Some of you may remember that I am up against a deadline to move out of my current home and that we are looking to move near the Portland area into our first ever home.
Well fast forward to now. I have found us a realtor in Oregon and also one in Washington (as we are also considering Vancouver Wa). I also have a mortgage person now and am pre-approved for the home loan. And next week we fly up to look at our top picks of the listings. The puppies don't get to come on this trip but with any luck we will be finding their new home next week and locking it down.
Once we have closed on a house I will likely be moving up first with the pups to get settled and Sean will make trips with all our stuff until he is ready to join me. What a scary and exciting time!
Wish us luck with finding the place that is right for us. Hopefully in just a couple of short months I will be sharing lots of photos of our pups in their new home.
Also on an interesting side note next week's trip to look at homes coincides perfectly with our second wedding anniversary! Last year we went on our honeymoon (delayed by one year) for our anniversary. And this year we will be spending our anniversary finding our new home. It seems like the last three years have been non-stop full steam ahead progress for our life journey. I am hoping that next year there will be a little bit of time to relax and enjoy it all and maybe to get back to my passion project which is a novel I am working on. <3
