Our New Place Is...

What a fast week. I feel i was just telling you last week about our fruitless search for a new place to live... oh wait, it was! Wow! Well good news, the very next day we went and checked out a place for FHE. It's a duplex, so we will have neighbors next door, but it is a lovely place. I would post the video here... but I would rather not have just any person see it since this is a public page. We have a decent back yard that needs work done (weeding, watering, removal of cut grass clumps) and we hope to start a garden somewhat soon. The rooms are decent size. We have 1 and a half baths as well as a hole in the garage door that will prove purrfect for keeping Apollo's litter box in the garage. The neighborhood looks very nice too. It's kinda in the woods, but we're just on the edge of it with beautiful homes on the other side of us.

We can happily settle into the new place on the 29th of this month. Here's hoping this week was just a taste of what the rest of the month will be like- fast! I'm excited and look forward to making new friends and finding a new job in the area. I'm still employed, but the commute will literally kill our car if I don't find one shortly after moving that's closer to our new address.

Now don't get me wrong. Steven and I will miss our area. It may not be as pretty as the new place, but we did make friends here and I know our ward will feel our absence. I really love the Des Moines ward and I think that's what has held Steven and I back for some time was that we have been useful (let alone young and active), yet he also needs to be closer to his work. I've also been wanting to look into being a nanny with all the experience I have and being closure to Kirkland, Redmond, etc. will provide many opportunities for me to find that kind of job.

Anyways... I suppose you'd like to know exactly where we're going. We'll be moving to Bothell at the end of the month. I promise for those who live somewhat near by and are interested in seeing the new place, I'll be trying to set up a house warming party for a simple, pot luck and games kind of party. In the mean time, here's hoping for a quick 3 weeks!
