We have a signed contract to buy our place for the full asking price! Only two days on the market, can't complain about that.
Kristen and I (and the cats) need to be out of there by June 14th, so we need to find a place soon.

Rapid trip w/ Jacoby!
Kristen and I just made it back from a quick Rapid City trip. Becky, Jason, Jacoby, and Ma were planning on seeing Nono, so we figured it was a good excuse to make the trip again.
Everyone enjoyed Jacoby at West Hills Village. A baby in a retirement center is like catnip for the elderly, or something.
Saturday afternoon five of us headed up to Dinosaur Park, where a quick-footed juvenile Tyrannosaurus nearly made off with Jack. Luckily Jason was fast on his feet, and snatched Jack away before disaster struck.
Later in the day we tried to imagine what Jack will look like once he grows his hair out.
We returned to two lonely cats, and a spruced up house. The "stagers" had worked their magic, leaving us with a place we don't feel very comfortable in. We now have to do things like "pick up", "stay organized", and "use the trash can".
Hopefully the place will sell quickly so we can relax again.

Not much spare time
It seems like it's getting harder to update this thing.
Two weeks ago was Easter weekend. I headed in to work on Saturday for a bit, while Kristen headed to Denver to make some Easter eggs with Maddock and Allison. Later we continued to pack up the house, trying to un-clutter things as much as possible.
Kristen and I saw a movie on Sunday, and took a load or two of boxes to the storage place. It's starting to fill up, we don't have a lot more room in there.
We've started talking to a Realtor, and had a "Stager" come over on Monday to give us some feedback on how to organize and clean up the place. Too many browns and too much white, was the conclusion. They're promising to add "some color", so we'll see how that goes.
We had a few visitors at work for the second half of the week, meaning several nights out with a larger group. Lots of rich food. Kristen and I need to get our running regimen back into action!
Friday we headed to Denver for the Rockies season opener at Coors Field. Jordan had tirelessly watched online for a decent set of tickets, and eventually bought 4 consecutive seats in the lower section. Shortly afterward Katie got 4 free tickets from her office. That saved us some serious cash, and introduced Jordan to fine art of scalping. Luckily no one got stabbed and things turned out OK.
Downtown Denver was crazy. Lots of people out enjoying the 70 degree weather and opening day. We all got a little sunburnt, and had a good time.
The next afternoon we headed to Allison's for Maddock's birthday celebration. I can't say I've seen a more excited four-year-old in a long time.
We're continuing to move stuff out of the house at an alarming rate. We did notice today that the house we were interested in is under contract. Oh well, we'll find another, I'm sure. We have cleaners, furnace people, window people, and the stagers coming back this week, so it ought to be exciting.
