Dale has had several interviews, offered countless jobs, and actually had to decide which job to accept. In a floundering economy, people still seem to be eating and drinking and needing excellent servers. Dale has gone back to working a few nights a week at Tango Restaurant....our former romping ground. He also accepted a job working at the Local Vine, a snazzy wine bar formally of Belltown but relocating to Capitol Hill. The decision was tough and every job offered something different...it was like deciding between a Mercedes and a BMW. We are very proud of him!
I have very much enjoyed being back. We were so eager to leave Seattle almost 2 years ago but it has been very apparent to us that we belong here. Our friends are here. Our family not far away and easy to fly to. Our love of food and culture is strongly supported by the plethora of restaurants, museums, and parks. We are surrounded by our people. Those that recycle, babywear, cloth diaper, watch Top Chef, and take their dogs everywhere with them. Sure there are things I don't miss like the endless struggle with parking and traffic...but walking around the corner for my favorite cup of joe and feeing misty rain on my face make up for the shortcomings. Seattle showed me the world and I can't wait to share it with our children.
So now that Dale has started working, it has been crunch time trying to find a house and time to move. I found a new doctor here, registered at the hospital (Swedish Ballard), and now it's just a matter of loading a UHaul and moving....oops, first we need an address!!
We will keep you posted.
Congrats Dale! I would love to see Seattle. Maybe one day we can! :)
