Update

It's been a long week in our new house. Move in day went fairly well although the movers did damage some of our belongings and also broke Scott's desk so we had to go in search of a new one, which turned out to be much harder than we expected. We finally found one at Costco but had to drive to Silverdale to retrieve it. Now our office is all set up for our return to work. We have had tons of people come by to give us bids on landscaping, electrical services, remodeling, window replacement and pest control. We have had some setbacks with the number of issues that have crept up as well as some sticker shock, but overall we are happy that we moved here. We are loving the area and have met some neighbors. One couple even brought us a lovely bunch of roses from their yard. Yesterday afternoon we took a break from unpacking to take the puppies for a long hike at Pt. Defiance which they loved. I love that it is only a 9 minute drive from here. Today Scott went up to Seattle to help Gabby and Ethan move into their new apartment. Meanwhile, Jen and Clarissa came over and helped me yank out a ton of overgrown plants. There is still a ton to do, but we accomplished a lot and I have the sore muscles to prove it! Tomorrow we plan on doing more unpacking and also get in a little rest as well before having to go back to work on Tuesday.
