Congrats to Elliot and Colin!

Elliot gets one more tagged mention in our blog. Congrats to Elliot and Colin whose civil partnership ceremony Charles and I attended in England this past weekend. We were too jet lagged to take pictures, but there are some here.

Seattle House Pics

We're no longer in the Netherlands, folks. As of July 14, Charles and I are residents of Seattle. We've found jobs and last week we moved into a house in West Seattle. We bought a tonwhouse on SW Avalon Way which is about a 10 minute bus ride into downtown

I don't have a good picture we took ourselves of the outside, but this is from the builder's web site...



We live in the green unit in the middle of the picture which is the second townhouse. There are four units in total, each with slightly different layouts. Two women live in the unit facing the street and someone just bought the third unit in which is red and cannot really be seen in the photo. The last green unit is still for sale. When you walk in on the ground floor, you see something like this...



In the hallway, you'll see our snazzy new washer and dryer...



We have a guest bedroom for those who might want to come to Seattle and visit (it doubles as a poodle room, but we'll move them to the office if we have guests)...



The guest room opens into a little backyard...



The guest room also has its own bathroom



Next you'll find our bedroom (no bed frame yet)...



The bedroom has a door..



With a porch (we need a little table and 2 chairs maybe)...



And a view of Seattle...



There is also a master bathroom...



Upstairs...



Is the top floor...



Where you'll find our kitchen...



Living area...



With swanky fireplace...



Dining room table...



My office...



A place for poodles to perch...



And a view (you can see our bus stop)...



Just for kicks here is the view the other way...



OK, I know that was a lot, but I like the house. If you want to see the rest the set is here.
