In the 48 hours I was up in Washington, I looked at approximately 10 different properties, met with my future employer, met with our lender, met with Clipper’s new trainer, and read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I told my employer that I would definitely be able to start on August 15, which means that I’ll be moving the day after Clipper boards the van to his new home. Where I’ll move depends on how Dave’s interview in Seattle goes next week, how soon he’ll be able to follow me up, and when our house closes. Prospective buyers have been coming to our house but we haven’t had any offers yet. Those will come.
I didn’t make an offer on any of the properties I looked at but was tempted a couple times. Thankfully I slept on the decision(s). Several places oozed charm and privacy but were too wooded to be horse properties. I’d prefer to leave them to people who want to live in the woods. A dairy farm certainly had the acreage for pasture but was too near high voltage power lines for my comfort. One place was a manufactured home on a busy road, across from a future 30-home development. No thanks. Finally yesterday I went to a gorgeous home on flat, river-bottom land. I love the location, the open-ness, the views of Mount Baker and the San Juan Islands. Dave is going to see it next week if it’s still available. If not that one, we’ll continue shopping.
Yahoo, Corinna. I can’t believe you are moving. Anytime later this week to meet for lunch? I’m available all weekend, but bet that’s when you guys are the busiest. I’ve got time next week, too. This week I’m busy on Monday and Wednesday at noon.
I enjoyed seeing out your window of the B&B through your words and I’ve been thinking of you and your move. Wishing you the best Corrina. I hope the house is still available for Dave to see but what a great attitude “if notthat one we’ll continue shopping.” If not that one it’s because there is something better you were to find 🙂 You are tucked in a prayer till I check in here again to see how all is coming along.
