House-hunt update

I secretly wish we were doing House Hunters (one of my favorite shows), but after learning what a "hoax" it is, we decided not to try this time (I won't spoil it for you if you don't know about the hoax yet.  Best not to find out.).  Maybe for the next house...  :)  I mean, we have got to be less annoying than at least 75% of the people they get on there (come on, how many women need to say "Well, this can be my closet, but where will yours be?"??  Seriously...).  But I don't know if you get any prize/reward for being on the show... so yet another reason to forget about it this go round.  At least the My First Place people still get some awesome new furniture or a big fat gift card.  Sadly, our first place has come and "gone".

So, just a little status update to share.  We are still under contract on our current house (with inspection scheduled for Thursday), and we are currently under contract to buy a home in Denver!  So far things have worked out to hopefully close on October 26th (on both!), so we're really hoping/praying for a smooth few weeks of inspections and appraisals to make sure it all works out okay.  As I mentioned before, the market in Denver/Boulder has been completely insane, so we're just thankful to have found a home we really like.  It's not actually in one of the neighborhoods we were hoping for, but the added bonus is that we will at least have several friends nearby to make up for that.  We'll keep you posted as things move forward, trying to not get too excited before some of our big hurdles are actually crossed!

Here's a sneak peek:
