I'm ready for a change. I know this is strange but I want to move to Iowa. I know, everyone says "Why Iowa?". I can't really explain it except to say that I think it fits my personality. About 15 years ago, I went on a business trip to Des Moines. I flew into Omaha and met up with some co-workers and we drove the remaining 2 hours into Iowa. It was spring time. It drizzled a little as we were driving in but I thought it was beautiful. I know it's going to be humid in the summer and crazy cold in the winter.
Not that it explains why I want to move to Iowa, but it helps to understand that I've never really lived anywhere else besides Boulder, Denver, and Fort Collins. Every time we've considered somewhere else, we come back to how great it is here. And it is. We have a lot of family around. We live in a pretty good neighborhood in a pretty good house. We have good friends and decent schools here. I have a good job in Boulder. Life's pretty good. We're a little overextended financially for my personal comfort but all things considered, not bad. I just want a change.
So our next step is to sell our house in the spring. It's not exactly the best time to sell a house, but (knock wood) houses in our neighborhood are still moving. Lots to do to prepare. But we'll get there!
