It happened

Much has happened since July.

After remodeling the kitchen we started on the basement. That took nearly a few months. Once that was finished we met with our real estate agent towards listing our house. Remember how we’ve been updating our home for the last almost 3 years in an effort to profit and move to our dream location in Washington state? Member that?

We finally got it listed last month…and had been told an offer was coming our way the next morning. I kid you not. It did and it is an amazing offer without hassles. We close on October 17th. The buyer is a very nice (sounding) man. I believe he was the first to schedule a tour too. We were stoked that that many people wanted to see our place the first day it was listed (and the following day) then wham. Dreams come true-goals accomplished.

But he wanted to be in the house as soon as he could, so things have gone very quickly…very. It’s only now I can breathe a little and wanted to update you peoples with the news.

WE MADE IT HAPPEN-WE’RE MOVING TO WASHINGTON! (That’s all I wanted to put in this post, but I thought you deserved more.)

After a trip to Indiana to see family and friends, Greg, the pups and myself will be driving across the country with stops in Deadwood, SD, Cody, WY, Yellowstone, Missoula, MT, Leavenworth, WA then to our rental house in Federal Way. (I left out our stay in Iowa because, well, it’s not a thrilling part of Iowa…is there such a place there?  Kidding.)  I’ve booked cabins, cottages and houses in place of hotels. We haven’t had a vacation or honeymoon, oh, ever and, although we are driving the 40+ hours with pups who will surely be annoyed, this is exciting. It’s all exciting.

Know any great places to eat along the way?
