update

Our CA home is in escrow. After only about 14 days on the market we had a number of offers, and one really stood out. If all goes as plans we'll close on December 19th and will need to be out by the 22nd, although we'll most likely be gone before we close anyway, since Nate will need to start in CO around the 15th. Our realtor has been great to work with, definitely knows what she's doing and has been a good match for us.

In the meantime, after countless hours of research on CO possibilities (seriously, Nate probably knows CO cities, neighborhoods and school districts better than most locals), we found a home we really like in a neighborhood we love there. The realtor we found via friends of Caitlin (thanks again, Caitlin) is a nice guy that we really like. He was able to get us in for a viewing on the 1st, and by the 4th we'd put down an offer. It's a short sale, but our realtor is hopeful we'll hear back from the bank shortly since they've already approved the price. Of course, he was hopeful we'd hear back last week, but we didn't. SO, best case scenario we're in by Christmas. Worst case scenario, we'll be homeless for Christmas and end up in a hotel in CO. OR, maybe we'd beg Mom and Dad to take us in and spend Christmas with them.

Just thought I'd share.
