Best Decision I Ever Made

As a software consultant, I have traveled to many states/countries over the years, and often take vacation in the southwest U.S., mostly in Colorado. I have moved from a small rural community in Ohio to northcentral Colorado a little over a year now.
It took me nearly twenty years to move my family to this beautiful state. My only regret is that I wished I had done this sooner. The quality of life is second to none here in the picturesque state. Abundant wildlife can be seen just about anywhere you venture to. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, combined with breathtaking views in the mountain, canyon and valleys, it's a clear reminder of why I moved my family here in the first place.
Another thing about northcentral Colorado is that it is conveniently located geographically from many national parks and monuments in the neighboring states like Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and South Dakota. All are easily within 6-8 hours drive, and ideal for long weekend trips or vacation.
Today, when I travel across the U.S., I am thankful each time I return home from a business trip, and enjoy Front Range view enroute to northern Colorado. There is no doubt in my mind that I have made the best decision in my life by moving here.
A word of advice for those who are contemplating on moving: It pays to do countless hours of research and homework prior moving, especially when one has to consider for job, school, family and community. Best of luck on your endeavors.
