'm not ready for that yet. I love it here. There isn't a good mall or great restaurants, but it's a small price to pay for what there is: nice people, nice views, nice friends and that oh-so-nice Seattle-cost-of-living adjustment that we get even though we have the good fortune of being about 50 miles away from King County.
The fact that I haven't been able to work here has been a constant source of frustration; among other things. However, if I'm going to be a stay-at-home Mom, Oly is the place to be. They say there's a proverbial lesson to be learned by everything we're faced with...I hope to learn that lesson, whatever it may be, and be ready to move on when the time comes.
Until then, what do you say we just enjoy Olympia !
