moving right along

Well, we are a go for Colorado. If things go as planned we will have secured a place to live in the next few days and in just two and a half short weeks our dog will officially be Mountain Maddie.

Technically, she'll be more like Foothill Maddie as we are looking at places in Golden. Its hard to do this from so far away. My dad travels to Denver for work a lot and is out there right now checking out places for us. He and I sort of have different ideas on what we like (he likes shiny and new areas ... I like older ones) so this is going to be tough but I keep telling myself this is temporary housing. He has found one place that he has pretty much sold me on, even if it wasn't exactly what we had in mind. The mailing address is Golden but on the map it looks more like Denver. I wasn't happy until I realized that it is just five short miles to old Golden from there and i can handle it. He said there are great places to walk the mutt ... up into the hills and that he saw a mountain biker zoom by on a bike trail. I asked if said trail was paved or dirt and he said "dirt ... about a foot wide." = singletrack. I'm sold. Tomorrow he's gonna head up to Boulder and look around a bit. We'll see.

I'm overwhelmed by how much work there is to do between then and now. It'll get done tho. And being so busy is making the time FLY by. Two and a half weeks. Two and a half weeks and we will be Colorado residents. Can't WAIT!

I know one thing! Maddie is all ready to go!
