The Haps

A House, A Home, A piece of Seattle

Well, many of you know...Bobby and I bought a house in the hotspot neighborhood of Madrona, Seattle about a month ago. It was a roller coaster if you want to know the truth. Bob is in real estate (Mortgage Wholesale) and he knew what he was doing all along. However, to the untrained real estate newbie, it was torture to hear the back and forth of "our side" and the "other side" and the "middle men" and all the like. I just wanted to punch out the builder, slap the selling agent and then cry on a pillow. E - MO - TION - ALLLLL! But it all worked out. I was a mess and Bob was totally calm. He knew that things would work out. I, on the other hand, kept from working out by eating a lot of french fries and pizza.

We moved in mid-September and went right to work welcoming Bobby's sister and brother-in-law into town. They hadn't been to Seattle. They loved it. Like all ya do that come out to visit.

It's been a new experience for me, I have to say. Duh. But truly, I must say I am better for the challenge. A challenge it is! The puppies love the house. They think they are so bad ass. They walk around like they own the place and their other daddy spoils them so much that it's easy to know why!!

We have a few things here and there to consider. Our landscape project begins this Tuesday (HOLY CRAP!) and the final project should be pretty great. We have to paint and there are those other odds and ends that need tying up. Once through, this cute house on one of the greatest corners in Seattle will be just the fit we were looking for.

Bobby's sister and brother-in-law are not the only to visit thus far and they will certainly not be the last. Again, all are welcome here and all are invited, often! Hope to see many of you, if not all, soon.
