We had some pretty limited options when we moved here as far as housing goes. We looked all over the Seattle metro and when we finally focused in on the area we wanted, we had two options. Literally two. On the same street. It's a small town and with summer coming to an end, rentals were scarce. One house was small and one house was big. The small house had better finishes but it wouldn't have ...

We thought it’d give us time to say last minute goodbyes but really it just pushed everything back and didn’t give us much time to settle in once we got here. Where’s here? A swanky new apartment complex. We would have loved it in our non-kids day. Now, we have all 5 of us crammed into ...
