Wow how time flies.


Well another week has already gone, and we have had a great one. I really cant believe that June is almost here, where does the time go? This week was a little slow for the business because of memorial day, ( it is so crazy how holidays change the course of the real estate industry) So I (brendan) had a lot of time to get office work done. It also gives me a chance to write this blog.

Tatem and I drove to Portland this weekend but didn't leave until late Saturday afternoon. (good news about leaving so late is traffic was awesome and we made really good time) We had a great weekend with Tatem's family. This trip was a little more exciting that most, because we told the fam about the new addition..............????? I hope this peaks some interest....... I will get back to this announcement in a bit. We went golfing and had a family bbq and just enjoyed our time.

We met with a real estate agent yesterday to start looking for a home, The Seattle area is such an expensive area to live, who would have thought that you would have a really hard time finding a home in the 350,000 price range. Prices are insane and you really don't get a ton of home for it either. Oh well I guess that it is just part of life and we choose it, so now we get to enjoy all of it. We have been looking at some new construction homes and are almost ready to make an offer. But are not really in a rush because we don't want to close until December.

So much more has happened this week, but I have to run so we will probably make and addendum to this message latter.

We hope all is well and would love to hear any comments......so leave us some......

Another Sunny day in Seattle




Well we have decided that we are going to try this blog thing.

Just to get all of you up to speed on our lives. Here is a quick recap. Tatem and I left Rexburg in December of 2005 and moved to Issaquah WA, (it is about 25 min east of Seattle) and opened our Home Inspection business. It has been really exciting, stressful, and not quite as easy as we hoped. Most of all it has been an awesome experience and we are really seeing the benefits of our hard work starting to pay off.

Tatem is still a wonderful Wells Fargo employee, and luckily only works about 10 min away from our house. She cant wait until the day she can quit, but they have awesome insurance coverage so it is hard to say good bye.

Well we hope to make this a weekly update, and will see if we can. We would love to hear from any and all of our friends.

-Brendan and Tatem
