Much closer to downtown/Westside, which is where we've always wanted to be. For me, it's smack dab between Palmer and Ute Valley, close to Greenways and I won't have to cross any roads to get to either, or get downtown on a bike. For the girls school commutes are much shorter, the wife could damn near walk. All the kid things we do are also much closer. Back yard is gigantic, house is adorable, very reminiscent of the first place the wife and I bought. Quite hood, much better access to the freeway and mountains.

We will have a mortgage again, which is a bummer, but it will be very affordable given the equity we are carrying over.

Older listings, since the current one was taken down. I assume because our offer was accepted, but you get the idea.

Nice house, It's about the same size as mine and no stairs to worry about anyone falling down

Whew...what a busy week. I thought I was on summer break still but the calendar says otherwise. First FH game (non-league) went great. My girls played so well and beat the other team (who plays up a division from us) on their home turf 4-1 with Syd stopping a penalty shot too. Then we did a scrimmage tournament (also a class up on turf) and went 2-2-1 so it was a good experience though we didn't play well. In between that, I had 2 days of training and working with the 2 new teachers that I am mentoring and celebrated my mothers birthday. Time to relax a bit and back to school on Tuesday. Hoping I can actually get into my classroom to set up (construction has had it blocked off and full of another teacher's stuff since they were remodeling their room) before the kids come in on Thursday.

Child's actual birthday today. Best part of being a parent is watching them grow up, but watching them grow up is also the hardest part of parenting. Excuse me if I shed a tear or two.

Three easy laps on the home trails. Easy bc of injured foot, but hero dirt in the trees was divine!

Now final prep for our first harvest of the year tomorrow. Should probably make sure the three-phase converter works - little details like that…

On the way up north. Have time to kill, so I told Google to avoid the highway.

Now I'm in the middle of no where at some random pizza spot. Middle of no where as in there is a turkey vulture across the the road pecking at something, more dirt bikes and side by sides in the parking lot than cars etc. Friendliest people I've ever met. They even have a couch out front, which I could probably take a nap on right now.

Back on the twisted broken road now..
