Atkinson clan rejoice, Stewart's get out the tissue box. Joe just received his Orders this morning and it looks like Fort Lewis, WA. Fort Lewis is just south of the Seattle/Tacoma area. The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful part of the country with a lot of fun stuff to do. As you you can see from the pictures above there is the waterfront and the Puget Sound. Then you have Mount Rainer which Joe want to climb. He might be slightly crazy, but I still love him. He asked me if I wanted to climb with him and have to admit my first thought was, "Uh, OK?!? Are you Crazy?" I did tell him I would think about it, I need to get in better shape and maybe that would be great motivation. Any who. Of Course, I can't mention Seattle with out thought of Pike Place Market. Home of the World Famous Fish throwers, and the FISH Philosophy. This is an amazing farmers market with incredible variety. When we were there we saw fruits, vegetables, baked goods, fresh flowers, and even art. It will be a good move for our family. I am excited but sad. We will be about 8 hours from Joe's Family. Which is great I love them dearly. But at the same time I have mixed emotions because it would have been nice to be close to my family also. We will make the best of it while we are there I am sure. The best part is that the Winter Olympics in 2010 are in Vancouver, BC (close enough to drive)! I am really excited about that! At this point after living in Korea "non-command sponsored" I am not sure it really matters where we live any more. I just look forward to getting my household goods again. I miss my fridge, and my washer and dryer. :) Silly, I know... It's the simple things in life.
