I did it!

Hooray! I put an offer on a condo, and things seem to be moving forward. This past weekend was probably the most hectic, crazy, stressful weekend I've had in a while, but the outcome was good. After 3 full days of looking with the real estate agent I was able to settle on something. The condo is 2 stories, with a full unfinished basement, and it has 3 bedrooms. Its about 5 miles from the University, further than the one block that I was used to in Salt Lake, but its in a nice neighborhood with some running trails nearby. We got a good price on the place. Unlike Anchorage where you have to offer at least $5000 above the list price, we were able to settle a few thousand below it. I'll most likely have to get a roommate to help me cover some of the costs but there will be plenty of room for two of us.
Here are some pictures...

And did I mention that the building that I will be working in at the University is called the Butterdome? Here's why:

Its much more yellow in real life, maybe to keep us happy in the winter?

Interesting! I guess our summer activities aren't quite as exciting and fun. We spent several days meeting with a pre-need counselor at a beautiful place called Restland that we are putting in charge of our final services. Then we ordered a companion and four keepsake urns,(one for each child) multihued blue with silhouettes of humming birds and flowers, for our ashes. I told you it wasn't very exciting but satisfying for us to make these decisions. We love your condo. If we can work out plans with everyone for a trip to Banff in December maybe we'll get to see it. Granpa looked at the wedding picture and said you clean up good!
