Josh and Annie - March 26 
Our Building
Boulder, CO
The Aparment:
We were hesitant at first. The outside was kinda sketchy. The inside, however, was so clean and pretty big. 2 BR 1.5 BA, 1000 sqft. Not too shabby. I'm glad we gave the little hidden gem a look :)
4 month lease - the original people skipped out so we got this for a really good deal. We can renew after 4 months if we want.
We are 20 yards from Safeway (grocery), 1.5 mile from Pearl Street (like Broughton St./City Market but waaaay bigger), across the street from a Target, and next door to a park.
We are 45 minutes from the nearest ski resort, 20 minutes from Denver, and 45 minutes from the famous music venue "Red Rocks". Mile High Music Festival is in Denver in July. Our most favorite band, Widespread Panic, is headlining two nights. Live music fans: google "Mile High Music Festival" - the line up pretty sick.
The only thing that really sucks about our new place is... no dogs. I figure it's God's way of telling us to get jobs and get settled before getting a puppy. I can wait 4 months I suppose... :)
Boulder is uber friendly, clean and safe. We asked the property manager if there was any crime in the complex. His response was "Well, I've lived here for two years and the only thing that has happened is one time a guy got his license plate stolen..." It is relatively flat and sits right at the foot of the "Flatirons", just before the Rockies.
While we were there this past week, there was a snow storm/blizzard. The whole town shut down. We couldn't drive in our front wheel drive Toyota Camry rental car, so we walked around. It doesn't feel nearly as cold as West Virginia in January when it's NOT snowing. It's not a bitter cold, it's dry and not too bad if dressed appropriately. 16 inches of snow fell in just 36 hours. It is very uncharacteristic of Boulder to get that much snow. The average for the entire month of March is about 17 inches. On average, 80 inches or so falls per year, but doesn't always accumulate like the storm last week.
Oh and we got a 2 BR place for a reason.... COME VISIT US! :)
We start driving out West on Monday, April 6. My mama is helping and staying through Easter. I love that woman more than she will ever know. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Tootie.

Ain't never subscribed to a "feed" before, so we'll see how it goes.
Good luck to you guys. I'd freeze to death out there. Fitness is a big deal in that town, so personal trainers probably do well. I also hear that it is maybe the "smartest" place in the country. Hope those flatirons don't tumble over on you. :-) Watch yer watch on Pearl Street. :-) Kevin
See y'all in May. Hate to see ya go. Have fun, I know y'all will.
Love the one and only,
Big C
