The Move
We’re Online
We just got our internet connection working and our computers are now set up! We’re fully online! We’re still working on unpacking and getting some boxes stashed in closets and storage areas. More posts coming later (with pics too)! 😀
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
Nick and I have been spending today moving things over to our new house. I think we’ve done five trips so far, but Nick thinks it might be six. 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
Volunteer Park Conservatory
The last two days have been really nice, sunny days with temperatures in the 70’s. Today, however, Margaret and Donna got to experience a cool, wet Seattle day. 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

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
Getting awfully close now…
Reason #364 why I can’t wait to move: Getting into Gunter was not an easy task yesterday! I think our neighbors have gotten crazier now that we know we’re moving… either that, or I’m just super impatient about moving. 😉 It’s just after 4am. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t … Continue reading

Nick promised a blog post this week about our big news and now we can finally share it with you all… Nick and I are buying our first house!!! 😀 We’re super excited! We had been looking at houses online for almost a year, so we got a pretty good feel for how much houses cost … Continue reading
