Moving















We finally got a house.It is a miracle that we got the house we did.The two houses we put offers on did not come through.It was very frustrating.When I was in Seattle We went to look at a few houses for fun that were out of our price range.We liked them but thought nothing of it.Last week a Realtor from one of them called and wanted to know if we liked the house.Chase told her we loved it,it was the nicest house we have seen but to be honest it is way out of our price range.She asked what our price was he told her and she said she would run it by her clients.She called back on Saturday,to tell us that they excepted the offer.We were both in shock it is a huge difference from what they were asking.In fact we are paying less than if we got one of those other two houses which were not as nice as this one.It is a miracle.It amazes me how things work out.We are still planning on moving in on the first,so we will be moving out the last week of September.It is such a relief to finally be going to live with Chase and to have some where to live.The house is in Isaqua.I don't have to many pictures because I didn't think it was possible that we would get it, so the realtor sent me a few.

I wish that it was me getting out of here and going somewhere new. That looks so perfect Ali. And the trees out the window, it is going to be so perfect there. I am so jealous!! I am so excited for you. That is so awesome. I think you are going to love it there. I wish AZ was pretty!!!! It would be so nice to have beautiful scenery outside. I often wonder why I am still living here.

Congratulations - that is so wonderful! Isn't it amazing how these things just work out when you press forward? Good for you guys! BTW - you're going to love Issaquah - my BIL used to live on Tiger Mountain. I have to tell you, secretly, I AM SO JEALOUS! I wish we could move back to Washington! ;)

The first thing I noticed was the beautiful kitchen and the appliances! Then the green lush trees out all the windows. We will miss you guys, especially James missing Chase. They are such good friends. But they can keep intouch through emailing and blogging. It looks perfect and I am so happy your family will be together again. There is nothing worse than being without your man. We did it for 6 weeks when we moved back to AZ from Utah. I bet you are thinking... 6 weeks that is nothing. Happy for your family.

I think the house is so nice and with your decorating talent it will look so nice. You will have to take pictures and show it off when you move in! It was fun getting together yesterday. We need to do it again soon! thanks for setting it up!

Anne said...

What a score, the house is beautiful and Issaquah is wonderful!! That is where we stayed last year for those few months. Honestly, that is right where i would want to move if I went back. How far will you be from the Temple? No doubt that place will be even prettier with your touch. Have fun with it, it's an adventure for sure! You'll have to keep in touch!

Sarah Hawkins said...

Thanks again for ALL of your help on Saturday, I know that you and your kids worked do hard, thank-you!

Jess said...

Ali your new house is gorgeous! It will be even better once you give it the Ali magic touch with your decorating!!!

Katie said...

It's a beautiful house. I love it. I'm glad you get to be with Chase again. That had to have sucked to be away for so long from each other.

Cheryl said...

The house is gorgeous, Ali! Can't wait to see the pictures after you put your touches on it! BTW... our blog is whatmakesusstronger.blogspot.com. As in... what doesn't kill us! Remember, if you need to catch a few shows on Thursday, we'll be happy to oblige. Good luck!

Gorgeous, Ali! So glad things have worked out for your family. You have amazed me all these months that you've been a "single" mom of 7 without Chase. I'm sure you are loving being all together again. We miss you & your family already! Enjoy your new adventure. We'll save a space for you here:-)

We missed you guys at Emmett's birthday party tonight! Hope things are going well getting settled. We heard the boys went for a nature walk and got to eat wild blackberries. We are completely jealous.
Love and miss you guys!
