So I noticed I never gave you the result of Nate's interviews (all of you know already). Nate got in to BOTH schools for a PhD in Immunology!!! So he had to choose and we both discussed it seriously for a couple weeks before deciding. As you know, we decided that Nate would go to University of Colorado to get his PhD. They are both great schools, but the family/home life was much better here. Houses are affordable here, we love the area and outdoor activities (mtns), we love our church, we have great friends here, and Angie loves her job here (and has a day shift position, which she would probably lose in Seattle). So, we are staying in Denver for 5-6 more years!!! It is official! Nate starts in the end of August '09 so he might be done around 2014 or 2015 (wow that sounds far away). : ) So, what's this picture about? We started looking for houses after we figured out our plan, and we got a great realtor named Mike Cooke (he was also our loan agent). We looked for about one month and saw almost 30 houses! It felt like a long process. But we found one we LOVED and put an offer on it that day! It was up for $230, we put the offer in at $220...the next day they counteroffered $227 and we accepted! We felt like it was gonna go fast so we quickly said YES! It is a GREAT price for an amazing house! Tell you more about it later.
