The Digs...

The View From My Back Door
Eh, apparently I've been pretty bad about keeping up this blog. But here we go...

I've been settling in to living in Walla Walla for the past month, and am sorta getting used to it. I can usually find my way around to one place or another (like the grocery, the community theater, the local ball field, schools, cafes, candy stores, pizza joints, and other such great places).


A Seat For You...
All the boxes are unpacked in my apartment, and the Living Room has taken shape; ready for visitors and such. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but there's a little creek running behind the apartment building, which is great for ambience, sound, and a bit of a breeze that runs off of it on hot days. My neighbors moved out, and suddenly a tabby with a folded over tail appears at my back door every day... what to do, what to do...?

"meow, meow, meow, meow..."
It's also great because I'm only a few blocks away from the church that I work at too, and often walk to work. Great neighborhood, right next to the local YMCA. Oh, and I'm also just a few blocks from the downtown of Walla Walla, which is quite convenient. Recently I've been to high school football games, city league soccer matches, local theatre shows, and many cups of coffee...

Enter September...

I can't say that there's much in epicness to report, but still thought I'd post a quick note.

I'm getting settled here in Walla Walla; I unpacked the last box at my apartment, so that's quite an accomplishment... plus it makes it more difficult to folk to walk off with my stuff in case that is their intent...

My office at the church is coming together nicely as well, with the furniture in an open format now... I just need to acquire a chair or two for people to sit in when visiting. Now for the rest of the Youth Cave System... Did I mention that my office and the youth rooms were in the basement?


Anyhow, it's the weekend of the Walla Walla Fair & Rodeo and I'll be wandering about that, hopefully running into a plethora of students from church who can show me the epicness of the fairgrounds...
