Finally...Port Orchard, WA

This is what we see from our kitchen window and our dining room! It is the Olympic Mountains!

We are finally settled in Port Orchard, WA. It is an amazing little town! We are renting a three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house! We love the house to pieces! We are settled in the house and waiting to see what the future holds for our lives!

Journey to Port Orchard, WA

Trying to get through customs!

We saw a sign that is our last name in Canada!

In November, the Coast Guard transferred us to a 378' boat in Seattle, WA. When traveling down from Alaska, we took the Alaska Marine Ferry to Canada. From Canada, we traveled down to Seattle. We knew before moving down to the Seattle area that we didn't want to be in the city. We looked in the outer skirts of Seattle and found an amazing little town called Port Orchard. It is so beautiful where we are living now.

Sunsets in Alaska

There were many awesome sunsets in Alaska. Tyler and I actually captured an amazing sunset one night around 10:30. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing! It was absolutely beautiful!

Sitka, AK House

This is a picture of our back porch! It wasn't huge, but it was a decent size for the two of us!

When we were stationed in Sitka, AK, we had no choice but to live on base! I hated the thought of being surrounded by other coastie wives, but I smiled big and lived through it! Once we got moved in and everything set up, I really enjoyed my home. I always look forward to arranging our many different houses the way we love!
