Condo for Sold

We got an offer today on our condo. It's just a verbal right now, but we verbally accepted it! That's really exciting. Now comes the waiting for written offers, and the messy part of going through inspections, lots of paperwork, etc. But anyway we're comforted to know that someone likes the hard work we've done for the past 2 years...

And a new beginning...

That's right, next week we'll officially be Colorado Residents. We have a new address, phone, and outlook.

Stitch has always enjoyed chasing squirrels (a.k.a. skweeerels) and since moving to the 303 he's taken an interest in the rabbits that live in the dry-stacked stone walls around my temporary housing complex. Well, it's now spring, which means bunnies begatting bunnies. Yesterday he was chasing after one of the little guys (maybe half-grown) and another one made a bad choice and turned right at him. Well he got it! I was so shocked that it took me a second to pull him off, and when he hit the ground he got it again. I pulled him back again and the bunny recovered enough to lunge for the wall and was gone. If Stitch hadn't been so shocked at actually catching one, I'm sure we'd have had a dead bunny. But he walked around so proudly for the rest of the evening.. What a stud.

Hello dear friends. I've been neglecting you. Severely. My apologies but it's been an interesting few months. And I do say interesting in a makes-me-need-to-pull-my-hair-out kind of way. Oh yes...

We just got back from a sweet vacation though and I couldn't think of a better way to christen my newfound relaxation than by staying up late to surf and blog. Haven't done that in a while. Our friend #1 Fan has a new blog. She writes "I'm your biggest fan" letters to various entities. Check it out.

I'll definitely be writing up a lengthy post on our trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness when i get around to it. Which may mean over Christmas vacation. Who knows? Until then, all my love...

226 days. That's how long it's been since I paid this blog any attention. It's well past feeling neglected now.

What's happened in the past 7+ months? Well, we bought a condo, moved in, visited Portland, fixed the condo up, visited Tennessee, enjoyed the new year, did some good things at work, and are about to leave on a ski trip to Breck.

I put a few photos from a trip to New Braunfels up at: picasaweb.google.com/danetchristensen. You'll see the fire pit we've been working on, cooking dinner over the open flame, and Stitch and I kayaking.

Gotta get ready for the Super Bowl now. Will post again soon.
