We're here!

Hello friends and family,

Well, the adventurers have landed safe and sound in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Michelle, Baxter, Sophie and I are settled in to our cozy one bedroom corporate apartment and really enjoying all of the space (insert laugh here…).
I flew with the cat (in cargo) and Michelle and her dad brought the dog in a 5 day car trip! But, I hear that they had a very good time with the drive up - - I even heard about a few side trips to Nevada….Hmmmm…….

The job with WaMu is going really well - they are definitely keeping me busy these days. And Michelle's business is starting to get established here in Seattle. We had a great last week with Harvey and Jane and began learning a lot about the city! Thanks Harvey and Jane! : )
All in all, it is great being here. The weather is amazing (reminds me a lot of Estes Park, just not as dry). The city is a cross between Austin and San Francisco (Syb - you would really love it!).
And for really good news - - - after sifting thru many scarey and very small in-town properties, we finally found a keeper! We made the offer late last night and the sellers accepted it this morning, so now let the financing begin! Hello tuna fish for dinner every night?

Here's a quick pic of the house - seemed like a kinda cheesey idea, but I figured, what the heck. It's located in this great historic neighborhood (similar to the Heights) and within walking distance of some great restaurants, wine bars (need I say more?), etc.

Not the same square footage we had on Oak Bend in Houston (insert laugh here), but it is going to be a really great place that Michelle and I can call home. And……..we are really looking forward to having lots and lots of visitors. I hear summers here are absolutely amazing - - - any takers? If so, we have an extra room or large closet ready and waiting for you. And here's the best part - - NO AIR CONDITIONING! Yeah, you just open the windows. Amazing….

Hope all is well. We miss you all very much and look forward to seeing you here in Seattle very soon.
