SpotDarby: What is it like being married to Darby?
Christian: She is amazing. When I first started meeting friends and acquaintances of hers, they all said the same thing over and over, "she is amazing" and "I have never met anyone like her." Obviously, a guy like me who was looking for a special woman is going to get it. It really backed up what I thought, she is amazing, special and there is no one quite like her. Now that I am married to her, life has been busy beyond belief, from her extremely stressful job to my not so less stressful job at times to raising two kids and starting a family again. It has been crazy but there has also been so much good, so much happy that was not here without her. I know she doesn't see it, as she was not here for the time I didn't have a wife and the kids did not have a mom but we appreciate her immensely and love her here. She is an animal when it comes to getting things done. I cannot believe the stress she has worked under and still keeps on going trying to come out the other side with at least her pride. She is inspiring to me as well in the way she keeps it all together, from general contractor to mother to wife to lover to athlete, she really gets it all done somehow. And after a crazy busy day, and all that has gone on, as we are going to bed she becomes one of the giggliest women you have ever met. Her smiles and giggles make it all worth it.
SpotDarby: What do you love most about Darby?
Christian: When she smiles at me and in her eyes I can see that she absolutely adores me and being in love with me.
SpotDarby: What amazes you about Darby?
Christian: Some more amazing things about her are her athletic abilities. I am no slouch but have to pedal my butt off to keep up with her on the road. Sometimes I think she would work out 24/7 if she had the time.
SpotDarby: Can you share something bizarre about her?
Christian: Her calves are bizarrely big, I get to see them a lot as I am trying to keep up on the bike. They would win any body-building competition, hands down, no sweat.
SpotDarby: Any surprises from Darby after the wedding?
Christian: She thought she was going to done building and quickly moving on selling her multitude of townhomes by March or April of 2008 and could move on to her new life with us in Centralia. Here we are a year later. Oh yeah, another big surprise, she likes to have cats sleep in the same bed as her, now that is a problem!
Blood in the Water
Only 27 years old and fresh out of veterinary school, Darby started out with her first home in Wallingford. With a little help from how-to books and several seminars at The Home Depot, she was off. Darby turned her "hobby" into Lippincott Construction and has since built more than 60 homes in Seattle, becoming one of the largest woman-owned construction firms in the state.
However, Darby met a man who needed a wife, and two kids who needed a mom. Her passions were now in a new direction.Darby decided to retire her building career, move south to Centralia, and become a new mom. It just so happened, the economy decided to move south as well. With just a handful of properties left to sell, the market turned ugly and has turned Darby into bait for greedy sharks looking for opportunity at her expense.This blog is our way of showing solidarity with Darby. A simple platform to turn pain into hope, and stress into random chances of joy and chaos. From neighboorhood block parties, hollywood-type reveals, viral videos, combined with several public assaults of redheads, we hope to humanize Darby to the sharks, remind the others of the person behind the home, as well as make clear - there is no better time to buy a home.
