Well our trip to Colorado was fast, furious, and a success! Loren and I left last Sunday morning and spent the day driving around to preview the houses we were scheduled to look at Monday. I must say having a navigation device in our vehicle was WONDERFUL!! I have a feeling that will become my best friend for the first 6 months after we move. Anyway, after a not so pleasant first night in a bad motel, we met with our real estate agent at 8:30 and began our search for our new home. We proceeded to look at 13 or 14 houses that morning and narrowed it down to 3. We went back to those 3 later Monday afternoon and then spent the evening pondering...and pondering....We ended up looking back thru our list of "maybes" and found 6 more houses we thought we should take a look at before making our decision.
So, Tuesday morning came and off we went again. Still nothing that just blew us away. The one house that we both really liked was a new construction in Loveland. Only problem was it had a very small garage and no extra room outside. The builder just happened to be at the house next door so we got to chatting and he mentioned that he is going to be starting another house on a BIG lot in Windsor with a BIG garage. We were sold and signed on the dotted line. The house won't be completed until the end of December so we very well could be homeless for a few weeks (trying not to focus on that right now). Of course we wish the house could be done sooner...more like yesterday...but we're excited!
