Almost 2 months since we've moved!

Things are going pretty ok around here. Still living with Rich and Rachel in Bellevue. Thankfully though because Rachel has saved our butts a few times watching Mav while I worked and Dan was out of town.
Our new jobs are going well. I'm off orientation and have had a couple really good and busy nights on my own. Everyone for the most part is nice and helpful. Although my commute to work is during rush hour and traffic both ways- not fun! Dan is doing very well, as always and is a big asset to the company. Which unexpectedly very recently got bought out. So there are some major changes happening with his job. Thankfully though, they have told him many times that they value him greatly- that's how we'll he's doing. As I knew he would.
We still haven't sold our house :(. It's been on the market since Thanksgiving. It's been very frustrating. Especially since we've had a total of 4 official offers that have fallen through either because in the end they don't have the financing or they walk away from our counter offer because everyone wants it basically for free. And we've put way too much into updating it to just give it away. We are trying to stay optimistic however.
Then finally, I'm sure everyone is wondering how Maverick is doing. He is the light of our life. He will be 10 months in 10 days. He is crawling all over and always trying to get into things he can't, since we live in such a child proof place here! He has a standing push toy that he is walking around with and I'm sure next month he'll be walking in no time- aaaahhhh!!!!!! We go for walks with Onyx regularly as the whether has been getting nicer. Mav loves riding in the stroller and watching Onyx play ball.
I had a wonderful 1st mother's day. Mav made me a picture at his YMCA day care that he attends 2-3 days a week. We had a picnic at the park and stayed there playin with Onyx and relaxing. Then Dan made me one of my favorite dinners. It was a great day!
Both sides of the grandparents have come to visit so far. We have a great aunt (grandpa Spurgeon's niece, Jeanette) also that lives up north about 20 mins away and she's helped out a few times too. We can't wait to head back to Spokane the weekend of June 2nd for Dan's lil. bro. Devon's graduation and to see everyone. It will be a very busy weekend I'm sure.
Well that's about it so far with what's going on here. I'll continue to keep updates every now and again. Miss you all!
