move to colorado

officially moving as of the 28th of July. I have my brother’s wedding to go to and that will be the 25th but the following week, i’m moving. I can’t wait and even though I don’t have a job yet, I will move anyway. It’s scary but, I know it needs to be done :)

I moved to Colorado to be with my then boyfriend/now husband. I had been living in South Africa, finishing university, but left it all to move out here.
It is truly beautiful, I am still amazed at the things nature comes up with every day. We have taken the most amazing hikes in the summer, long warm evenings outside our house sitting in the hammock drinking wine, stars like you’ve never seen.
But
It is hard to make a living here. We live and work in an ultra rich community where material wealth takes priority over all other things. I work all day all week so that we can barely make it.
I feel trapped in between the mountains, where is the freedom that I was supposed to have?
This is not where I want to be.
With the way the economy is right now, it seems better to hold on to any job you can get, but how long before I lose all my energy? I think my journey here has come to an end, it’s time to move on.
I just wonder what will happen to the cat?

Ever since I lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years as a kid, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of going back. It eats away at me almost every day without fail, and its honestly something you can’t explain unless a person shares a similar desire. I don’t know why God has placed this desire on my heart for the past 11 years since my family moved away, but all I want to do is move back.

I was 7 when I moved away in June of 1998, and am currently 18 and a second semester freshmen at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN, just east of Nashville. I am trying to line up an accounting internship with Vail Resorts at Keystone, and have been in contact with them but can’t actually apply for the actual internship until July. If all goes well, I am going to be a junior by this December when the internship begins and make the move then, and after the internship go to the Boulder/Longmont area and work for a year and then finish up school at University of Colorado, Boulder.

The weather is great, the landscape is gorgeous. Colorado is the place that I’m going for the next part of my life. I don’t really know how long I’ll stay, but I don’t plan on moving again for at least two years after I get there.

My wife and I can’t wait to got back up into the mountains. To wake up every morning and see the sun, to see it sink past the Rockies at dusk. The night life is calling, I can still here the music back at the clubs. The Great outdoors are sprawling and our adventurous spirits are drawn there.

I’m 20 and will be moving to Colorado soon, hopefully! I’m in college but I want to move there after graduation.

A friend and I are interested in moving from Buffalo, NY to the beautiful state of Colorado. I would like to go to school, he would like to start working. The two of us would share an apartment. I’m just getting started on researching the topic. I believe we would make the move in Fall 2009. :) looking for any advice, but further research and I plan on posting some questions. Thanks everyone! sheesh, that was long.

I’m 25 and determined to move to CO. I’ve been skiing there for 1-2 weeks at a time, every year since I was 10yrs old. Born and raised in Missouri, with my Bachelors in Finance. Single, no kids and wanting to spread my wings!

I’m currently employed as a District Sales Manager (outside sales) in the ASI/PPAI industry and love what I do, but need a change of scenery. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is finding a job! Denver area, or best offer..Any job opportunities or tips are very much appreciated! This may be a bit far fetched, but does anyone know how well ski instructors or ski patrol are compenstated?

Not that I want to “get the cart ahead of the horse” by figuring living arrangments before a job, but I would like a little inside info on living reccomendations. Any other useful knowledge also apprecited!

Thanks!
Marco

1 week till the Colorado move!!!

I am seriously thinking about moving to Colorado.
I’m 20 years old and have lived in Arizona and I am SICK of it!!!

Any advice on where in Colorado is the best place to live?

My profile says that I’ve already done this. I do not actually live in Colorado. I live in NorCal… It’s just that I really don’t like living here. I mean, even crazies wouldn’t believe the kinds of people that live in my town. Eh. I am trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy for myself. I learned about this at college—I took an interpersonal communication class. I am just trying to increase the likelihood of living in CO someday.
