Attn: Westminster/Broomfield landlords we're your next tenants!

It seems my wish of moving may becoming a reality. We’re close to signing a lease agreement with a family that would like to move in on July 1st. I’m truly excited by this, but also nervous. This means we have A LOT to do in just a few short weeks.
By going through with this, we’re taking a huge risk. We had hoped the house would sell. Houses on the streets around us have sat on the market for months so we knew our fastest option to move would be to rent, or even rent-to-own, the house. The family interested in the house wants to rent for a year and then possibly sign a new contract that would allow them to buy the house.
This only leaves us with the option of renting a house for ourselves. We haven’t been renters in about a decade. We have both owned houses since 2000 and 2001. To be renters while owning two homes is going to be odd. We’ll make the best tenants since we truly understand what it’s like for the landlord. Yet, we’re just so used to taking care of our homes and setting our own rules (like with pets) it will take effort to take a step back into the renter role.
We hope to find a landlord that is looking for a family to live in the house for at least two if not three years. We want stability for our family and don’t want to move every year until we’re able to sell one or both of houses and be able to purchase our own home. We want a house that we can call home as our family grows and gets older.
If you’re a landlord, or have found yourself in a position where you are considering renting your house because of the economy, consider our family as your tenants.
We hope our next house:
Yes, this entire post is to entice you to pick us - kind of like a cover letter. We offer you:
I hope to hear from you. If I don’t, just know that you may be forcing us to stay short-term with my mother-in-law while we search for you. I totally and completely love my MIL (rare, but true!) but in my pregnant state, moving twice in one summer just doesn’t appeal to me. Also she doesn't allow pets and husband won't go without the dog and I won't go without the cat!
We are the family for you!

We hope our next house:
- Will be in the Westminster/Broomfield area to be closer to family and for the school districts that will be best for the boys.
- Will have 4 bedrooms and at least 2 bathrooms.
- Will have a nice sized fenced backyard.
- Will allow one dog and one cat, both trained, friendly and fixed.
- Will have a two-car garage and basic amenities like washer, dryer, dishwasher, AC/or swamp cooler.
Yes, this entire post is to entice you to pick us - kind of like a cover letter. We offer you:
- On time monthly payment, as well as the required deposit/pet deposit.
- Care and upkeep of your investment property.
- Minimum 12-month lease with hopes of renewal or even to purchase your property.
- You’ll always be able to track us down as husband and I are so active with our websites and social media networks!

Misty Lou, Misty Jean, Mystical and even Extrafancy are just a few of the nicknames to which I answer. The most important names though are Wife, StepMom and, soon to be, Mom. With all these names it's sometimes hard to know who I am! This blog started as a Nebraska girl learning, trying, succeeding and failing at gardening in Colorado. Along the way in growing my garden, I grew my family too as I married a wonderful man and became stepmom to two precious boys. Now our family grows more as I'm pregnant. So here is all of me as I share my family, home and garden. BTW my middle name is Jennifer; my name is Misty Jennifer Montano.
