Will you be our neighbour?

Well the exciting time for us continuing... Dave and I made an offer on a house in Zillah yesterday and found out today it was accepted. We are very very excited, and now its on to the home inspection. The house met all of our criteria and was within our budget so we really hope the inspection and FHA Appraisal go well. Here are a few shots of the house.

The kitchen has a really neat island and a spot to hang vino glasses.

The bathroom is in great condition, but we don't think the baby blue walls will match our bathroom accessories, so it may need to go.

Dave loves the freestanding garage... we will need to put a new garage door on though.

Its a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath which we plan to renovate the 1/2 bath back into a 3/4 bath by putting in a shower stall, it already has the pipes and stuff. The upstairs has the living/dining, main bath, kitchen and master bedroom. The downstairs features an awesome den, large laundry/pantry room, 2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bath. It has a completely fenced in yard as well.

Lets hope the appraisal and inspection pass, as this is the perfect Zillah home for us!

Jail Issue Underwear

Well I am about to begin Day 3 of my new career adventure. Days 1 and 2 were eventful but enjoyable and I learned a lot. I do think I am going to enjoy working for Wapato PD.

One of the things I learnt yesterday was the use of jail issue underwear.

Officer Sperle, our K9 Officer, came in and asked me for a new Criminal Citation book. No one was available so I started poking around attempting to locate the books with Sperle's assistance. A white cloth fell from one of the shelves in my area during the search and as I bent to pick it up discovered it was a LARGE pair of underwear. I asked (shocked) "shouldn't these be in the evidence room?" and Sperle told me I was responsible for them, since they were in my space.

On the floor they stayed as I grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer and waited for Nona to get off the phone and offer an explanation for them.

As I pointed at the offending underwear Nona started to laugh and through her laughter she explained these were jail issue underwear that were never used as such, but made handy dusting clothes, and each person in our office had one.

P.S. Do not call them "panties", as panties and moist are banned words in this office. I can't wait to see what today brings.
