cheers so if you have been following along and you watched my year in review vlog that i created
the last week of december you would have seen i dropped a little hint that there could be
a major change taking place on my channel and we have decided to move forward with that
change cheers it is december 8th 2020. we just emailed a realtor in colorado
why do we do this why did we do it i don't know because we want to move okay it is december 16th
and we just got the phone call
from our lender in colorado and we are approved for a home in colorado
the day is here you guys it is january 12th and we started our road trip
to colorado because we will be looking at houses for the next three days so
scary but not yes so if you have watched either of these colorado vlogs yeah i said
in the vlogs we were going out there for my husband's work no no we weren't
you guys it is january 14th we're in loveland we have spent
the entire day with our realtor and we found a house woohoo we did today that's it but
um we have to narrow down a few things but yeah so that's awesome you guys so it is january 16th and
we just placed a deposit on our house in colorado
so it was a very successful trip to colorado we can say that we just got the email
it is january 27th and we will officially be closing on our house in colorado on february 26th
this is getting real this is really getting real so it is february 12th we are back in colorado
for the next three nights so today's a busy day we have to meet with our builder this morning at
9:00 a.m our house is a brand new build and we just get to do a walk through with the builder
make sure everything is up to par if there's anything we think needs to be fixed or anything
we let him know today um and then at one o'clock we do our home inspection with the home inspector
so hopefully everything goes well today that's that's that's gross yes fingers crossed that
everything goes well but um yeah it's gonna be a good day it's great to be back in colorado
we just finished the walkthrough with the builder and then the inspection guy came through and it
all went really well but i can iterate enough it's so good to always no matter what hire an inspector
because they just pick up on like things that you wouldn't even like even think of so um yeah yeah
and they can like look at your plumbing stuff and like check for all these things we didn't
have any serious issues or anything but like there was a few things he mentioned that the builder had
to kind of up change and stuff and so now they go back to the builder and the builder has to fix it
all but us going through with the builder we had we wouldn't have ever thought of that so it was so
nice having that inspector to do that for us because they can look and have the tools and
all the things so it was good but it's crazy two weeks for today we'll be back closing on our house
don't want to leave i know we don't want to leave you guys we're out furniture shopping right now
just kind of looking to see what's out here but yeah so that's it you guys it's getting so real
from the first time we were ever in colorado were like we loved colorado we definitely talked back
like five six years ago when we're there like how we could totally see ourselves
living there but we were younger we were getting nicely settled here in minnesota and everything
was going great and it still is great but we've reached that point in our lives where we're ready
for change we're now just gonna move to a different area here in minnesota we're ready
for a big life change and we have decided this is it so after a lot a lot of research um we
kind of honed in on the loveland / fort collins area we went out there and you guys we have fell
fell in love like it was absolutely absolutely beautiful out there like the mountains are like
right there you're 45 minutes from estes park from rocky mountain national park like
it was just it was amazing it's it's colorado is amazing so after being there for that week going
looking at homes with the realtor and just being there like our heart was telling us something
and both vince and i had the exact same feelings it was it was amazing i can't stop thinking about
it because we loved it so much ever since we've been back home here in minnesota it's
like i just i want to be back out there it's like pulling me already like it's just crazy
so we're doing it and we definitely knew we were out hiking one morning because we
had to meet with our realtor that afternoon so we're like let's go just go for a little hike
and it was 50 degrees in the middle of january my husband was wearing a t-shirt
and we were hiking and the sun was so bright and fun fact colorado has more sun than florida
yep it's more sunnier in colorado than florida i kind of mentioned this in my sunset hike blog
that the dreary weather here in minnesota really affects me and i just i'm someone who like lives
off the sun like i just love sun and so when we're out there it was bright and sunny and warm and
just amazing it was just amazing you guys and i just we're just so excited for this next step in
our life and actually colorado is considered one of like the best places to live in all the us and
i can totally see why because there's just so much opportunity out there and gives you such
a different lifestyle that we are definitely like craving and ready for something new don't get us
wrong minnesota will always have our hearts this is where we both have been born and raised and we
have lived in this small little town we've been raised in our entire lives so this is a big thing
for us but we will never forget our roots but it's time to spread our wings it's just that time in
our life and we're in the middle of a pandemic still in 2021 it's not getting any easier or
better to travel which is what we're so used to so we're like this is the best time in our lives
to make a change and we're both ready for it and we just can't wait to see how everything comes
along so with that said you're going to be seeing a shift in my channel i will be vlogging a lot of
our moving stuff and eventually it's going to be a lot a lot of colorado outdoors you guys because
yeah our house that we have bought um i opened my shade for my bedroom and it's mountains
it's absolutely gorgeous and we're just so excited we're just so excited to get out there
and change from minnesotans to coloradans i think that's how you say it coloradans
colorados i don't know and so we just feel like this is going to give us that next step in our
life for a better quality of life and there's nothing wrong with our life here in minnesota but
