What a wacky couple weeks of activity at our house in Duvall, WA!
Jake from Duvall re-texturized the bathroom walls, Mark from Woodinville painted the interior, the guys from the Ukraine laid the laminate, Carlos, Eduardo & Marco from Mexico replaced the carpet, Cybi from Albania added the trim, Mike installed the new living room ceiling fan/light and dining room chandelier, we had the garage sale, we found homes for the garage sale leftovers and now we just have to spruce up the yard.
And then the fun begins.
I plan to list the house in the Multiple Listing Service on 2/11 and have a Broker’s Open on Tuesday 2/12 (that’s the day when local real estate agents go preview the newest properties on the market.) We hope to get into contract within 2 weeks and close the deal by April 1 – April Fool’s Day – HA.
In between we will wrap up our Teaching English as a Second Language training/certification, complete our Intensive Spanish II course, get immunized, hopefully secure teaching positions in Mexico, take care of all of the financial and legal details, pack our trailer, and get ready for a MAJOR ROAD TRIP!
Everyday we realize that the “road trip day” is drawing closer. And as I look around at the beautiful mountains, green grass and trees, plus the occasional bald eagle, I have a deeper appreciation for all that we take for granted here in the Great Northwest.
Notwithstanding (as Renee would write), we’re ready for the BIG adventure!
The damn palm

I remember our last month in Seattle before we moved. There was an air of excitement and adventure, but also a somewhat depressed feeling... of missing Seattle even though I was still there. I remember a particular day when I went to lunch by myself at Anthony's, then walked around Golden Gardens beach on a beautiful spring day. I took several pictures, and still reflect back on that from time to time.
I'm so excited for you that you're both taking on this new challenge. :)
