Knock on Wood

Dusty hopped in the car trunk a couple of years ago, I think he might like our news!
Well, we went to see the duplex.  It was lovely.  Two bedrooms, wood floors, great windows and light, a garage/work shop for Chris, a laundry room with extra storage, a separate dining room and living room, and the owners allow dogs.  The neighbors are a German tech couple - really friendly and nice.  The place ticked off all our wants, except no dishwasher, and the location and price were way too good to pass up.  Luckily the landlords are very picky and they liked us!  
So.... it's ours.  We'll be meeting to sign the lease next weekend and moving in over the next month.  Can't wait to have dusty come live with us finally - Mountain View here we come!

Hunting

Chris started the apt/house hunt again - I randomly got craigslist posts e-mailed to me by him earlier this week.  We talked and I agreed that we do need to move for Chris to have some work space for school projects and his new radio repair shop.  We have been off and on hunting for the past three years and each time I have obsessed over craigslist, gotten way too emotional, and then given up in disappointment.  Chris and I made a deal earlier this week, I requested that I be banned from craigslist and any other real-easate rental sites - but that I would happily go look at his finds.  It's worked pretty well this week, except for my stress out tonight over dinner - bless my patient, caring husband.  We have a dog friendly duplex to look at on Saturday - wish us luck (and me sanity).

9 Years


9 years ago tonight I was getting ready to go to my roommates birthday party in SF.  I must have known something big would happen that night because I just couldn't choose between two outfits - I switched back and forth about 20x before deciding.  I walked into the restaurant, sat down at the opposite end of the table as Chris, and my life changed forever.  He is my sweetheart, my soul mate, my best friend.  I love you Chris!
