It's been awhile. Far too long really. Over two years if you want to get nitty gritty about it. I didn't mean for that to happen. I really didn’t. It just kinda did. One day we were moving out of our first apartment here in Washington to the next, far superior, one. Then Halloween happened, … Continue reading New Year… New Blog?

The Great Move: Finding an Agent…
At first we were going to try to sell the house ourselves. Mobile homes don't earn equity at the same rate normal homes do. In fact they usually loose equity. So the odds of us making a profit was pretty small - even with all the improvements we had made. Also our mobile home was … Continue reading The Great Move: Finding an Agent…
The Great Move: Research…
While we knew Washington was where we were meant to be, we didn't know where in Washington we wanted to go. So we started researching; where were the best job opportunities for John? Where was housing the cheapest but the neighborhoods were still good? Where were schools with good preschools? And where were all the … Continue reading The Great Move: Research…
The Great Move: Why Washington
Back in 2013, John (my husband) and I went on a little road trip with some friends up to Washington to visit their house in Gig Harbor. John was looking for work. The company he had been with for over a year had let him go because the owner of the company wanted to hire … Continue reading The Great Move: Why Washington
Gone Girl…
It's been over a month and a half since I last posted - which I have a very good reason for! We moved! Instead of being crazy Californians, we are now officially card carrying weird Washingtonians! I meant to share the good news sooner, but it's been a strange and exhausting adventure. I feel like … Continue reading Gone Girl…
What The Fugue…
I finished the pen name project two weeks ago. I edited it (the first part was already edited so that didn't take much), formatted it, created a cover, and sent it out into the world for people to enjoy. Because I did all of this in the space of a few days though, I was … Continue reading What The Fugue…
Hurrying Along…
Posts may be hit or miss for the next couple of weeks. After weeks of silence, we've had some increased interest in our home (three different parties have wanted to see the house and/or talk to the park owners) and we're hopeful that we might finally get an offer. *knock on wood* In addition to … Continue reading Hurrying Along…
Sun Moon and Mouse Hunts…
Unless you live under a rock, you probably heard that there was a little thing that happened on Monday called an eclipse. Where we live, we were only able to see a partial eclipse, but it was still pretty fun to watch the shadows change and the birds get really quiet. We also poked a … Continue reading Sun Moon and Mouse Hunts…
The Sink… (part 1)
Prior to putting our home up for sale, the previous owners painted everything white in an attempt to make things look bigger. Which, frankly, was a bit silly. Our house isn't a mansion, but it's not tiny either. Anywho, when I say they painted everything white, I mean everything. Command strips. Shelves. Cabinet hardware. Door … Continue reading The Sink… (part 1)
