Seattle Apartment – Before & After
Yesterday’s move from the apartment to the townhouse went well. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and there wasn’t any rain. We had two pickup trucks to haul our furniture and each truck took two trips, so we were done pretty quickly. The only casualty was a spare glass Pyrex measuring cup… and we had a few … Continue reading
We Have TV… and PBS!
Nick just finished hooking up the TV and components… and we’re very, very happy to report that we have PBS again! We don’t watch a ton of TV, so we just have an inexpensive indoor TV antenna that we use to pick up basic channels. PBS was the main channel we watched back in Michigan, … Continue reading
Bye Bye, Apartment!
Just turned in our keys! We went over there this morning to pick up a few final things and do some last minute cleaning. We’re going to set up internet at our house today, so expect a longer blog post later.
Last Minute Packing
Our computers and computer desks are over at the house, so we are dependant on our phones for Internet access for now. We just finished packing our TV and our apartment is looking pretty bare. We found a box of graham crackers and a jar of applesauce, so at least we won’t starve lol!
Last Night at the Apartment

We’re pretty exhausted now and we’re taking a break to have Pagliacci Pizza for dinner. We were lucky this morning, because it wasn’t raining. After our … Continue reading

Nick and I spent the morning taking a load of boxes over to the house and setting up some things there. It’s really starting to feel like home. … Continue reading
Alki and Pike Place Market
This morning, we all went to West Seattle to meet up with Mom and Amanda. We got there a little early, so we stopped to take some pictures of downtown (see picture above – the Space Needle is orange “galaxy gold” in celebration of the Seattle World’s Fair 50th anniversary). We walked around Alki Beach … Continue reading
We are Homeowners!!!
OMG, what an exciting day! We took Margaret, Donna, and Suki to the University of Washington this afternoon, so they could see where Nick works. Suki is a 14-year-old pug and she is having a hard time walking right now, so she was pushed around in a stroller (lots of people commented about how cute … Continue reading
Visitors from Out of Town
Today was a busy day! Nick and I signed all of the required documentation for our new house and then I transferred the necessary funds over to the escrow company. We’re going to miss having that money in savings, but it will definitely be worth it. 😀 Nick’s mom, Donna, and Donna’s pug (Suki) arrived safely this … Continue reading
