There it is! Our beautiful new home!

Now we just can't wait to move in. Heck, I think Jeff has spent more time there than we have... he's been our water-boy... taking care of all our beautiful plants in our absence. Thanks Jeff! You're the best!

Anyways, the news that's fit to print, is that Alli will fly out tomorrow, Friday 6/6, and will spend just over a week at the house getting started on some personalization projects such as painting the bedrooms, updating fixtures, etc... and then also be there for the professional update to the countertops! YAY! That happens on Thursday the 12th. Can't wait!

After leaving on Sunday the 15th, it's less than 2 weeks till the official move. And we can't WAIT! It's bittersweet to be leaving California, it's been a great experience and I think we'll appreciate CO even more coming back, but we are definitely ready to hunker into the new digs. Woo hooo!

The official move date is currently set such that the movers come on Wednesday the 25th to pack the apartment and then on Thursday to load the truck and head out with our stuff... then we'll bust outta there on Friday the 27th with the yeowling kitties and will make a bee-line for Colorado with minimal stops. We're not even sure they'll let us spend the night somewhere in Utah to break it up, or if we'll have a repeat nightmare experience of the drive out and have to just do the trip straight through... either way, we intend to pull into the driveway in our own car, for keeps, on Saturday June 28th... barring any change of plans or issues with the movers and what-not.

We'll keep ya posted!!!

Yes, we WILL return...

Everyone keeps asking... "when are you moving back?!"... to which we usually respond with something witty like "we're adding on a month for each that no one comes to visit us" or "everytime someone asks us when we're moving back, that's an additional month we're staying"... but the real answer is SOON!!! Ryan's contract ends June 30th and when they asked us to stay on for a few more months we said "Thanks but no thanks!!". So, it's for real, people, the Willies will return to CO at the end of June. PHEW!

It's been a great and wonderful adventure to be in Cali for the past 2 years, we've made some great friends, seen lots of the beautiful left coast and enjoyed some yummy wines, but truth be told, we are indeed ready to be heading back home to Colo. We currently are under contract on a beautiful home we can't wait to call our own in Highlands Ranch. We're due to close on May 23rd and take possession on the 30th. Most Excellent. (By the way, though Lockheed will be moving all our stuff out here in Cali back, we will be expecting everyone who is not pregnant - sheesh - to help us with our shctuff still down in storage in the Springs... yup, and no, if your wife is pregnant, no, that doesn't mean you are... nope, doesn't count.)

We're setting up this blogspace to share with friends and family who are not local, all the wonders of our move back and goings ons in our life... what better way to kick it off than with chat of our big move back to the Homeland.

GO ROCKIES!
