Washington So Far
*Whew* taking a break on xanga before I head back into my mountain of paperwork. So what’s been going on so far now that I’ve been here for a whole 5 days!!
- My family found Seattle really boring. We finished our tour in 1 1/2 days. My given task is to find treasures here to do in Seattle so the next time they visit, I can take them! Oysters and king crab galore anywhere in the great Northwest? I’ve been sooooo surprised and deeply touched by my brother & his wife’s support of my move out here. I knew they had a rocky start with my now-fiance 3 years ago.. But now they are driving my car up for me, spending half a week in Seattle getting to know the place, helping me with taking care of my mom who is back in CA, and keeping constant contact with me to make sure I am okay. I wanted to cry when my brother tagged me on a FB post that simply said, “A new chapter…” while checking into Sea-Ta airport. Counting my blessings!! And hoping my other half of the family comes around (har har)- My mom hit her eye on the soap dish that was sticking out in the hotel bath tub. And now half her face, especially her eye, is covered in a dark black bruise. It’s getting worst and worst every day. I get so sad every time we skype because the bruise is so bad!!
- There is sooooo much effin’ paper work for me to do to transfer all my licensings and business to Washington! AHHHHHHHHHH!! I am never moving again!- I start a new position at a dentist office tomorrow morning!! I will first train to become a dental assistant, then I will work both front desk and in the back for the next year until I can apply for dental hygiene school. EXCITING!! Hopefully I can wake up on time everyday. Har har. Won is starting a new job at Amazon on Monday so I hope we can commute together everyday, since its over an hour away from home.- My books for weddings back in CA are firming up nicely so that I’m expected back in my Cali home about twice a month. You Californians feel free to take me to Boiling Crab while I’m there okay
- All the wedding planning is coming along nicely. Initially a few vendors refused to do our weddings because we did not fit into their requirement (effin’ Paebaek company!) but Won is superman because he talked them into doing our wedding anyway! Yay! Even though we have to pay extra for them to accommodate us. But I am sooooo happy!- For the first time I am taking money seriously. Before, I just made money, saved some, and spent some. It wasn’t ever really a worry because I never made a lot nor spent a lot. Just always enough so that I was really happy with what I had and wanted. But now that we are looking at a wedding, a new condo, a new business, a new family it’s so different. Won is teaching me how to make, save, budget, and spend. I’ve never budgeted before -___-- I spent the last two day converting Won’s office into a walk in closet. It’s beautiful!!
That is all I can think of. Here is a picture of Pinky, who follows my every single step. I can move over literally by 3 inches, and she’ll get up and follow me. I can hardly walk cuz she’s following my foot steps! And she always begging to sit on my lap or at least touching me somehow. She’s tooo cute to refuse. Can’t get anything done! Gah!!

Congrats girl. Love it when life evolves!
Woah, you moved to Seattle? Big step, girl!
I did that for a girl once….yeah, let’s not go there again. hahaha.
I cringe a little when I hear ‘seattle’. I have a stalker from there.
I once jokingly thought it would be interesting to have a stalker, but no more joking. It’s annoying!
Curious, what about your wedding that doesn’t originally ‘qualify?’
@c_est_la_vie_mon_amie - I know, I remember you mentioned it briefly once. Lol is your stalker from xanga?! Who is it?
The Paebaek company we went with is EXTREMELY conservative. They didn’t want to do the ceremony as entertainment, which was exactly what we wanted.. to entertain our dinner guests. They only wanted to do the ceremony is private with the family. So we had to convince them to do it during dinner, on stage, in front of 250 guests. Lol. Plus we asked them to shorten the 2 hour ceremony down to like 20 minutes. They are very traditional and have a lot of meaning behind the ceremony, whereas for us we just wanted the fancy clothes and big fan fare.
