New House, New Student, New Landscaping
In a couple weeks, Stormy and I will own a second home. For the past few years, we’ve been keeping an eye on real estate in Ft. Collins, CO. This year we decided to seriously consider an investment in a second home/rental. Well, during vacation this year with Zane and the girls (oh yah, Claudia and her sister, Carolin came to stay with us for a month this summer), Stormy and I poured through the MLS, visited about 10 houses, and finally found a house that we both really liked. We made an offer, it was countered, we accepted, and we will close in mid September.

Our new exchange student, Laura, arrived on August 10th from Switzerland. She just started at the local high school this week as a junior. She hates having her picture taken, so we’ll make sure we get some pictures of her online soon.

Our new landscaping is just about complete. A few finishing touches are needed in the backyard. We are very happy with the work. Our neighbors are very happy as well, since they get to enjoy it too. Photos are online.
