3 Years and 92 days later – Our Rebuild Begins
The road continues to wind! Shortly after I last posted here (over a year ago!), Nick and I changed our minds. We left our annual gathering with fire neighbors in our street, looked at each other, and said “Uh…I kind of want to rebuild a house here. Don’t you?” So here we are. Over a…

2 Years Later
We’ve made it two years since the Marshall Fire. Wow. Since I last posted here, we’ve settled into our new house, Avery started Kindergarten in our new neighborhood school, and we finished some small house projects (including the fire tree project!). Tree project: In June 2022, as cleanup of lots was being completed we learned…

6 Months – June
What started as a pause of posting here because we didn’t really have any updates has quickly become a case of “Omg, there’s too much going on, there’s no time to post an update“ But, we’re back! I’ll try to summarize what we’re up to and what we expect next. It will be long —…

3 Months
The long and short of it: Three months somehow feels both very long and very short at the same time, but here we are. As we move forward with our lives and look ahead to a new house, new stuff, and rebuilding what we had, there’s still a drumbeat reminder in the background of everything…

New house!
We have officially bought the new house! And, poor Redfin thinks we own two beautiful houses. So, I corrected it for them: Huge thanks to our realtor Corey who has now helped our family buy 3 homes in the area (two for us, one for Tom and Debbie). We told Corey today our hope is…

Two(ish) Months
A lot has happened for us over the past month or so since we last posted. So, I’ll try to bring the main highlights here. New Rental House: On Feb 7th, our lease started in our new rental house (our 4th resting spot since New Years). We moved from our 1 month rental in Boulder…

One month
It’s been a full month. A month of some of the lowest lows….but also the occasional bright flash of light, love, and hope. ✨ I still can’t pinpoint exactly when we knew our house was gone. There’s not a single moment when it clicked. There was a gradual body of evidence collected, but no single photo…

Mortgage pre-approval – Last week, we made a rough plan for what to do next, and a major step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage (while still keeping the mortgage on 500 Muirfield). We gathered our paperwork, contacted our lender from 2020, and got moving on getting a pre-approval letter, so that we can…

That minute to breathe and relax? Cancelled. Tuesday was looking up. Until it wasn’t. Tuesday Long-term housing – We did a lot of discussing and planning for what we’re going to do (buy a house, rebuild the house, rent a house, etc). For now, we’re planning to dual-track rebuilding efforts and potentially buying another house…

We’ve either made it to where the days aren’t eventful enough to deserve their own post….or we’re too busy to write down what happened. This time, it’s a bit of both. Saturday On Saturday we went to Granny and Gramps house to organize all the shipments we’ve been receiving there, have the kids play and…
