As you may have figured out, I am in Colorado this week.

I came out for a few reasons, to see DCM, who moved out here two weeks ago, to be exact. He moved to be near and local to the company he works for, Clean Energy Collective, http://www.easycleanenergy.com/. He started the company with a friend of his four years ago this June and had been working as a second job when I met him at the company we both worked for. Last January he was told it was a go and he could quit his day job and turn his “hobby” (he loves what he does so much, it’s not work, it’s a hobby) into a full time job, making his dreams a reality. Well, aside from meeting me, of course! I am so proud of all he does and what he has accomplished.

The other reason I came out to Colorado was to go with DCM to look for a place to live, yes, I said look for a place to live! When people have been asking me why I’m making the move to Colorado, my answer is, “I’m following a boy!” Tee hee hee.

In answer to your next question, yes, I am able to do my job in Colorado, thankfully! I work from home and if I need to, I can go in, we can discuss my job later.

So, the process of elimination…as I mentioned one of the reasons I came out to Colorado was to look for a place to live. DCM is living in the corporate apartment right now and planning to move at the end of the month and I’m planning on moving out here at the end of May, so we need a place for him to go and me to live when I get here! I like his truck, and I’m all about “car camping” but not car living!

We have to take several factors into consideration, DCM’s office is in Boulder and if things change for me and I get another job, will it be in Boulder, or Denver even, so we have to think about how far I might have to drive as well as how far will it be to drive to Boulder for DCM, wherever we live.

One of our goals this week is to check out different areas to see where we may or may not want to live. We found a few places to check out and when we went to look at those cities, we decided very quickly that we didn’t want to live there, so check one thing off our list.

It’s great to be with someone who has similar likes and dislikes, opinions, that are similar and differ and has opinions, and most importantly agrees on the standards that we want to live by, it helps in so many ways. For now, this is a place we are going to be for at least a year so we need to be happy and comfortable in our decision.

Wish us luck this week, hoping to find a place to “come home to” in a few months. And a place for you to visit!
