The Move

We live in a tiny town north of Denver, and David works in Lakewood (60 miles away). He got the job the same weekend that we closed on this house. So, David has been spending three hours a day commuting for almost a year and a half. For the last couple of months, we've been talking about putting the house on the market "just to see what happens." Then, at the beginning of last month we decided to just go for it. We put the house on the market on a Monday afternoon, and by Saturday our house was under contract. Yep, our house went under contract in five days. Here are some of the listing pictures.

We close on September 18th, less than two weeks away. We've been looking at homes in the Denver area, but we haven't found anything to put an offer in on. So, we decided to look for an apartment to stay in until we find the right house. One day a coworker of David's told us about a complex he liked living in that was around the corner from David's work. Within the next few days, and just casually looking at apartments on Craigslist, David found a lady who needed someone to take over her lease of her 3 bedroom apartment in that complex until her lease ends at the end of November. On top of that, she had negotiated for cheaper rent, which would carry over to us.

I can't help but feel like we must be doing what is right for us, or we wouldn't be blessed with everything running so smoothly for us to move. We still have to find our next house, and that makes me a bit nervous, but if things have been going so well for us so far, I think things will continue to work out. Until then, we'll just enjoy having David around more, thanks to his new three minute commute.
