Moving... Again!

It's time for our annual move. We've been looking at houses in Olympia for a week or so. We filled out an application and gave our notice, so unless the landlady backs out then we'll move in on February 2nd. She told us that she didn't want us to add or do anything to the flowers or yard, she has someone take care of it. She is in luck because we end up killing everything we try to plant. This past summer we killed eight plants! I am not exagerating, we are dangerous!

Everything is wonderful about this place with the exception of the carpet; it's a hideous blue-green from the early nineties. A quick stop to Ikea should fix that pretty well though. The neighborhood is awesome, behind us is a gated retirement community. We're really sick of all the loud neighbors we have now, so that will be a nice change of pace. And we should finally be able to get some people to play pinochle with!

We've been thinking of moving up to Olympia since before we were married. We're bummed we have to leave everyone here but we just don't care for Vancouver and Justin misses his hometown. And besides Justin works from home so there is nothing tying us down at all. Please pray that we will be able to get everything packed up and ready in four weeks, Dahlia and Valen have other agendas so this should be interesting.

Nice place. You'll have to learn the Peter G. fight song.

Looks like it won't be too far from the library. That's always good. Do you need me to come help you move? I get three days for Chinese New Year, but I think that you will already be moved by then.

If the Peter G fight song is as cool as the Michael T one, then I'm all over it.

We can save a few boxes for you if you'd like. We'll still have stuff to do at that point.

We also live by the post office. We could check out books in your name and mail them to you if you'd like.

Hey, you'll be just down the road, almost. :)

Very cute house! I'm glad that things are all falling into place for you guys. Bummed to see you go, though. Let me know if you need my help at any point!

Robin on Jan 5, 2008 1:42pm

Oh...we'll be sorry to see you go, but God bless you!! Keep us updated.

I hope the move goes smoothly...with your little extra helpers! Will you be closer to Justin's parents...and perhaps free babysitting? This has been one of the biggest perks to living in our home town!

yes we will be a few miles from his parents, it will be nice to have them around, not just for the babysitting, but that is an extra perk!!

Is the rumor true...are you coming to my Pampered Chef party Monday?

YOU'RE LIKE AN HOUR CLOSER!!! I'm coming to visit.

I want you to know I had a blast loading, driving and unloading your house.
