Tell me about Colorado

Thanks for the breakdown! That's great.

Chris and I talked last night. It's going to be a while till we can move (mostly because of the housing market), so it sounds like we're going to be on a similar timeline to you, Jannae. We just need to get out there to look around.

I live in Southwest Colorado. Six hours from Denver. But its very small! Durango is the biggest city next to me. My town actually has one stop light. Haha. So probably too small for you. I'm from Dallas though and I LOVE The small town feel. The town feels small and everyone knows each other. There is so much to do and it is a very active down. Most people walk or bike to work everyday. Very active lifestyle and very healthy. Alot of health shops and restaurants.

Colorado is awesome. I hope you find a great place!

I moved to Denver 4 years ago from the Dallas area and I love it here. We just bought a house in April and we plan to stay here for a while or maybe forever. I love the seasons and because the climate is dry the cold isnt that cold and hot isnt that hot. Plus the views are wonderful and the people are great here!

Also the economy here in Denver isnt bad like most other locations in the USA (but I guess that could always change no matter where you live)

Im so glad I found this thread! I've been looking online for places to honeymoon in Colorado. The FI has NEVER been skiing/snowboarding/tubing so I figured we could do the opposite of what most people do and head to the cold for our honeymoon! We live in Florida so the tropical thing is something we see everyday. Anyone know of any nice cabins or anything near a ski slope? Has to have a begginner slope haha.

Wish I could help you Island Bride, but believe it or not, I'm a CO native and I don't ski or snowboard! Well, I have before, but it's not something I enjoy. However, I would probably recommend either Keystone or Breck, just because they're only an hour or so from the city, and you could ski a few days, then explore around the city for a few days. I'm sure a skiier may have better advice for you.

I don't know how much you're into music, but I would definitely check out Red Rocks Ampitheater schedule for your time out there to see if you like anyone that's playing. It is absolutely beautiful there, one of many must see's in CO!
