The ball is rolling!

Our plane tickets have been booked for our trip out to visit Colorado! We're flying out Thursday, December 16th just after 8am. We're coming home Sunday, December 19th in the afternoon. It will be the first time Levi and I have both left Oliver. I'm a little terrified about that, but I know he'll be in good hands. Still, it will be hard to be away from him.

After we arrive in Colorado, we're probably just going to do a bit of driving around. We're looking at the South Denver area, and we're probably just going to check out several neighborhoods. So far, the list includes Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Castle Rock for certain. There might be some other areas, but I am most interested in the Highlands Ranch area. It was rated by CNN money by one of the 100 best places to live in the country! Colorado has 6 of 100 of the best places to live. I'm impressed.

Anyway, Highlands Ranch seemingly has everything we need...there's a Sam's Club, a Whole Foods, Target, Wal-Mart, Starbucks...all the essentials. ;o) Parker is another viable option, as the homes I've browsed online are a bit less there than Highlands Ranch. It might seem crazy that I have been looking at homes online, but I figure the more things I have taken care of beforehand, in case we do go, the better. Besides, it's not like it's wasted time. I haven't got much else to do! =)

We also plan on meeting some of the company folks that Levi works with, which will be nice. We'll probably have dinner with them one night. We also have family in Castle Rock, and we'll probably have lunch or dinner with them one night, too.

There isn't much else to say, since we don't really know what else to expect. This is just a go out and look around kind of trip. Other than look around, I don't know what we'll do! We aren't going to bother looking at houses when we're there, because we haven't even got the faintest idea of whether or not we will decide to move there. I doubt we'll look at hospitals, either, though I have found the Cadillac of ALL labor and delivery units at a Denver hospital!! They have an $8 million L&D unit. Wow. It looks like a spa!

I will keep you all updated as the story unfolds. Keep us in your prayers!
