3.Schools don't matter, we aren't planning on having children for a few years at least.
4.As for as employment goes, as long as it is close to someplace where my fiance can work in order entry or allocations or pretty much any job with his qualifications and be paid something in the 30k range. I guess we'd be looking for areas with distribution centers.(I work from home so I don't have to worry about a job)
5. Weather isn't super important as long as the winters aren't too severe.
6. Bonuses but not deal breakers,(AKA, while I'm dreaming) areas that are near colleges, independent theaters, have open minded liberal people. A climate with lots of sunshine and mild winters. It would also be nice if we could stay within a day's drive of our home towns which are in northeastern NJ.
Thanks in advance!

I just read this thread or I'd have answered before.... You have described Athens, GA, a pretty nice college town (UofG), good house prices, good weather though, like all Georgia, a bit (!) humid in summer, but mild winters. Google it, you'll no doubt like it. We've lived here exactly a year. It's close to ATL, to the Georgia mountains, to NC and SC. Good luck!
