we made it to seattle!! proof is below, taken from gas works park:
busy, busy, busy, busy – that’s how it’s been going for us lately. we traveled up to seattle for a whirlwind apartment hunting trip this weekend. thanks to mike’s amazing itinerary and coordination, we found a beautiful apartment in a great area within our budget and exceeding our expectations in just two days, instead of the three we planned to spend. so we were able to enjoy the last day of our trip by traveling to whidbey island and spending time with my awesome family members who live in the area. and this weekend, we’re popping down to visit mike’s parents to celebrate his mom’s 60th birthday this weekend. fun times!
this whole move/grad school thing is getting really real, friends. we’ve officially begun a search for movers, and a are in the midst of a serious search for apartments in seattle. i’m having a hard time believing that we’ll be moving in just over a month. it’s craziness.
a few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to receive two large bags of zucchini from mike’s mom’s garden. as soon as we got home, i grated the zucchini in my food processor, and added it into spaghetti sauce and mini zucchni bread loaves for our upcoming camping trip to the russian river.
i can’t wait to share the amazing summer dinner recipe pictured above with you! but first, i have to share photos from a cooking class we attended on thursday night. the class was taught by joseph schultz (many of you from santa cruz might know him better as india joze). joseph danced around the kitchen and created an amazing 11 dishes during the three hour chickpea festival class:
