So we have finally sold our home in Washington (for about $40,000 less than what it was worth six months ago - you gotta love the housing market). It closes on Tuesday and we are so thrilled to not have that hanging over heads any more. Luckily about the time we went into an agreement for our Washington house we found the perfect house here in Utah. As you can see from the pictures it isn't glamorous or super amazing - but it is great for us. The biggest selling point - the detached two-car garage in the back for Scott's workshop. This means that I can actually park in the attached garage without having the dodge tools and storage and Scott can have the space he has always dreamed of. Yipeeee! Plus, I actually have a beautiful, decent sized kitchen now (something I lacked in the WA house). We are thrilled. We actually don't close on this house here until the 29th, but because we were homeless this month they let us rent in until we close.
Okay, so my big discovery about the rain forest! Well, Scott's company paid for a moving company to pack and move us (so great, by the way) and holy cow, I am pretty sure most of a rare Brazilian rain forest is sitting on the side of my house. Between the boxes and paper I am thinking Al Gore may want to start pointing the whole environmental thing toward the rich who use moving companies (and go on cruises, which use amazing amounts of fuel. So much so, that by you driving a "green" car isn't going to make a drop of difference - little political note there. I think Al Gore is an idiot and Nobel just lost all credibility with me).
Anyway, with all that said - we are thrilled be here and never have I seen a more beautiful November. No offense to my Washington friends, but good riddance.

I love the new house! You deserve a huge kitchen. You were right about the little one in the other house. Do you miss Washington at all? There are some days that I expect to walk outside and than I remember... oh yeah... I am gone from that place. Anyway... blah blah blah. We really need to come and visit. Tell Adam Happy birthday from me!!! And tell Lily hi. I sure do miss them. :)
So I kind of missed some of my words.. I meant to say...I expect to walk outside "and get soaked from the rain" :)
i love your new house! it is beautiful! and i totally hear you on the movers wasting so much...when the Navy moved us from San Diego to Yucca Valley, we unpacked and had enough paper and boxes to donate to Todd's brother who was also moving out of a house twice the size of ours and when they were done they had leftovers!! Sheesh.
