2010 --- A Recap

Whew... 2010 came and went, and I really didn't do well at posting. In an attempt not to forget our year, here are the highlights of 2010. Probably the number one memorable event was the selling of our first home and looking, looking, looking, then buying of our second home. In May, we listed our house and after only 8 days we had an offer and a contract on our home. We were beyond thrilled, and of course a little sad. After all, this was our first house, and I will always love that house!! Only 3 short weeks after the offer, we boxed all our belongings up and sent them to storage, and said goodbye to 3857 Gillespie Drive. Since the sale was relatively quick, we had not yet found the perfect house to move into. So we moved into here for the summer.....
Not kidding.... We decided that it would be the cheapest and easiest thing to do. Our stuff was already in storage and since I had the summer off, renting a spot at the lake was a great option. And truth be told, it wasn't too bad, for the first 3 weeks. Then... the temperature soared into the 100's and the trailer just couldn't keep up with it. Plus, having a very energized 2.5 year old cooped inside a small space isn't the most ideal option. SO... after about 5 weeks of living at the lake we called it quits. And just when we thought we would never find the right house for us we found.....
3400 Snowmass Lane.... love at first sight. Of course, Will wasn't able to come with me to look at the first time, but I was certain that this was home. We did all the necessary offering...contracting... signing... and a week before school started we moved in. Ahhhhh. A great feeling it is to be home.
