5pm & all is well!

at around evening time on Sunday, the 19th of December 2004 by Tina

It was 5:01pm on the nose (mountain time) that we crossed the colorado border.. irony folks is I was born at 5:01pm (april 29th) but how ever so cool.. born at 5:01pm only start my life fresh and new in Colorado at the same time..

Things happen for a reason, something all who know me hear me say over and over, it is my motto, my mantra, my life.. this is how i believe whole heartedly. Though our trek west had been delayed slightly, due to my health more then anything.. all could not have fallen into place better.

Timing of selling our home gave us the top dollar in our development (aside from the the southwoods section, and those homes are MUCH larger, so they don’t count)… To sell in just 2 days, to have the packing and moving go so well.. sure there were issues with the staff who did not show, but those who did, did a great and quick job for what its worth. Chad leaving his job went smoothly, with no crap from those he worked for.. each and every step has been beyond belief!

My realtor who had just bought a new construction home, and letting us rent it till we decide on a home to purchase.. and there is no rush, just making another step as easy as it can be.

There was fear of storms, snow storms, while we headed west.. i kept an eye on the weather and i thought we would be fine.. and yep we was.. After we left Illinois and Indiana.. they were hit and hit hard the next day.. roads have been closed in Indiana because the plows can not clear them quick enough. Now we have reached Colorado with flawless weather, and clear driving all the way out.. dreamy really.. we reached the border and making a sleep over in Burlington.. before we reach the house we are renting in Colorado Springs tomorrow (Monday)..

Tuesday the STUFF comes.. chad frets it won’t all fit in the house, i figure what does not fit in the garage and other 2 rooms we will just take to a storage unit if we must.. things have progressed so beautifully that is just not even a thought for me!

I am blown away.. yes it was hard to leave the house we llived in for 5 1/2 years, it was hard to leave friends and Chad’s family.. I will miss them, but DE was killing me, and there was nothing there that we wanted there that was not movable (hint hint folks)..

I still have my fingers crossed about a home i want, we shall see.. details to come! Ciao ALL!
