I digress....as Matt and I began to have conversations about how we could include G and G into our family home, we began to think about leaving our home. Maybe we could find a home with a Mother in law suite or build one? As we started to do the research we discovered this was a much easier idea in our heads than reality...unless you have a large budget or a decent amount of land. The other problem was geographical because neither party wanted to leave the general area we live; Arvada-Golden area.
During all this movement Grandma and Grandpa decided they felt like a burden to us, they just couldn't feel comfortable having us take care of them as they age and we continue to build our family. Something Matt and I disagreed with but had to respect. So as soon as that door opened it closed. And once again I turned the plan over to God.
Than they did something suddenly, they listed their home for sale and began to look at independent senior living. Grandma began to see a reality in saying goodbye to their home of 50 years and it scared her. She began asking us to buy their house....so Matt and I took a day or two to really think about this.
Its the perfect layout, Three bedrooms upstairs, one downstairs. We could expand our family easily.
It has a huge yard with a view of the mountains.
Its less than a mile from Majestic View Park and Nature Center.
Its the house Nancy grew up in and where Matt lived during his high school years (when his parents moved north.) Mason's bedroom could be the room his Grandma grew up in...just slightly sentimental.
Us being there would give Grandma and Grandpa a sense of comfort in their aging years, they could be close to us in location and they could visit as much as they wanted.
It all seemed pretty perfect.
So we agreed to buy it! But its never that easy....
