Bittersweet

Well, it's official. We have moved out of our tiny apartment in Seattle, into an even smaller temporary place in Bremerton. This temporary place happens to be the basement in one of our friends house. So we have a bedroom and a living room. It's enough for our needs for now. Meanwhile, we are looking for a house. We have one that is looking very promising. Anyway, I digress. So tonight, we finished cleaning our old apartment and as we were leaving, Jim reminded me that we have lived in that apartment for more than half our marriage. We just had our 4th anniversary, and we have been in that apartment for about 2 3/4 years. Bittersweet moment. But on to better, more exciting things.

Packing

Well, finally, at long last, it has happened. Jim FINALLY got his job transfer we have been waiting for for 2 years. So at the end of June, we are moving over to Bremerton. And we have begun the process of buying our first home. Talk about exciting! We found one that we wrote an offer with our realitor for earlier today. We will continue to look around though, because there may be something better out there for us. With the amount of time it takes to be approved by the bank, we should have plenty of time to look more. Anyway, so yesterday, I was packing some stuff up. I came across some Christmas lights in bags, and I thought how cool it is to think that by Christmas this year, we may be in our first house. And we'll get to decorate it how we want, and make it our own. How cool is that! Anyway, I'm just so excited about all this, as I'm sure you can tell.
