We have landed!

Well after much craziness this week...we.have.landed.

Let's unpack a bit (pun intended! haha!)

Wednesday 3/30... a truck was dropped, we packed our minds out (we had left our house clean and staged until that day which left MUCH to be done) and our precious friends landed at our house and LITERALLY saved our packing lives. Ya'll - not only did Hannah wake up that morning with a serious upper respiratory infection and a fever but there was so.much.more. than we EVER thought once it all got packed and these people SERIOUSLY blessed us. This truck would have never been packed otherwise!

 Thursday 3/31.. Oh man there were tears guys. Hannah's last day at work, still sick so she only got to stay for like 3 hours, saying goodbye to friends and coworkers, cleaning up the house and the truck officially got on the road to Denver. We also had to get the house cleaned up and ready to start showing again starting on Friday.  

Friday 4/1... Clean the house, get rid of all the trash, officially lock the house down and say goodbye to our first home together. More tears, more hugs, we packed the cars up, headed to Hannah's mom's house in The Woodlands and Alex's mom, brother and sister-in-law got into town. By this point we were all.the.tireds. High point though is we ACCEPTED AN OFFER ON OUR HOUSE! We feel so blessed that our house was able to get under contract before we officially moved (it was a major prayer answered!) so big prayers are appreciated as we move towards closing (tentatively 6/3!). 

Saturday 4/2...the move is official and Alex and his brother hit the road to get the cars to Colorado!

That afternoon Hannah's precious sister, mom, aunts, cousin and longtime best friends all came together and threw us a beautiful baby shower at Ouisie's Table. It was beautiful, perfect and lovely and I could not be more grateful for these amazing women in my life, their generosity and the opportunity to put a hug around each of them before we officially hit the road. The love from everyone there was so evident and I am so thankful I got to have this moment before we left Houston. 

Sunday 4/2... The boys continued on the open road...

(first white caps!)

(tandem at it's best...except on a bike)

(Alex is VERY excited to be getting to the mountains!)

and made it to Denver!

They picked up the keys to the apartment and set up what we affectionately are calling "Camp Fleming" in our living room. 

Needless to say when Hannah would arrive the next day - "Camp Fleming" moved to the Doubletree Hotel down the street. 

Hannah also said bye to her family and got ready to fly out SUPER early the next morning with her sister to officially kick off this Denver party! 

Monday 4/3...3:30am came REALLY early and Hannah and her sister headed out to the airport to catch a 5:30 flight to Denver. Easy flight up was followed by much needed caffeine once they landed and an early morning Uber got them to "Camp Fleming"

The truck wasn't going to get delivered until Tuesday so while Alex and Tyler hung out...Hannah and Emily did what they naturally do when given an afternoon in a new city with nothing major on the docket... responsibly find tasks that are helpful and set things up for an easier tomorrow hit up the closest super target, go shopping and find a killer local taco joint. 

Ya'll this girl...seriously saved my sanity this week. Love my sweet sister and so thankful for her. 

We also were awake for ALMOST 24 hours this day. Delirious doesn't even begin to describe...

Tuesday 4/4... Hannah took Emily back to the airport so she could get back to her sweet family. It really started to settle in that this was real. This wasn't just vacation with all our stuff. The truck also arrived later that morning and the unpack commenced! Thankfully Alex's brother, Tyler, was here to help and our hired mover guys were super speedy and got everything unpacked into our apartment in less than an hour! It was crazy!

There's a bike in the sink...naturally #movingwithacyclist

Hannah was clearly very helpful in this whole move

Ya'll...moving a 2400 square foot house across the country and into a 1000 square foot apartment is...in short...hilarious. We brought less than half of our furniture and purged a ton before we left and this apartment is PACKED.OUT. It totally feels like a dorm room. It's a very nice apartment though and the neighborhood is lovely! We are definitely viewing this as just our landing spot and will hopefully be on a house hunt once our Houston house closes. Needless to say we are unpacking as little as necessary so the bachelor pad dorm room feel is very likely to persist... whatever :-) More room for responsible adult activities sleeping bag fights. 

Wednesday 4/5... We decided moving needed to take a break and Tyler was leaving later that evening so we chose to have a fun day instead! It was a GORGEOUS day so instead of unpacking we went out to Red Rocks and hiked around followed by a delish lunch at Wynkoop Brew Co. Later we had to say "see you later" to Tyler and we were officially on our own! We could NOT be more grateful for all of the help and time Tyler spent to make sure we got settled here! Thank you T!! You're the best! 

Thursday 4/6... So today marks our official first full day as real deal on-our-own Denver-ites! It's another beautiful bluebird day. We are going to keep unpacking, maybe head out to the bike shop, Hannah is on a mission to find a new yoga studio and we are meeting up with some friends for dinner so all is good! 

So that's it for now! We made it! 

Wish us luck!

Let's adventure...

All our love and thanks,

Hannah and Alex
