Crazy day
Yesterday was an interesting day. Work was not all that eventful and we left later then I was hoping. The plan was to go home, get the dogs, stop by the house, take the dogs to the Marymoor dog park to get all their energy out, grab some food, and go swimming with our friends in Issaquah.
In actuality when we got home the builder called and asked if we could come by the house because he had some questions. It was perfect timing because we had just gotten home and we were about to throw the dogs in the car and head to the house anyways. We ended up being at the house for over an hour talking with the builder and going over a few things. All in all it was perfect because we hadn't both been at the house at the same time in a while, so we were both able to go over a few things that were better to be on-site to talk about. Progress is picking up. They are starting to grade the driveway and have partially leveled out the back yard. He has a better idea now of how the driveway will work and he even decided to put in a turn around pad at the top of the driveway next to the stairs against the embankment. This is excellent, because we were talking about asking him if this was possible, but it was HIS idea...so that means it doesn't cost extra! :) He said drywalling should start early next week, so I am thinking either late next week or early the week after... :)
Due to the time we spent there through the sunset, of course it was almost dark by the time we got to the dog park. Needless to say, the dogs didn't get as much energy out as we had hopped. We went from there to Whole Foods to get a few more items off of our list. We went in a different way then we usually do and this is where they day gets even weirder. I ran into a good friend and her husband that I knew from college! Now mind you college, PLNU, was over 1300+ miles away in perpetually sunny San Diego, CA. So I was very shocked to say the least. She was a Physics major, so we both spent a lot of time in the same building (Science Building) since I was a CS major. Plus her husband was the room-mate of another CS major that I graduated with (all 3 of us that year). They are living up here now (after being in many different places around the US) and what is even more funny is that they live about 5 minutes from where our new house is. Weird. Now, I do have to disclose one thing...she grew up on Camano Island, so the chances of seeing her up here are greater then your average Joe, but still. Very awesome. We got their number and hope to connect up soon. YAY! More friends! :)

The Great Thaw
It seems that we are thawing out up here in Narnia...errr...I mean Issaquah.
Not that I am complaining about the 3rd snow storm in two months with over 10in. in Issaquah that lasted for over a week. :) I love the snow!
Hopefully this means that progress on the house should pick up. We'll see.
Current date from builder: March 1st, I am thinking April or May.
Anyways, back to work.
