hi everyone - newbie intro
Hi,ladies! I have posted a few times, but figured it was time to actually introduce myself. I wish I would have found all of you earlier, but better now than never, right?
I live just outside Seattle with my DH and one kitty. No kids for us. I love other people's kids, just have never had the desire to have any of my own.
We are in the process of updating our home, but I sometimes wonder why we thought we could do it all ourselves. So far we have painted most of the walls (no white for me, please!), done a mini redo of our main bath, changed out a ton of the light fixtures, put in new flooring in our hallway and are almost finished with a kitchen update (new base cabinet, new or refaced upper cabinets, new appliances, counters & backsplash).
In response to a couple of Mamie's questions from a post below, I love it here! I can pretty much drive an hour or less in any direction and hit beach, mountains, city and/or country. I love my convertible and can't imagine ever having to drive a hard-top, which makes my half hour plus commute much more bearable.
I will try to figure out how to post a few pics later, as it's time for me to go to lunch now!

Thanks! I grew up in Olympia (about an hour south of Seattle), but have lived in the area most of my life (spent three years in NC).
Here are a few pics of us:

Hi Darby!
LOVE Washington State... I'm an east coaster but my sister lives out in WA about an hour from Seattle with my niece and nephew. I went out the for the first time back in February and I absolutely loved it - you're right about everything being so close!

cdobs - That's so cool! Where do they live (if you don't mind sharing)?
Lark - Evergreen sure does give Olympia a different reputation. It's such a unique school! The students bring a lot of character to the town--help to equal out the rigid government types and make for a really cool & diverse place to grow up. Did you ever visit?
They live in Centralia- my sis is a doctor out there. Are you close to there?
