November 2011, we got the news that Matt's work is relocating him to Denver, Colorado!! I was super ecstatic, to finally get out of alaska! i never liked the winters there, it was depressing. having almost 20 hours of darkness, and brutal single to negative temperatures was not good at all! Denver, was a better area for us. They offered Honolulu, Hawaii, but for the best of the kids, Denver seemed the way to go. the week after Thanksgiving, the movers came and packed up our stuff, and loaded it all up in the trailer in ONE day! it was impressive of them, but also stressful for me! i am so thankful my in-laws were there to help out! they were amazing! it was a stressful few days, but we got through it! and my in-laws finally witnessed how insane their son can be! and its not just me! lol!! December 5th, we said GoodBye Anchorage Alaska!! The kids and I stayed with my parents the entire month of December, while matt was in denver working, and we spent our first xmas with my parents in omaha, ne since 2008! the kids loved being around more people than just me and their daddy lol! they were SPOILED! we were planning for our house to sell during that month....but its now February 6th, and it still hasn't received an offer....its getting crunch time now because as of tomorrow, we only have a month before Kiewit stops paying for our temporary apartment....haha. there's no way we can have two living expenses! so please, Jesus have our house get an offer this week!!! :)
The kids and i have been in Denver, since January 2nd, and we love this place! MORE SUNSHINE!!! and the weather is warm (to us) and we have been to the playground alot, and lots more to do here! every weekend, we have been taking drives to view all the potential living areas, and so far we love Castle Rock and Parker areas. they both have schools that rank high in the nation! the neighborhoods are quiet, and everyone here is nice, and welcoming! Lots of activities for the little ones to get involved in. and of course, the shopping and restaurants that i have missed!!!
another plus, is we are closer to our families! 14 hour drive to minneapolis, 8 hour drive to Omaha, and also short and cheaper flights to cali, az, mn, and ne or anywhere else! and direct flights to Hawaii!!!
so far, we are having fun on our new adventure, and once we move into a house, and get settled in, its only going to get better!
yes we are experiencing, hurdles along this new journey, but at the end it will all be worth it
