And people question my desire to move west...

Have those same people ever BEEN out west? I'm guessing not or else they like flat green countryside too much...
SO how does hubby feel about this *potential* move?

He's completely on board with the idea. Just waiting for the kid to graduate from high school first...5-1/2 years.

He's already started researching any potential move that he can make out that way and still stay with the same company he's been with for years (UPS).
We went out to Montana a few years back and fell in love with that area - right around Glacier NP - so that would probably be first choice right now. We're hoping to get out to Ouray next summer, so I might change my mind a few hundred times between now and when we actually move. Notice I did say 'when.'
SirSam - you won't even notice we're there...

I lived in the Phoenix area for 2 1/2 months while attending MMI. As for calling it home, not even if I were a lizard. Although I recommend a 1-2 week stay during MLB Spring Training. Especially if you're a Cubs fan.
I spent two months in Alaska. Great time, but not a place I would ever consider calling "home".
As for Colorado, I've only been to Denver once. Ranks near the top of my dissapointment list. I found it too dirty and boring.
Montana is nice. I have friends in Bozeman and Missoula. Beautiful country. I've spent time in GNP (below & above the treelines).
Southern California, been there many times. Have family & friends in coastal Orange and San Diego counties. My take, nice place to visit but you can keep it.
I would have to say of all places I've visited west of the Rockies, Lake Tahoe would be my favorite. Especially the South Lake Tahoe region. I could live there.
Another place I could live but the wife won't do it, would be Baja California, Mexico. The Baja penn is probably my favorite place(s) on earth.
But when it comes right down to it, aside from a White Christmas (and Christmas is not the same without snow), the winters blow here, especially if you live to ride as I do, but there is no more beautiful sunset, or better place to live during the summer, than "Sweet Home Chicago".
