'I am glad, I thought I was just crazy. Are you looking to move to CO as well?'

Hi Shock - Yes, we're in the same boat. My wife went to DU and then lived in Denver for 10 years before I met her out here. She introduced me to Colorado and I've been in love ever since. I'm looking very hard for the job to get me there this year. We prefer living nearer a ski resort, but we don't make that kind of cash. Being along the front range seems like a very nice compromise.

Nowhere is perfect, but the area around Boulder has a lot going for it. We were there at Thanksgiving, but ran out of time to do a proper impression of Louisville, Broomfield, etc.. Like you, I love seasons and changing weather. There is a lack of trees, being originally from the Midwest I miss, but you've got those mountains right there. I want to hear your impressions, if you'll share them with us.

I am definitely going to share the impressions.

The COL is Boulder won't be better than CA.
