Finding our home was not an easy process, though everything worked out in the end as we absolutely love our little house. We started searching for houses to rent while Matt was still in Iraq--we looked at countless ads online, had friends go look at houses (neither of us were in Colorado at the time), filled out a few applications, and still came up empty handed. I was starting to worry that we'd never find a house but then this little gem fell into our laps.

When Matt returned home from Iraq in March we were able to look for houses together. We were looking at another house a few blocks over when the realtor mentioned they had a home that wasn't yet available but the current tenants needed to move out early. We hopped in the car, did a drive-by, and promptly returned to tell the realtor that we would LOVE to see it and hopefully rent it. After a viewing of the house we knew it was the one for us and luckily we were able to rent it...though Matt couldn't move in until May so he had to sleep on some buddies' couch for a while. :) It really is funny how things work out--we thought we'd never find a house we liked and ended up with one we love!
