Think of it as an adventure. You both have thought this through and planned accordingly. You will find the right something for you once you are there. Worst case scenario you pick up an odd job while you are job hunting. To me, it sounds rather exciting. You and your BF moving, not having to worry about young children. Enjoy this time in your life. It goes by all too quickly. Oh, I hope that did not come across as depressing. I love my life (well besides the stroke and TIAs). I just meant having a house, 3 dependent children, and many other lists of things) keeps us from moving back to a lovely state. Enjoy Colorado!! Enjoy this time in your life. Everythig will fall into place. You could always get a temp job teaching snowboarding.
