In 2020 lucas and I signed a lease to a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in a little neighborhood in denver called lowry. it was covered in windows and overlooked a courtyard and was the place we brought our first baby home to. 5 months into us being there lucas quit his serving job and embarked on his job of selling medical software… from home. his desktop computer and keybord was on our dining table, which was also basically our kitchen, which was also our living room. I remember lennox and I talking lots of walks or going into our bedroom so that we didn’t interrupt lucas on his calls. needless to say, we quickly realzied that we needed a bigger place and that we really wanted to buy a house. insert halley zadeyan. we hopped on a zoom call with her and another one of her team members and instantly connected. and that zoom call started our 6 month long relationship with halley as our realtor. this was at the height of the housing market craze. We were so excited and hopeful to find the perfect starter home that was in a decent neighborhood, generally clean and updated, and with a yard that we could play in. by the time we hit month 2 of searching, we realized that we were buying during the most insane time. i wish i could show you guys what zillow looked like back then. I mean a 900 sq ft 2 bedroom shithole built in 1920 was going for $500,000 it was looking bleek. But thank god we had halley because she always came through with optimism and trust and resources and homes that were more our speed. finally, in the summer of 2021 we stumbled upon our home. 4 beds, newly renovated, huge backyard. and on move in day, we arrived to our new house to find a cute little doormat already placed outside our front door and a brand new set of carraway pots and pans.
