Monday morning, Columbus Day and I'm waiting for the airport shuttle to get me to DIA for my flight back to CT. It's been a productive week here...I'm feeling like there's definite forward progress for our adventure.
The biggest thing is that we found a house to rent so Mark can get out of the Homewood Suites and into a place that will feel a lot more like home. It's a little house in Table Mesa, which is an area in the southwest part of Boulder, nestled right up against the Flatirons. When the leaves fall outside the house we'll be able to see the mountains from the living room...we can walk to the trailheads and come back to a cozy fire in the wood stove...we can have Enzo with us...so it's kind of perfect. We signed a 6 month lease with an option to go month-by-month after that. I'll try to get some pix up on the blog. So Mark will move in next Saturday. And our latest brainstorm is for him to fly home on the 19th as planned, then we load up a small Uhaul with stuff that will make the rental feel like our place (a couple of rugs, our box of rocks, our down comforter, etc) as well as stuff that the movers won't transport (6-gallon carboys of wine, plants, etc) and we drive to Boulder from Saturday to Monday and I fly back on wednesday. I'll have to figure out my work schedule...feels like I'm taking a lot of time off, but it also feels necessary.
Better get ready for the shuttle...more later.
