I have a House!!

Friday, June 1st: Well, the big excitement this weekend is that I put an offer on a house and they accepted! Although I was hoping to have a contract on my condo in Simi before making an offer, when you find pretty much the perfect house for you and there is another offer on the table (and the house has been in and out of contract twice in the past 20 days) you throw caution to the wind and jump in feet first!But here is what really sucked me in... I have a panoramic view from about the Flatirons to about Longs Peak and the photo does not do it justice so you will just have to come out and have a look for yourself! Lots of BBQing on the deck this summer!




And the house is pretty darn cool too. It has a full, unifinished walk-out basement and I plan to design a nice rec room. The kitchen is nice and open and the house is on a little over a quarter acre with a great backyard. Alex ~ I hear you already Google-Earth'd it :) I'm about 2 miles from the lake, 3 miles from work and in a nice golf course community. Mom & Dad need to come out and help me put in my garden :)






Saturday, June 2nd: With all the craziness with the house and getting a lot of the paperwork going, I decided to not go camping. But, I couldn't just sit around and not go exploring ~ I went north into Fort Collins and then followed the Cache le Poudre river into the canyon.
















There were lots of rafters and kayakers...I am definitely signing up for a rafting trip this summer! Emily, Alex, Steph ~ remember when we went rafting in Wyoming??


I then went to Horesetooth Resevior to check out the lake and the camping. I will probably go camping here next weekend so I will save pictures until then.





Well, until next time: Happy Trails!!
