Good morning Marcus & family. Not sure if you are still living in Pasadena as I just came across this today-10/8/2009-however if you are up for a bit of an elevation change & snow that melts and does not stay on the ground for too long then I truly believe that you all would love being in CO. CA is my home state so I know exactly what you are saying about the prices and overall cost of living. The sun is out almost all year long here. No matter the weather. CO is an arid desert-tends to be dry. Out door activities abound here. And then some. Not sure if you all choose to remain in a suburb type setting but this is also avaibale to you all throughout the various counties in Denver and or the Metro area; as well as in the foot hills and up north in Fort Collins. Much lower cost of living in CO. Good paying jobs-whether you need professional career settings or part/full timne work. I truly believe that you all will thrive here. It is truly beautiful here in the Rocky Mountains. Four glorious seasons abound every year. When you can afford the time and money you should consider taking a trip here to CO. This is a state where people have a healthy, happy, out doorsy/sport loving attitude. Great schools. Lots to do for all ages ranging in price from free to set amounts for a plethora of activities. Beautiful parks here as well. CO is definitely not CA but you will notice some similarities. God bless you all, I hope you all find just the right area for all of your needs wherever that may be!

Praying that all is still well for & with you. Have you considered returning to CO? You have lived here before, so you know exactly what to expect. There have been some rather great upgrades & improvements to various parts of CO of late. God bless you and yours no matter where you decide to move to or stay. Keep your chin up and just smile. Don't forget to "bless all their little hearts" for their rudeness. Have a great deal of family in TX & OK. Understand completely what you are talking about. Southern hospitality has nothing to do with "catty" rudeness. Do not let them get the best of you-they do not deserve it. We would love to have you back in CO if it is the right fit for your life at this time. Prayerfully yours, Amanda Elizabeth Crump
