Going, Going…

We’ve had three bids come in since our open house this weekend and it looks like we are going to accept one of them. Just working between our agents to finalize a few details, but we should know by this evening whether it will be good or not.
I’ve learned so much through this whole […]

A Penny Saved

For the past four years, Christopher and I have been saving much of our spare change in a huge piggy bank. The original plan was to throw a kick ass party when the bank was full. As we’ve been working on getting the house in order for the move, we realized that the […]

Open House

Our house was officially on the market Friday and in the past couple of days we’ve had three couples come by with their realtors, one couple came by twice already. Our realtor is holding an open house tomorrow and we’re hoping for some good traffic. Ideally, we’d love to accept a contract early […]

Praise Oprah

This week, Oprah had a show on a recently published book, He’s Just Not That Into You. BRILLIANT! I wish I could go out right now and buy a bunch of copies to hand out on the street. Really.
The co-author’s take a no-excuses approach to dating, discussing the standards that women must […]

Leaving on a Jet Plane

It’s all official, we’re really moving to Seattle. The relocation company has taken charge, the house is on the market and we’ve got our one-way tickets from Dulles to Sea-Tac on October 20th.
The relocation package that we were offered is incredible. Honestly, I thought companies had long ago abandon such spending. The […]

New Smithsonian

I’m so excited for the new American Indian Museum that opened today. Thankfully, the museum opened while we’re still in town. With my parents coming into town in a few weeks, I got us tickets to go before we move.

Rain City

Chris and I had a great weekend in Seattle. It was, without a doubt, the reality check we both needed in helping us to better define where we’d like to live, the kind of house we’ll be looking for and really getting a taste for what our new life will be like. More […]

Hot Market

Woo Hoo! I met with the realtor this morning and I’m so excited to get the house on the market. We’ll likely be able to get a single-family home out in Seattle and we’re both very happy about that, but it will still be really hard to leave our cute little “first home”. […]

Frazzled

We’re heading to Seattle for the weekend and although I’m very excited about the trip, I feel like I’m coming apart at the seams. The realtor is coming over this morning to get the house on the market and I’ve been running around trying to make sure that things are tidy. Seems each […]

Remembering

It’s been a quick three years, but I’m so thankful for the opportunity to experience the September 11th events while living in Washington.
