Anyone want an update???

A lot has happened since i last blogged. Where do i begin?? We put our cute little house up for sale, I don't recommend doing this while 36 weeks pregnant! Luckily it is now under contract and i am DONE having to show it everyday...that was stressful with a toddler that can manage to destroy a clean house in a matter of minutes! We didn't exactly know where we were going to move...just knew we needed a bigger place and suddenly Brian was taking an awesome job in Seattle!!!

That's right, the Baker's are off to the beautiful state of Washington! We are sooo excited for this new adventure. The craziest part is that i am having a baby in the middle of all this. HELP!!! We are supposed to close on our house mid June...and crossing my fingers that nothing falls through with that! Brian will start training and working here and take a few trips to Seattle before we all move for good around the end of June! We will rent for a bit so that we can explore all the many areas there are to live. If anyone has any good info about Seattle, fill me in!
We are going to miss our friends and family so much! Hopefully this will motivate me to be a better blogger to keep our peeps updated on our adventures. Of course, we are expecting many frequent visitors...there is so much to do and see there. I can't wait to be your personal tour guide:)
All this excitement has definately been a distraction on the "fun" last few weeks of pregnancy. May has finally arrived and it's baby time! It's so nice being able to say "i'm due THIS month"...even if it is at the END of the month!

Holy cow, a lot has happened! That's all exciting news! My brother lived in Kirkland and pretty sure he liked the area quite a bit. I'll talk to him and let you know what he says.
Good luck with everything!

Wow, that is awesome! I hope everything goes well with the sale and move, and of course the baby! I've only been to Seattle once but, I loved it! Good Luck!!

Oh Kate! We moved to Park City when I was 38 weeks pregnant with Ruby. Hopefully, baby boy will be really easy and it will all be fine. The best thing about it is you really don't have to lift a finger when you are prego and have a newborn. So, I don't know what your price point is, but Kirkland is awesome, so is Woodinville. You should get in touch with Joie...do you know her? She went to USU and lives in Seattle. We have a house for sale there, but it's on a busy street that would not be great with kiddos. Good Luck with everything!!

Kate!! We are so excited you are moving up to the great northwest!!! You guys are going to LOVE it here. We live about 45 minutes south of Seattle and love the area. We are close enough to the city but live a country life. It is great. If you want to give me a call to discuss places to live, feel free. #253-736-4548. Hope you hear from you and good luck with everything going on. Ps. If Brian ever needs a place to stay while he is here, my parents have a few extra rooms!
