Quickest Post of All Time

Some of you know this and some of you don't, but here is a very brief update:

1. We have tenants for our house here. They signed a 2 year lease which I am thrilled about. I am even more thrilled-er that I don't have to show the house anymore, because keeping it appealing while trying to move is impossible.

2. We are 87% sure we have a practice. That first one fell apart (well, we pulled the plug actually) but we found a better one and our offer has been accepted and the bank agreed to pay for it this week. There are still many details, and I am super cautious about saying "Done Deal!" until we have actually closed, but things look good.

3. We still have nowhere to live once we get to Colorado. Details, details. We want to rent for a year or two while we adjust to owning a business and decide for sure where we want to plunk down for the rest of our kids' school years. The problem is that most of the homes that are listed right now are looking for late May/June move-ins, and we will be bouncing all over Utah and Idaho until July. So most homes that would work with our timeline aren't even listed yet and most likely won't be until after we leave here. So that's LOADS of fun! I just love how calm and happy I feel when I think about driving away from here and being homeless.

So yeah, things are hectic. But when I take a deep breath and quit obsessing over all my to-do lists.......oh wait.......I may or may not have been able to do either of those things the last 10 days or so.

Nevermind.

I am 87% THRILLED for you! Good luck working out all the details. I have been thinking about you guys a lot. So, my question is, while you're bouncing around UT and ID for a couple of months, how can we stay in touch???

Good things are in store for you! I can't wait to hear about your new practice, home, life, etc etc etc. Yay!

Hey Colie,

Memorial Day is perfect! We don't have any plans yet and I forgot Jeb will be home and everything. We can hang out at the park and just chill...whatever! Of course I know this is if you get the housing worked out, etc. We don't mind being up in the air :).
Yes, our house is a Beazer Chapparel! As you know, I bought it for the kitchen. It is a perfect layout for a family with kids (I think). I hope you find a house you love and can stay in (when you decide to buy of course)! Good luck...you can relax soon...in a few short months. Keep in touch, Becca

At least you're not driving across the U.S. and then driving back in a few weeks, and then out again.....and then back again. Oh, and you're not in Texas. That's definately something to be grateful for. ;)

Remember when we drove away from Federal Way homeless and without a clue about where we would live? Heavenly Father will be with you and will lead you to where you need to go. Perhaps there is a Faye Metcalf in Denver praying you into her neighborhood! Press forward in faith!

Hi Nicole. I stumbled on your blog while getting my weekly fix on "Seriously so Blessed." I live in the greater Denver area (south of the city) and would be happy to point you in the right direction as far as where to live, schools, etc. If you want information, my e-mail is: lisacroc@gmail.com

Sounds like you're getting ready for a great new life chapter.
