EDIT: Well it looks like we won't be closing on the house until next Wednesday 9/5. We were pretty bummed but whats a few more days to the rest of our lives?? The trip to Mount Rushmore will have to wait for another day, but that's okay. Lorrie and I were chatting today and already said that it may be very fun to all go together and camp next spring.


So the time is getting near for us to leave for Colorado. This means our days have been full of packing and planning. This is really exhausting for me and I don't have much energy for blogging. We're almost completely packed up. We bought a 14' trailer and it is going to be full! We sold many of our larger items so we could travel lighter and are planning on replacing things via craigslist.com once out there. It's rather fun looking at what's available, since it changes almost daily. We're hoping that exactly what we will need will pop up on the right days. Our arrival date in Colorado is September 7th. If we close on our house this Friday the 31st, we're planning leaving Indiana on Labor Day and taking a detour to go to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota for a couple days next week. If that doesn't work out, we can plan on going another time since it will only be about 5 1/2 hours away from Fort Collins. So cool!
