Who knew that our next move was to the Palm Springs of Washington! We didn't. Until we saw the sign. The end of January may not be the best time to visit Yakima. But it was the time we had. Just a few short days to find a house that will accommodate a grand piano and 6 growing children. No easy task. But look at one option. It even has an above ground pool. Reed actually showed these photos to the kids, telling them it was the house we were hoping to buy. Caitlin immediately broke into gut-busting laughter. Alaina's jaw dropped. "You like this house, Dad? Do you really like it?" She was completely dumb-founded and awfully calm. Usually she has a lot to say. Never afraid to express her feelings. She simply declared that she did not like the house.
After several grueling days we found a house that we could see ourselves living in. It's 4500 square feet, 5 bed, 3.5 bath on 1.6 acres. It could use a new kitchen and master bath and we'll eventually get to those. The lot is completely landscaped with mature trees and plenty of lawn. Great for the kids. Connor is now talking about a riding mower. One of his dreams for the past couple of years. He also wants to split wood and since this house has 3 fireplaces his wish could come true. We put in an offer yesterday and are waiting to hear. Hopefully it all works out. Because there isn't much of a choice if this one doesn't work.
