    sunshineintheforest replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in Colorado

    Thanks for the response. Well one of the reason we plan to move is because my husband is applying to Red Rock CC for the physician assistant program, so he won't be working. I suppose we can live anywhere as long as it is someplace he can commute to...
