Driving to St. Louis/House details
We’re on I-70 heading west towards St. Louis, MO. Candice is driving (she usually does about 2/3rds of the driving on these trips because she likes to drive more than I do–plus if I’m driving, how am I supposed to blog or check my email? 😉 ) I just realized we’ve been on the road for 3 days now and Candice has done all the blogging!
We’ll if you’ve been reading our blog in the last week or so, you should have figured out that we bought a house in Longmont, CO. Candice flew out there in November after scouring the internet listings for houses that fit in our budget and looked like something that we’d like to live in. Another qualification that Candice had was that it had to have a pretty good-sized backyard. The picture that Candice posted the other day was supposed to be a ‘teaser.’ 😉 It was fall, so the grass was turning brown and the trees had lost their leaves. We’ll post some more pictures of the inside and the backyard soon. It’s probably covered in snow by this point, though, so even we don’t know what it’s going to look like when we get there. Many thanks to my brother, Marc, for telling us about ACORN Housing and helping answer all of our frequent and numerous questions!
My company has an office in Boulder, CO, which is about a 30 minute drive from Longmont. All of the development team/systems guys are out there in that office, so I should fit right in. In the past 3 months or so, they got a new ‘lodge’ office, so there should be plenty of room for me (the previous office was a little cramped because they started with 2 people and are now up to 7.) I met most of them when I first started working when they flew me out for training, but there are a couple guys I haven’t met yet; even so, I talk with most of them on almost a daily basis through Skype and email.
More to come soon…

This is so cool to be able to “watch” you guys on the road! Drive Safe! Office sounds cool in Boulder!

Longmont, eh? Well that’s just a little bit further from Denver than Boulder, eh?
U Denver (where Jakki’s applying) is south of Denver.
