Derek and I arrived in Denver on Sunday night and really like it here so far even though we are still in limbo. It was warm Monday and Tuesday, but it turned chilly for Halloween. We spent the past two days looking at a bunch of apartments. We narrowed it down to a neighborhood (Capital Hill) and found an super amazing apartment near Cheesman Park. It is in a really nice and quiet neighborhood in a renovated old mansion. It is rather close to downtown and on the route to school. We really like it and will post pictures of the inside soon. We went for a follow-up peak this afternoon and made arrangements to sign the lease and pay tomorrow morning, but then tonight the property manager called to say there was a potential delay: the current residents were planning on moving out Friday morning so we could begin moving in that night as the cleaners cleaned. They are moving out because they bought a home, but they just found out there might be a delay with their closing. The manager was suppose to call us back with an update if needed tonight and we are hoping the fact that he didn't is a good sign since he knows we will need to make arrangements since we are staying in a hotel right now. We really hope it works out because we really like it.
Besides that we have been doing a lot of exploring and really like the area. We are really excited to be here and think we will be very happy.
Oh, and yes, Gandalf made the trip just fine. He got a little restless the end of the first day, but besides that he found a nice little nook up on the boxes in the back and stayed there most of the time. He would come down every couple of hours and check things out - look out the windows and make sure we were doing OK. He set paw in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas and even saw a real cowboy herding cows!!! This is a picture of him in his nook!

This is the front of the place we really, really like. If it doesn't work out with this one we have found back up which is very nice too!
