New home in Wenatchee

It's a done deal.

Buddy LOVES his new home and so do we. Most of all is the heart warming fun of watching him stretch out and/or race around inside the house. He is sooooooo Happy to be here. And so then are we.!!!!!!

We closed on the house on Thursday, November 15th. We headed over the pass as planned on the train on Wednesday, cleared out our storage unit, picked up groceries and prescriptions at the Navy Base, and picked up stuff at a friend's home in Granite Falls. It didn't go excatly as planned, but it did go pretty well. The train was late - very late. We didn't get to Everett until 10:30 and didn't get our rental truck until 11:30. So, it was noon by the time we got to the storage unit. Luckily Connie's son, Brian, had an interview in Marysville that morning, with Milgard Windows, so he drove over the pass also and was able to help us. He came to the storage unit and helped Bob load it up. In the meantime Connie headed to Marysville to the BX/commissary facility there using Brian's car. The guys finished the loading and headed to Granite Falls, and we met up in Monroe for a very late lunch. We were back in Wenatchee by about 6:00. Turns out the trip over the pass was good - Brian has been offered a job at Milgard Glass. He has accepted the job, but isn't sure when he starts.

Thursday afternoon we unloaded the rental truck and then headed back to Entiat to get some stuff from Brian's and Toddi's storage unit. Since Brian and Toddi are living in a shop (hoping to eventually build a home on the property) we're going to store/use some of their stuff to save them the cost of the storage unit.

We've been busy getting things setup. The fridge is in place, the washer and dryer are hooked up and working, the TV is setup with Direct TV satelite, the internet has been installed, some items have been transferred from the fifth wheel to the house, and we're actually living in our home. It is all a lot of work. Top things to do on Bob's list are to reassemble the dining room table and hookup the icemaker/in door water on the fridge. Connie's list include getting ready to cook Thanksgiving day dinner. Happy T-day to all who read this blog!

We're having the side yard/parking area worked on and gravel put in so that we can get the fifth wheel parked next to the house. Soon we will post some pictures. We're happy with the house. There are a couple of things that need fixing, but that is to be expected.
