On the Road Again...to Colorado

So it just seems like that Chad and I can't help but be moving all over this year! Or just can't seem to be able to stay out of the car. Four weeks ago Chad, Doc (father-in-law), Mom-in-law, and I were in Colorado to help them find a house. Why? Because we are moving in with them! :) I am actually excited because the four of us get along so well and all that jazz. The plan is to try to get Chad to school out there...thats if we a) have the money or b) find scholarships or grants. A new adventure for Chad. So why Colorado? Point a) the Corder family loves snow and mountains b) because we have wanted to move out west c) there is no jobs waiting there for us or taking us there d) see the first two points. Come this Saturday (the 19th) I will be leaving Ohio and not living there for the first time in my whole life. It's sad to leave Ohio because I do love Ohio (the seasons, family and friends). I'm going to miss lots of people who have had such an impact on me and I know my husband. Even though we are not living here anymore, Ohio is still my home and Colorado will become it too.
So onto more happy points about the new house. We will be living at the elevation of 9,600 feet! Talk about a rough first month (not just money wise either). Besides the four of us living there, we will have FIVE ferrets and FOUR cats! (as long as all the cats survive the trip which i'm sure they will). The house is old and needs work but that's okay! It has a three car garage which the men are excited about plus the workshop in part of the basement. Another bonus to the house is that horses are allowed. Only two of them, no stallions, and no other farm animals. But a barn and fence would have to be built and there is no way any of us can afford one, let alone two, right now. Chad and I want to get a dog! But sadly, we can't afford one right now but we know where to look for the type we want. :)
So that is really the only big news and adventure in our life right now. Tomorrow we head over to Indiana to stay with my sis-in-law for one night then go to church the next morning. And then it's back on the road again to our new home. I do feel sorry for my father-in-law and Chad because they are both driving the 26-foot Penske trucks plus dolleys for the Jetta and Passat while my mother-in-law and I drive the truch and explorer! We are just praying that we do NOT have to get a third truck!
Be back soon in Ohio and Hello colorful Colorado!
