Axel Lloyd and Kaylie Kierstead held their housewarming party on April 9.
The couple had closed on their Avon condo on March 22 and were excited about getting past one of the snags to success in Eagle County obtaining a place to call their own.
Two days after the housewarming party, Lloyd and Kierstead were living out of a hotel room. A fire devastated the Sunridge apartment complex on April 11.
