Transplanted from Florida more than 18 months ago, homeowners Heather and Ray Mundy and their boys immediately embraced Colorado, leaving behind the humidity and palmetto bugs, for snow, high altitude and small-town living. Moving from just outside Cocoa Beach, Florida, to Colliers Hill has been a bit of an adjustment for the Mundy family – and one they have enthusiastically embraced!
“The first year was interesting, getting used to the snow,” says Heather. “That was the biggest adjustment for me — not so much for the kids.” She and her husband Ray have two boys, Jackson, 14 and Davis, almost 12 and moved from Cocoa Beach, Florida 18 months ago.
“My husband works for Medtronic in Boulder and when we came out the first time looking for homes with our realtor, we found a house in Longmont,” Heather says. The Mundys put down a deposit but Ray told the realtor to keep looking.
“Let’s see if there’s anything else out there,” he said.
