I can not believe that I will have been living in Seattle for 10 weeks come tomorrow! How crazy is that!?!

Over this past weekend I went over to Idaho to visit one of my older brothers, his awesome wife Julie and their adorable little girl. It was so weird cause while I was there I realized that now when I talk about "back home" I mean Seattle. At the same time I also feel like Eugene is my home. It's strange feeling like you have two homes. 

Anyways...Below are some random pictures from the last few weeks.

I have SO many pictures of Zeke and almost none of Gideon. I'm not sure why...maybe because Gideon always refuses to let me take pictures of him and it's hard to sneak any around him ;)

Exhausted from trick or treating. 

It's hard to get a good picture of all three of us. One of the boys always decides to be difficult and not look at the camera. This is Zeke pretending to be watching something riveting in the distance. 

Julie drove down for a couple days and then I drove with her back to Idaho. We had lots of fun just hanging  out in Seattle. The last morning she was here we walked down to the nearest Starbucks with the kids for fun. I took this picture and a minute later Zeke fell off his chair and hit his head on the edge of my chair and cut his cheek open and proceeded to bleed all over my shirt while we waited for his dad to come pick him up. He was such a trooper. Barely cried and was laughing within a couple of minutes. I got several weird looks for holding a happy baby with blood dripping down his chin while wearing a semi bloody shirt. So he currently has a cut on his cheek plus a black eye plus a cut on his forehead and he also fell down last week and bit the inside of his cheek really hard so yeah, he is one busy toddler.

My adorable niece. She is seriously the happiest baby ever. I love how whenever she smilies it's the biggest one you have ever seen.

                                                    The drive to Idaho was so beautiful.

Seattle is beautiful too when it decides to have some random sunshine between the rainy gray weather we have been having. You can see Zeke trying to get me to hurry up and take the picture so he can go play. 

I love these two boys! Attacking each other with kisses. Or rather Big brother crushing Little Brother and Little Brother screaming at Big Brother to leave him alone.
I think I like calling it a kiss attack better.

They do tend to leave their toys on my floor and try on all my jewelry and then leave it on the floor.

 And then they make faces at you in the car and all is forgotten, for now.

The Space Needle.

So happy! I finally got to go to the top of the Space Needle last weekend! I've always wanted to and while for some reason the whole time I was at the top I kept wondering why I had thought it would seem a lot higher off the ground than it did, I still really enjoyed it.

I took a picture of myself with (most of) the Space Needle in the background just like everyone else was doing, apparently that's the thing to do there.

This picture is one of the pictures I took while up in the Needle. It was gray and foggy that day.

Anddddd another picture from the Needle.

After we came back to the ground we went walking towards what we thought was the big fountain that my sister-in-law, Elisabeth had told us about since the two little boys (Gideon and Zeke) had liked playing in it last time they had come to the Space Needle. We never found the fountain, where Elisabeth had thought it was there now stood a football stadium...but we did find an awesome maze that we then decided to run. Elisabeth made it all the way, I did not. I had to stop halfway through to cough for 5 minutes (not joking) thus this picture. Elisabeth, exhausted. Autumn, smiling for the camera.

Dishes in the bathtub

Due to water leaking from the kitchen sink and dishwasher I moved the dishes over to the bathroom and learned how to wash dishes in the bathtub.  Not something I ever thought I would ever end up doing.

Got my room almost all set up. First thing I unpacked was my nail polish which I placed on the window still just like my old room. I'm going to pretend that I don't have an absurd amount of nail polish...I also got my desk all set up, which is awesome since I've never had one before and was looking forward to having a desk all to myself to put random stuff on.

I'm going to post a picture of my room once I have it all figured out and there is no one in it talking or playing with me which is rarer then you would think. Which is a good thing, can you imagine how lonely it would be if no one was in your room ever!?! 

Well...that's all I can think of to post right now. I'm sure I'll be back soon with lots more pictures! :)

Moving

Today I went out to the garage where I have most of my stuff packed and got rid of another bag of clothes. This is not the first time I've done this in the last month and I'm sure I'll go through all my stuff one last time tomorrow before I leave. When I first started packing I thought I was good and only had a smallish amount of clothes...surprise surprise, I had/have a ton.
My goal is to be able to pack all my clothes and stuff into the back of our Subaru Forster so that both my parents, a friend and I can all fit and I think I can now after getting rid of lots of stuff. Mostly shoes. It's hard when you have 50 pairs of shoes. But I'm so glad I'm getting rid of all of my extra clothes and stuff. It really needed to be done. While going through the 100th dress and taking 5 minutes to decide if I really needed it I came to that conclusion.
I can't believe that I'm moving to Seattle on Friday. I've been thinking about this move since the beginning of this year. It's so unreal that the time has finally come! I'm sad to leave all my friends and family but I can't wait for this adventure to begin!
I'll try my best to keep this blog updated and with lots of pictures of my adventures in Seattle while watching my two adorable nephews!
