The number "20" has been a bit charmed for us along our journey.
Our Bon Voyage party for leaving Phoenix was on February 20.
After tricking out the van, we left Loveland, CO on March 20.
And today, eight months later, on October 20, we received the news that our rental application was approved for our new home in Fort Collins, CO!
We get to move in on Saturday and we're super excited about our new home and our new city! You should totally come visit us right away. We'll have an extra bed ready. And if quality time with Jon and Ellen is not enough incentive, check out all the stuff we're already in love with...

- Fort Collins has over 280 miles of designated bike routes in the city.
- We live only 1.5 miles from downtown.
- When you come visit, we'll check out some extra bikes from the Bike Library for you to use.
- We can take a nice bike ride alongside the Poudre River.
- When we get thirsty, we can grab a beer straight from the source at New Belgium or O'Dell.
- We'll make you a wonderful dinner with quality bulk ingredients procured from the Fort Collins Food Co-Op. (They have bulk olive oil, honey, flour, laundry soap, and more!)
- By the time you visit, we might even have a garden in our backyard and fresh eggs from our chickens (Fort Collins allows homeowners to keep up to six).
- If you're into visual art, we can walk the galleries during First Friday.
- If music is more your thing, perhaps we can dig something up.
- Or, if you'd like some intellectual stimulation, we could head over to CSU for a lecture.
- And if you've had enough of the "city life" we can head over to the Rockies (a bit over an hour away), or just head about 30 minutes west up into the Roosevelt National Forest.
- If you just wanna go fast, we could rent a ski boat over at Horsetooth Reservoir.

ReplyDeleteJon & Ellen- your house looks super cute! We are tight on time for our visit next weekend, but will be back for a week after Thanksgiving and would love to come up and check out the place! So excited for you both. p.s. You are cordially invited to Addie's 1st Birthday party Friday, October 29th around 10am. My sister has picked out a park near her house so when I get more details, I can send them to you (or call :-) Looking forward to seeing you again!!

@Leanne - Thanks for the tip on the margarita joint. We'll be sure to grab one before it gets too cold here. But today's weather was still absolutely perfect for a walk to the park - and the colors on the trees... pow! Looking forward to seeing you in July!
ReplyDelete@Jen: We'll be there! See your email...
