Houses and Condos and Homework, Oh My!

Good news! Phil bought a house and he got a great deal on it! The inspection is all done so now Phil just delivers the moolah to escrow and we wait it out. Closing is no later than June 12th, but Phil goes hiking in California June 11th, so we'll see how that works out. We probably won't get to move in until he gets back about a week later.

House Stats:
  • 4bd/2.5ba
  • built in 2005
  • hdwd floors downstairs
  • 5 pc. master bath (can't wait to use the huge bathtub!)
  • located in Silver Lake (South Everett)
Phil took some video at the inspection yesterday which you can see here:

Can't wait to get in there and redecorate!

So, since I'm moving in with Phil and the market is too sucky to sell my condo at the moment, I'm looking to rent it out. It's 2bd/2ba, hardwood entry, granite countertops, ground floor with fenced yard, in gated community with pool, hottub, billiards room, clubhouse with kitchen, workout facility, basketball court, playground, and close to Boeing and freeway. Pretty much the best condo EVER! If you know of anyone looking to rent, send them my way por favor!

While all of this is going on, I'm trying to finish out the quarter. Just one term paper, an exam, and 2 group projects to go. I'm pretty sure I'll get an A or A- in Project Management and I think I'll probably be able to sweak by with a B or B+ in Finance. No me gusta finance :( Next quarter I'm taking Global Political Economics (I feel this class could go one of two ways -- very interesting, or mind-numbingly boring) and Compensation and Benefits, which is NOT the area of HR I want to specialize in, but SPU isn't offering the classes I DO want to take in the near future, so it'll have to do.

Gonna be a busy summer!

P.S. A girl at work gave me some Friendship bread dough and today was day 10, which means I have 2 loaves of bread I shouldn't eat plus 4 bags of starter dough that I need to give to my friends. Hmmm...which one of you will be the next friendship bread victim?
