Day 8 – Jan 7 2022
A week out from the fire, the day was about as normal as we can expect. Nick took the kids to school, Kate had therapy, we went out to lunch, and then Kate went to run errands and pick up the kids. Accepting assistance – One of the stranger feeling things we’re doing right now…

Day 7 – Jan 6 2022
Oh, you want a plan? – We started the day with a solid plan: drop the kids at Primrose Longmont, have call with insurance adjuster in the car as we head down to Broomfield to see Medium-term housing option (February – August+), go to Disaster Assistance Center, go to storage unit, etc. Instead by around…

Day 2 PM – Jan 1 2022
We didn’t realize we’d have so many updates per day, but we want to record this for ourselves and share with everyone who’s been so great to us over the last 48 hours. We’ve had a very productive day in figuring out some of our short-term (next few weeks) and medium-term (next 6-18 months) plans.…

Day 2 AM – Jan 1 2022
2022. Cool. We haven’t had time yet to really unpack what’s happening, but we know we’re going to be fine. Kids – The kids are enjoying extra playtime with Granny and Gramps this weekend. And, so far, we’re optimistic they can go to daycare Monday so we can start figuring things out without having to…
