http://www.goldenwavecreations.com/zodiac_monkey.asp I can't believe how dead on this horoscope is so far this year....Wow! It being correct gives me a lot of hope my choices will be rewarded heavily! I thought it belonged here since this is our big endeavor this year. Here is Tim's http://www.goldenwavecreations.com/zodiac_dragon.asp Also appropriate...

Views!

Our project manager just informed us tonight that our house has an excellent view of Mt. Rainier from our 3rd floor loft! We can't believe our luck! He says it is the best view in the neighborhood! I will post pics as soon as we can.

Went by Shamrock...

We went by Shamrock Heights yesterday after we were done with our very exhausting and overwhelming appointment to pick colors and tile and such. The place has another story framed. So exciting! The stairs are in so I was able to walk up there. It looks awesome already!! As we drove into the neighborhood on a sunny but very chilly day there were at least 5 kids Kaia and Jaeda's ages playing at the park!! Many parents standing around talking. It was 4 in the afternoon. I can't say enough how much I love the neighborly feel! Will post new pictures soon...

Glass Subway

We have chosen a subway tile that looks like the darker blue in this picture.

Trees that are good near wetlands...

Japanese Magnolia Curly Willow Weeping Pussy Willow Dawn Redwood

My tree of life backsplash...to go above stove

Actually way more of a coppery color...no purple tones.

My purple countertops :)

These are the counter tops I am getting. I love it and can't wait!

kitchen cabinets

This is just for my own reference..

Week 4 continued...

Our project manager just contacted us and it looks like we will possibly be able to move up our closing date to June 12th! That is great as we will then probably be able to have Jaeda's birthday there. We went and showed Lily, George and Cara our place yesterday. As usual there were many neighbors out and about so we got to meet another family in the cul de sac. The husband Craig is a Principal at a school on Mercer Island. They have two boys one 5 who goes to Apollo Elementary up the road and loves it, and a almost 3 year old who stays home with Craig's wife who we havn't met yet. That was another thing that I thought was great was that we have seen many dad's out taking their kids to the park or out on their bikes. I love that!
