Rocky Mountain High

When I first started working from home, my biggest dream, besides not leaving Emily in daycare, was that I thought it would be so cool to be able to have a 100% portable business.

Back in 2001, laptops and mini’s weren’t quite the rage. On the contrary, about the only portable computer at the time was IBM’s Thinkpad and it was big bucks. Back then, many of us were still on dial-up and AOL while waiting for DSL lines to come into the neighborhood.

How things have changed and how things will continue to change! Today, my laptop is more powerful than my desktop and everything I need to access for my business, is web-based.

We are Back Home

I hope you had an absolutely fantastic Thanksgiving.  We had a quiet one.  I had actually been offline for about a week from the time we left Colorado until the day after Thanksgiving.

I guess it must have been a busy week for AT&T as when I called them 3 weeks prior to our leaving Colorado, they were booked for the entire week, except for November 28th.

If feels great to be back in our home, in our neighborhood and back to normal.  Emily is loving being back in her school with all her friends.

The welcome wishes we received from everyone were just incredible!  It’s amazing how much you realize how good you have things right where you are when you’ve been gone for a while.

Headed Back Home

Well, it looks like our Colorado adventure is going to be coming to an end here very soon.  As much as we’ve been dreaming about living out here for the last 10 years, the reality is that we have a house that doesn’t look like it’s going to sell any time soon.

Our house had been on the marketing since early June.  We haven’t had any showings since early August, and then in September, we’re here not 2 weeks, and the bottom drops out of the economy.

Before we left to come here, there were only 3 houses for sale in our subdivision. Now, there are 10.. out of only 150 homes.

Some are asking $30K – $40K below our asking price.
