We're BIG Kids!!!

CATCH-UP:
  1. We were denied for business school this year (crazy amounts of people wanting to go back to school because of the economy made it really hard to get in.)
  2. Our contract ends on the 26th. However, we had to give management 30 days notice before moving (which we were unsure of) so we have to pay mega rent until June 13th.
  3. Rex got the OK to transfer to Denver. He has a lot of family out there and Denver is much closer to Oklahoma as well.
  4. Rex called me Friday afternoon to tell me that he's booked two tickets for us to fly down to Denver in less than 12 hours.
  5. We stayed with Rex's family and house hunted all last week.
  6. And... WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!
Here are the specs:
  • 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms
  • 2,000 square feet (PLUS 1,000 sq. ft basement!!!)
  • In a beautiful, new community with a great school district, close-by parks, and a nice country feel to it.
  • Built in 2005
  • All appliances included (except the washer/dryer)
  • Unfinished basement with rough-in for a bathroom. (Rex is already making plans on how to get his home theater down there, along with a craft room for me!)
  • Here is the link to the pictures (mine aren't very good, and only intended for decorating references later on for me): www.obeo.com/525932





This is the view from our backyard. We're going to take the rocks out and add grass. There's a hold on the land so we'll have this beautiful view for a few years!



The steps are a bit scary for me, but we'll put baby guards on them until the boys are big enough.



The living room and view from the front door. The kitchen is off to the left. (Once again, not the best or complete set of pictures here. See the website: www.obeo.com/525932)


The dining room to the right of the living room, although I'm thinking about making this into a play area for the boys since we don't have a dining room table...



The stairs leading down to the basement. The house is at the top of a hill, so the basement actually leads out to the backyard.

Yay! I'm really excited for you. I loved the Denver area when Spencer was on a project there. Where is it exactly? And what a lovely home. How fun. Every week that goes by I pine more and more for the day when we buy a home of our own in a community that we want to be in... sigh.

Very cool! Congrats! My sister lives in Fort Collins, so if we ever make it that way, maybe we'll have to make a side trip!
