God is Good...all the time.

"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. "
--Benjamin Franklin

We started the apartment search yesterday, and combined with our first grocery shopping experience in Seattle, it proved to be a rather depressing day. Money doesn't go very far here, in rent or in groceries...and Safeway is no Wegmans. :(
BUT, God is good and He used our "bad day" to teach trust and patience. We started out this morning with a new outlook and renewed trust in God's sovereignty...and we found potential apartments, a new friend, and...beer. What could be better? :) Seattle has gained a name for more than just its coffee, as the independent breweries here are really good as well. Tonight, as our stomach's were growling, we happened upon Hale's Brewery and Pub . We stopped in for dinner and were quickly overwhelmed with their beer selection. Fortunately, they had just the thing for us...a sampler. :) So, we enjoyed a pizza and Hale's "Wheel of Beer " Sampler. All we can say is, wish you were here! :)

On the way home, we were again stunned with Mt. Rainier. You're sitting in traffic on the highway and then, out of nowhere, it appears! It really is spectacular and this picture doesn't do it any justice, but we wanted to give you a glimpse of what it was like.

And so the search continues...keep praying. :)
