January 2015

What a month!  Denny was offered a wonderful job opportunity in Denver, CO working for Jonah Energy at the end of December so things got crazy in January.  Denny had to fly back to Texas early from our Arizona Christmas vacation so he could give his two week notice at StatOil.  The kids and I then came back as scheduled on Jan. 4th.  We put our Katy, Texas house on the market the next day, Jan. 5th.  We had constant showings all week and by Saturday the 10th we had three offer and were under contract.  Denny flew to Denver so he could start is new job on the 11th.

Denny did come back the next weekend so he could run the Houston Marathon that he had been training for.  He love it and I will not be surprised if we take little family vacation to Houston in the future to watch him run it again.

The kids and I spent the next two weeks prepping for a move and getting in as much quality time with our friends as we could before we headed to Colorado.

On January 23rd Nanna and Papa came to the rescue to help with the kids and final days of prep before the movers came.

January 27th Nanna, Papa and the kids flew to Denver. I stayed one extra day while the movers loaded all of our things.  January 28th I flew to Denver and we were a family of four again in our new city.  We each came to Denver with one suitcase of clothes while all of our other things went into storage until we found a house to live in.  We were staying in a furnished condo in Englewood, CO which is south of downtown Denver where Denny works.  It had furniture but not a single toy.  The kids didn't really know what to do with themselves.  It wasn't long before Ike was asking go to back to his house in Katy, TX.
