the moving schedule...

Well... just found out today that it is going to take anywhere from 6-15 days to get our stuff to Everett, WA. Our movers will be doing their survey this week and then they can tell us more specifically when they will pack and move us. But... it probably means that we're going to get "packed" sooner than we thought we would. Hmmm... I wonder what we'll be keeping around and what we'll be shipping ourselves at the last minute? Stay tuned!!!!

The current schedule...

I've put up a version of the current schedule that you can get by clicking on the link to the right. Keep tabs on what we have planned in our final few weeks in Webster Groves/STL by visiting here.

Cheers!

We have a house!

Well... we went on our house hunting trip last week and we found a house! We've put a contract on it... and it should be going through shortly.

I figured everyone would want a few pictures of it so... here ya go!

This is the front of the house:

Here's a look at the kitchen:

And here's a look at the view out the back... yes we found another house with another big deck... go figure:
I'll post many more soon... but until then you can also view the MLS listing here.

Right now the schedule has me leaving for Seattle on 4/22. I'll be back and forth a few times... then Colleen and the Kids come up on 6/11.

Back to work... lots to do before I go.
More to post soon.

Trip to Seattle

Things are moving along fast and furious now. The four of us will be headed to Seattle next Tuesday (March 27, 2006) for our house hunting trip.

We're also busily working on our current house to sell it. There's landscaping to be done and some minor bathroom plumbing that we're taking care of this week. Also... lots of powerwashing so that we can have the deck looking great for our prospective buyers.

We're going to have our friend Maureen Cashel list the house for us. But, it might be the easiest sell she's ever had because Colleen's Cousin Tim is interested in the house. He's on vacation right now but will be back by the end of the week and he's got first dibs on it if he wants it. He saw it in its "unimproved" state last week and liked it a lot.

welp... nuff of a break. back to work.

wheels in motion....

Well the wheels are starting to move now. We've made the initial contact with the relocation manager... and are now working out our schedule to get out to the Seattle area for a visit. We're also moving forward with all of the tasks we have to get done to list the house. Lots to do... better get back at it. more later. .b

more waiting...

Well... now we wait for our Relo person to get on board. Meanwhile... tons of things to do to the house here in Webster Groves to get ready to sell. We hope that maybe a family member might buy it but if not... we need to be ready to put in on the market STAT.

We're hoping to go out to Seattle over the kid's spring break for our house hunting trip but we have to get those arrangements done first.

Meanwhile... we have regular life to continue... we're busy with Soccer for Ben and Lacrosse for Nick. And... there's always something we're responsible for at church. So... plenty to keep us busy. More to write soon.
