Moving was rough--after traveling back from Ukraine, Sasha got sick with something. His only symptoms were a fever (101-ish), headache, and runny nose. He probably had that fever for 5 days, including the days we packed, loaded, and moved. Thank god we hired movers for the unloading process. Best money ever spent: for $150 two young nice trained guys moved all our furniture/boxes in about 45 minutes! If anyone needs a mover in the Seattle area, here's the link to their site: www.ecomoversmoving.com
Using movers actually put us in a better mood than we were before. It was so quick and easy--I wish unpacking was that easy! Since I'm commuting to Seattle, Sasha's been recovering, and I'm doing school/teaching, it has been hard to find time to unpack. Sasha has already learned how to use the washer/dryer, so that's a good thing :)
I guess I should do a post on Ukraine. I hesitated to post while Sasha was gone because I didn't want to openly and constantly announce to the world that Sasha was out of town.. for safety reasons, I guess. To sum it up, Sasha was in Ukraine for 3 1/2 weeks and hated most of it. It was hard to be apart (yes, we're one of those couples, who can't bear to be apart), he had a hard time with culture shock, and he was bored. He did film his friend/neighbor's wedding, so here are a couple photos:
One last thing: I promised my mom a recipe, so here it is:
Yummy Pumpkin Bread
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup pumpkin
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Combine sugar and oil. Add eggs. Stir in pumpkin. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with water. Add nuts. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes.

I could have written part of this post a year ago. Sorry he hated it. On the bright side - it can free up vacation money for somewhere warm (Bahamas? Vegas?)
