at the risk of gushing, let me just say how extremely excited i am. as much as i love utah, we really feel like our family belongs in seattle. thank goodness for that holy ghost guy.
we took a trip a couple of weeks ago to find our new place, and here it is! (oops, i forgot to take photos while we were inside... i'm sure i'll post some anyway after we move in.)
some stats about the new place: it's on the plateau in issaquah, a beautiful area that's mostly private residential (not apartments). the city has nice developments, great city codes, and hoa's that make the area lovely. lots of walking trails, nothing ghetto (can you say west provo?? err, i mean, i like it). still accessible to the i-90 corridor, meaning the commute isn't bad. without traffic, we're only 20 minutes from the city!
our front door
the courtyard out our back door
that's our patio on the bottom there! see all the windows? and the grass? ooo....there are 12, yes 12, windows - more than our current apt. and our last one combined! 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (yes, a master suite :). if you took our current apartment, drop a bedroom, and add: a bathroom, 250+ square feet, 7 windows and a VIEW of something besides dirty bumpers and a parking lot!, a pantry, cabinets that actually work, a laundry closet, nice flooring, designer paint, a walk-in closet, a kitchen nook for our table, a formal dining area for our piano, a wood-burning fireplace, a patio, a lawn, all in a great floorplan, you'd have our new place. so, basically, it's waaaaay nicer.
a few other photos from the trip, for your enjoyment!
who me? of course that's not my mess...
you can never have too many naked baby bath pictures! gotta have blackmail material, right?
