We were both born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. But love to travel and have done so a lot. When this job opportunity to Washington DC came up, it took about 30 seconds of discussion to decide we couldn’t turn down the experience. Our goal and hope is to still get to Europe, but seeing so much of our own Country’s history is just as exciting. As we drive thru the Cascades on our drive east, I look at our beautiful state with different eyes, and it really makes me realize how lucky we are to have grown up here.

In February 2019, in 2 feet of snow, we took lots of walks and had lots of talks about how we could take advantage of oppurtunities that were out there. That was when we decided it was time to sell the house so we wouldn’t be tied to it if we got the chance to “go”. Not to long after we made that decision a job offer came in…. one thing after another…. everything started to fall into place.

The house sold in 3 days for a full price offer. We downsized, sold most everything and packed Jabba in the car. It wasn’t without a lot of stress, but so far it is all working out. And NO, we don’t have a place to live. Driving across the country and winging it.
