Random update - Moving to Colorado - 2 Month count down.
11 years ago
Well, 2 months to go before we move out to Colorado Springs, CO. We have reserved a moving truck and a trailer for my Mustang. I am not going to tow it behind on a dolly, too many things can go wrong.
Spending the rest of my time trying to research temporary housing in the Springs... The idea is to move out into a tiny little studio apt for a few months, get situated and get a feel for the area then jump into an actual house of our own. What I am finding though, there are dirt cheap 4-500$ places but they are in areas we have been warned to avoid. Having left places like Detroit and Columbus behind me, I've found a certain peacefulness in not hearing gunshots at night.
Maybe I am being too picky, its only for a few months so I really should not care very much. I kinda do though. Meh, California has had a larger affect on me than I'd care for. The fear of having my car broken into, stolen, keyed, breathed on wrong... is pretty high. :P
Ahh well... If everything goes as planned, 6 months from now... We will be settled in a nice cozy home in northern Colorado Springs, looking back on this stress with a happy sigh.
I really cant wait to move. Colorado looks so beautiful, I hear theres potential for storm chasing as well. :)

OP
due to the move and starting a job it is unlikely that I will be at Anthrocon. I will be at RMFC though

Good luck you two! Once you're settled I'm totally coming for a visit to help you break the place in. (And by "break the place in" I mean I'll bring you a potted succulent and maybe a set of dishtowels.)

I second this notion!

Extreme good luck to both of you! Check your notes, especially if you'll be passing through AZ(which I guess I hope you are, as the alternative is mormania).

Very good that you're researching instead of diving headfirst into things, especially when the actual house that you wind up looking into will be a VERY long term investment.

Will miss you guys, but I totally understand. This place is has been my home for life, but Cali ain't for everyone.

Similarities in political policy?
