Church

On Sunday, we were excited to try a church out and finally meet people like us. The church began in February, so it was different from Building Church, which is completely normal. I don't need to go into details on differences because I don't want to compare them. We decided to go to the 301 growth track class (DISC personality test) so we could meet people and get a better understanding of the church. It definitely comforted me! This could be our church, but we'll see where God leads us. One thing they mentioned is that a couple from Church of the Highlands (in Birmingham, AL) is moving here because God called them here. They're leaving their house, jobs, and everything else! That's faith. I would love to meet them. We plan on going to small groups throughout the week. Thanks for the encouragement BC family!

On Sunday after church and before the growth track class, we decided to explore the city. Traffic in Seattle on a Sunday is like rush hour in Huntsville on a Friday afternoon. We went shopping at Nordstrom and Macy's (my two favorites other than the LOFT) before eating dinner. Restaurants in Seattle are running a promotion this week where over 100 gourmet restaurants offer a 3-course meal for $25. Normally these meals would cost $30+. We went to a Tom Douglas restaurant called Dahlia's Lounge. I had butternut squash ravioli for an appetizer, halibut with pole beans and mashed potatoes for my entree, and a flourless chocolate torte with gingerbread ice cream for dessert. I love restaurant week! We're looking forward to going out one (or two) more time(s) this week to take advantage of some great food!
