Seattle...Temperate???

So...on December 1st, it snowed in Seattle. I was at a Women's Training Day at church and came out to blowing snow! It was beautiful (and I'm glad I wasn't driving)! We went for a walk along the lake, took a few pics to share out in front of our house, sat by a lovely fire with our Christmas lights on and just enjoyed being here in Seattle. And then...

it started to rain...and rain...and rain. Oh, my goodness, y'all! You basically never see a real Texas sized rain drop in Seattle. However, in the past 72 hours, I have seen more than I ever want to see in Seattle again! Monday morning (my first day at the new job, which is going swimmingly...no pun intended) I stepped out of bed into water. The level was basically at the carpet...the kind that squishes over your toes when you walk...so not too bad. When I came home, the second bedroom had water. We moved to the living room to sleep on a blow up matress that night, only to step out of bed into water on Tuesday morning. We moved to the office to sleep Tuesday night. At this point, there are 12 piles of furniture, 11 carpets peeled back, 10 fires roaring, 9 dehumidifiers dehumidifying, 8 space heaters a heating, 7 thermostats cranked up, 6 windows closed to fresh (wet) air, 5 extension cords...4 feet to walk in, 3 places to sit, 2 more days in the week, and 1 big hope for no more rain. (Feel free to add music for effect and decrease the numbers for a little more reality!)

That's been out week in a nutshell! Fun times on this Seattle Adventure!
