We’re Officially in Pending Status

We have found a house in the Edmonds area that we both really like, and as of last night our offer is officially pending. At this point, we’re waiting for our lender to do an appraisal. If that goes smoothly, we should be able to move in by the end of the month. Of course, this means that we’ll have to say goodbye to the Daley St. house, which we started calling “the lean-to”. It’s actually been a great place to live for the last year, and it’s a perfect location. I mean, it’s rare to live in a place and look out your front window and say “My grandpa used to be a principal back when that was a school, but now he just plays Santa dressed up as Darth Vader during Christmas plays that take place there.” Oh, that’s happened to a couple of you? Alright, maybe this Daley St. Lean-To isn’t as unique as we thought. Good thing we’re moving!�

A map to the new house is included below. It’s only a couple miles from the Daley St. rental.

Syd-a-Roo

Sydney, our pug, turns one today!! She is such a hilarious dog, we spenSydney @ Camp Janetd majority of our time laughing at her. Right now she’s visiting Camp Janet for the week. Staying at my parent’s house is one of her favorite things to do because she can run free and follow Sparky around. Plus, she gets to hang out with loads of other dogs like Tonka, Mac, Sparky, & Sydney. Both my mom and dad claim that Syd is a true party animal when she’s there….not sleeping at night, waking up very early.

Barry and I get to see another side of our little pug at home. We both force ourselves to wake up, way too early, to take her on a walk before we leave for work. Sydney hasn’t quite bought into the idea of getting a workout in before you start your day. Often times she’ll fake sleep, and by fake sleep I mean stay in bed until the last possible moment.

Although she’s a year old now, she’s still a puppy. I came home from work the other day to discover that we now have a little bit less carpet than I thought….at least we’re moving, but that’s another post, another day.

The people have been clamoring for a shot of Sydney’s birthday, so here’s  Sydney partying like a rock star.
