Decisions, decisions…

Decisions, decisions…

We made a decision. We chose House number one. We made an offer Friday before we left town. It was really pretty crazy how fast things moved. We left the appointment with the realtor, went to the two bedroom apartment above Whole Foods, and then to lunch, where we had a burger and a beer, … Continue reading →

Omigosh, we’re moving to Portland!

Yarn Along: Quick Knit Hat

Yarn Along: Quick Knit Hat

We went on a drive yesterday, so I worked on a new hat. I’m hoping to get it done today so I can wear it tomorrow when it’s supposed to be cold. The yarn I’m using is by Malabrigo and the color is lettuce. It reminds me of a springy moss color. So far I’m … Continue reading →
