some big news...

All of you who also read my cousin's blog are holding your breath right now, eh? well our news isn't as big in a life-changing way, and yet, physically, it's the biggest news we've ever had.

what did you do this weekend? make any major purchases? we did.

check out the cool mural in this room

we toured the house saturday morning, made the offer saturday evening, and it was accepted on sunday! no counteroffers which was nice, but so fast! it's in redmond, right near redmond high school, in a development called Abbey Road. we still have the standard contingencies (inspection, financing etc), but if all goes well, we'll close August 26. we have been lightly "looking" since January, but we weren't in a rush to move so this is still a surprise that it all worked out so well so fast. I do really like the house, and yet we have loved loved loved the place we're in now, and we'll be sad to sell it. crazy that we're trading our proximity / walkability to the grocery store, trail, and all that goes with being "downtown" (for redmond) for more square feet, a backyard, and a happy little community. I guess we really do have kids now.
