We're moving!!!


It's hard to believe that we've been in Denver now for 1 year! Our lease ends at the end of April, so we've been looking at different places to move in to. Since Jason will be going to school this fall, we've been looking for a place that we like enough to stay in for the next 3-4 years. We also need something bigger than our little 600 sq ft place. We love to have people over to hang out and eat (and sleepovers, of course!). So, a bigger place was a must, also for the reason that Jason has a separate room to study in. The things we were really wanting were: ideally a duplex or townhome (as it is much more of a "house" feel); hardwood floors, fire place, painted accent walls, character, quiet location, back yard for planting and to relax in, and 2 bedrooms.

We found it!!!! It is a cute all brick duplex. We have the right side of the two. The landlord lives in the left unit. It has 3 bedrooms, a huge living room and dining room that both have painted accent walls, a basement (we are so stoked about this) that has the 3rd bedroom and two other small rooms for storage/wine cooler (Jason plans to brew his own beer too) and whatever else we want to do with them, and the laundry room is down there too. It's super spacious. It is all hardwood floors. And it has a ton of character like arched entry ways, quirky closets, sky light in bathroom, and a funky fun kitchen that has an extended breakfast room for our little table. And then we have a shared yard with the owner who is thrilled about us wanting to plant. We are both into organic gardening and thus super excited to grow our vegetables and herbs.

We are set to move-in the third weekend in April. Funny thing is the duplex is exactly 7 blocks west of where we are at and off the same street. Moving won't be so bad this time! :-) We'll post photos as soon as we are settled in. We will now have a ton of room. Can't wait for you to come visit and stay with us!!
