I think it's fair to say that I've more or less settled into my new life in the PNW. I can't believe I've been here over a month and a half now. I have a nice little circle of new friends, plenty of social outlets, and I've started swing dancing again. Fall colors have finally peaked (I'm so lucky to have gotten two falls this year!) and the daily drizzle of rain has begun. Things are going surprisingly well, considering the doubts I had about leaving Alaska and going back to school.
