House Hunting- Again?

Oh my goodness, it sure has been awhile since I last posted. As you can imagine, things are pretty hectic in the SE household right now. We're wrapping up our jobs in Nashville, putting the house on the market, packing to move across the country, and preparing for our new jobs in Colorado. Yikes, mama!

Our schedule for next week is packing/loading with movers on Tuesday & Wednesday, and on Thursday & Friday we're making the two day drive to Denver. Lucky for us, my sweet cousins (parents to our adorable flower girl) live in Kansas City and are letting us crash with them for a night! Apologies in advance for our two crazy dogs. We were supposed to move this week, but Mr. SE needed to finish out FY'11 on his current team before heading to the new office. We're thankful for the move because it bought us another week to find a place.

So where are we living? Oh, we still don't know. Yep, that's right. We're heading to Denver and don't have a place to live. Lucy for us (again) Mr. SE's aunt and uncle live in Denver and are letting us stay with them for a couple of nights until we find a place. Also, dealing with the concept of downsizing is hard! Props to those of you who have gone through this before. We're going from a 3 bed/2 bath that we own to a 700-900 sq foot apartment. It's definitely going to be a change, but something that we're super excited about.

hopefully the apartment isn't this small!

Once our house in Nashville is sold we'll be able to look into purchasing another home in Denver. I'm looking forward to the chain of events, since we'll have time to learn which areas of the city fit our lifestyle the best. The rent prices are kind of freaking me out, but that's what happens when you move to a bigger city. We're a little spoiled with home prices in Nashville, but I guess it could be worse if I still lived in DC?
