The House Out West
My trip last week was successful, if hectic. We're excited about the house we decided to rent. The problem with the house is that we may not want to move out, because it's so big and I doubt we could actually buy a house like it. :-) I'm not sure of exact size, but it's probably 2,700-3,000 square feet, and is on a couple acres of land (by my estimate) that back onto "Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park." It's within 15-20 minutes of Elizabeth's office, which is about as far as we want to get for now.
The house is some distance away from the road, though, as you can see from the gravel driveway:
Here's the view of the dining room and living room from the front porch:
And here's a view of part of the back yard:
Our moving dates are settled: The movers come on January 10th to pack, the 11th to load, and we fly out on Friday the 14th. Our stuff should arrive sometime the following week. We now have just over two weeks :-O to finish sorting through our stuff and getting everything ready to move. It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks.
