We are getting ready to GRADUATE and start working soon and we have been trying to decide where is the world to live and raise our family. It definitely hasn't been an easy decision and we haven't even made it final yet,but what do you all think about COLORADO (most likely Denver area). What have you experienced or heard about it, good or bad. I want to hear what you all have to say. Brady is there right now doing more interviews and hopefully soon we will have some definite plans for our future but for now let me know what you think.

Wow! The end of the tunnel! That's just awesome. And Rebecca, you are so about to have a baby!! I can't believe it's so close! Good luck with everything and above all, Congratulations! So. Colorado. We'd love for you to move to Atlanta, but I have a few family members who live and have lived there and they all love it! Good luck with all the interviews and finding a new home guys!

First of all good luck with the baby. I can't wait to see some pictures. Your kids are so cute. I personally think you guys should move back to Rexburg! Although I have heard nice things about Colorado. Good Luck! Thank you for praying for Kaylee. That means a lot!

Oh wow, such a hard decision. We felt the same way as you guys this time last year. I have heard good things about Colorado, and it is sure beautiful there. I have just heard the crime right in Denver is bad. We wish you guys the best and good luck with your baby. You look so beautiful and I hope all goes well for you. Don't let the stress overwhelm you, even though it's tough right now. Keep in touch and if you need any advice feel free to call me. My cell number is the same, but if you don't have it Joy and Jamie do.

I am soooo excited that you guys are thinking about Colorado. You have my vote for sure!! You should definitely move here!!! We would love to have friends nearby.We live in a small area about 2 hours from Denver. I would love any excuse to get out of our little town for a daytrip. Keep me posted on what you decide. And if you want to talk about Colorado feel free to email me at indplsjones@hotmail.com. Congrats on your new little one. Can't wait to see her!!

Colorado is a awful place. I think that is a horrible idea. I hear they have the largest percentage e-cons per capita than any other state. Teen pregnancy is out of control and only 2% of high schools students even graduate due to the terrible teaching and education program. Just a little tip - I hear Indiana is the #1 place to raise a family???? Just something to think about. John

By the way I hope Brady doesn't find a job in Colorado and that his trip was a waste. Hey, I hear they're several places here in Indianapolis that are interviewing????? John

Wow 7 days until baby!!! Good luck hope all goes well!! Rachele lives in Ft. Collins and loves it and Shauna's brother lives in I think Colorado Springs which is a little ways away be he seems to like it but he also came from Chicago which I loved mostly cause Chad is there!! I also have some friends that just moved to Denver and they like it too so I guess it's probably like any town it has it's goods and bads. The Lord will take you where you need to be!!

I have no opinion on Denver itself. I do, however, love the fact that it's only a few hours away from me and I'd be able to come over and visit once in a while.

I have only visited Denver once--it was nice. I love Colorado itself, so beautiful. Steam Boat Springs, Estes Park--Not too far from Denver and they are really nice. But Scenery really doesn't make a move decision for you so good luck. I do like that it is a lot closer then where you curently live:)

How exciting and Baby is coming soon. I wish you the best in making such a big decision, no matter where you go you will make the best of it. I have heard traffic and crime in Denver make it a tough place to live but everyone who I know who has lived in other places through out Colorado loved it.

Hey Becky. YOu are so close I can't wait to see pics of your sweet new baby. AJs parents live in CO and love it there. I have only been there once and it is probably the most beautiful state I've been to. Country feel but has everything you need. Good luck. Keep in touch
