Moving (?)!

It's been weeks since I posted about moving in here, so it must be time to think about moving again!

We have been discussing the purchase of a home for quite awhile. Apartment living has advantages, but throwing away money monthly kind of sucks. We would like to have a place to call our own. Not to mention that we currently live a minimum of 20 minutes from any of the significant destinations in our regular schedules (jobs, daycare, and school). After considering Aurora to be closer to jobs, sense was talked into us by several people who pointed out that it is much better to live where you want to be on the weekends and such, rather than purchasing for a job that may or may not change in the time you plan on being in the same house. With this in mind we are now looking over in the North Arvada/Westminster area. After getting approved on a home loan* we toured a few places today. 5 in all, narrowed rapidly down to 2 that are nice houses in our price range. 4 bedrooms are required in any house that we buy, so K1, K2, and the aptly named "Number 3" will all have their own bedrooms down the road. It's fun to look at homes with Stephanie and think about where the next 20-50 years will take us... :-)

*I'm about to say something positive about Bush. Hold your breath and plug your nose...Thanks George W. Bush for so thoroughly trashing the economy that interest rates are ridiculously low and nobody else is buying houses! It really helps this process that the economy is shot to hell, and I appreciate your part in that.
