Colorado Bound

As many of my friend know, D. and I have been struggling with where to live for a very long time. Luckily, I think this may be coming to an end. We have decided to move to Boulder, Colorado. I already feel that Rocky Mountain High. No, but seriously, I do have a laundry list of concerns. They are as follows:
  • No significant body of water within 1000 miles. Everywhere I have lived in my life, has been on the edge of some large body of water - either the ocean or a great lake. I like water, it relaxes me. I know I have the Rockies here, but I just don't know if it will feel the same.
  • The prices. Who knew Colorado would be so expensive? To be perfectly honest, Boulder is the most expensive place (with the expectation of CB, Vail, Aspen etc), so I hope we can find a home. If I wanted to live in a condo - I would have stayed in Chicago.
  • The ex factor. Can I really deal with that and her putz of a husband for the rest of my life. Vodka give me strength.
  • The hippies. Seriously, I gag at the smell of patchouli. It's gross.
  • The sunshine. I like the sun... but it's dreary and rainy here this week and I love it!!
I'll keep everyone posted on how house hunting day 1 goes.
