Hoping to move to Washington in the moderately near future

It started as a backup plan (if Jason didn't get into the accounting program here at BYU we would transfer to UW) but it seems like we get more excited by the idea every day. We don't like the weather much here in Utah (not that Washington is a ton better, but it isn't quite as cold so we'll take what we can get). The bottom line is we couldn't afford to pay out of state tuition so a school in Washington is really the only choice besides BYU. It will be nice to be close to our family too, especially my girls! Seattle just seems like a cool place to live for awhile too. We started looking at apartments on cragslist, just for the heck of it, and there are some really nice apartment buildings in downtown Bellvue (which is just a fifteen minute drive from UW campus- and less than an hour to Olympia). They really aren't much more expensive than apartments down here, which shouldn't be the case. Downtown Bellvue sounds like a fun place to live!
One place we found sounds good (not that they will necessarily have openings when/if we move there). It is this huge complex with a restaurant, workout room, pool, and all sorts of stuff. It is in downtown by the library, lots of restaurants and shopping. There were other nice, new places like this too. The rent is actually shockingly affordable on a lot of these new complexes. Well that's enough talk about all that because we won't know for a few more months what we are going to do. If Jason gets into the accounting program here, we really should suck it up and stay because BYU has the top accounting school in the nation right now.
Well besides thinking about that possible new adventure, we havn't been up to anything new. I only have one more full week of the semester and that is really exciting! I guess I survived after all. Of course looking back it seems like it even went fast. It should be a really fun summer. I signed up for Weight Watchers today. I'm at an all time high so I really need to do something about that. I know a few people who have had success with weight watchers and it seems so easy to keep track of your intake with the points. The website makes it so easy too, they have all the tools you need. Now I just have to stay motivated to keep eating healthy and work out. Anyways, here are some pictures from the last couple months.

Valentines Day

Our one warm, sunny day so far this year- we went to rock canyon and had a picnic :)
