Rachel Moves in Today

Today is a pretty big day for me. I've been going out with Rachel Henderson for over a year and a half (been engaged for more than a year) and today she's arriving in Washington via train (Amtrak). She started her journey in Wisconsin and it has taken her a little under 48 hours to get to Washington. She's had a great trip so far but it's been tiring for her. She's traveled through North Dakota, seen a bit of Glacier National Park, and had a Washington Park Ranger act like a tour guide on the train and explain the scenery and history while she travels through our great state.

Before she got here I made sure to clean up our new place, I also took some pictures so for those of you who haven't visited (I'm looking at you mom) so you can see what the place looks like, cleaned and furnished.

Now that Rachel is on her final leg of the trip, I'm getting more and more nervous and excited. Not that I'm scared, in fact I'm very confident about our future together, I'm nervous because I don't want to be accidentally late! It's going to be an exciting year for us as we live our life together. I expect that we'll step on each other's toes and we'll get into tiffs from time to time but what makes our relationship special to me is our ability to communicate and work out issues rationally.

I'm excited for Rachel's new life in Seattle!
