Changes
29 Jun
It’s been a whirlwind three plus months. My apologies to regular readers for the lack of recent posts. A recap is in order as to what exactly I have been up to. March 15, 2010 or so my wife and I decided to launch a hastily planned attempt to buy our first home. We went down this same route in 2004 and abandoned ship when it became clear that the housing market was awash with over priced homes. Invigorated by the thought of an $8,000 federal tax tax credit that would apply only if we could get under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010 we charged forward forcefully. After a lot of looking, researching, showings and a few false starts we found a great house in Broomfield, CO and closed May 13, 2010 and moved in May 15.
To complicate matters I started a new job April 19 at OceansideTen Management, Inc. as a software developer/engineer. Since the move in it’s been an endless list of to-dos and odd jobs around the house. Last weekend Heather and I drove back to Missouri Valley, Iowa and drove back a U-Haul trailer full of furniture she had been storing at her mom’s house. Her mom came with and spent the week helping get things in order here. What a blessing! We capped off her visit with a drive up to Estes Park and a hike from Bear Lake to Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.
I am looking forward to more outdoor trips this summer now that things are stabilizing at the new home front.
