Help! I'm moving to Denver, any advice on relocation?

Okay, so I have to move to Denver by the end of October 2011.

My wife and I, along with our cat, will need to move from East Texas to Denver, CO and get new jobs, a place to stay, the whole nine yards.

Fortunately we have a bit of family support for the move, including a good portion of the finances. What I need help with is the actual relocation.

My primary concern is getting into a residence, not only from 1000 miles away, but also without having a job.

Does anyone have any advice on the logistics of such a move and setting down roots (new home, new job, getting settled in) from East Texas three months before moving?
