Coast Swap: New Home Tacoma WA

We took house #5 from the our apartment hunting. We're so excited to live in a house! (Especially after two weeks in a hotel.) Special thanks to Brock for helping us move in our furniture. Stephen's RI boss was in Tacoma for the weekend, and recommended North Tacoma as a great place to live.


Stephen spent his first month in Washington working from Absher's main office in Puyallup, but now has an office on-site at his new project: a $15 million housing redevelopment in South Tacoma.


Stephen has made a couple business trips to Seattle for meetings and conferences. He got to tour this new building, which lets in too much daylight, causing office workers to hide behind umbrellas!


We celebrated our 4th anniversary with a visit to Seattle. We got couples massages at the Little Red Day Spa. Stephen also wanted to show Ginger the new Seattle Public Library, designed by Rem Koolhaus. 

 



We walked down by the piers and visited fun shops.


A hipster band played outside the original Starbucks. 


We visited Kelsey and Peter, who just bought their own home!



Stephen's friend and coworker Jason has returned home to Puyallup after two years working for Absher in Rhode Island. They spent a day hiking and touring a bed and breakfast with treehouses!

 

Ginger is volunteering with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship with the possibility of returning to part or full time work. She is planting a chapter at Tacoma Community College. Subscribe to her prayer letter here. Ginger is also working part time as a cake decorator at Albertson's bakery. She loves doing silly kid's cakes, and also learned to make giant roses.
