DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!!!!!!!

As a child, we get sick of everyone telling us what to do. We want to be able to decide for ourselves.

Then, when we become adults, and all the consequences of those decisions rest on our shoulders, it is no longer attractive.

Can't someone make the decision for me?!?!?!?

Where should we move to?

I want to move because I'm not really happy here in South Bend. Everything is so limited. For example, when I looked into boxing there was little to nothing available in this area; so then I started looking into becoming a yoga instructor and again very little if anything. Also it seems the cost is always higher because of the lack of supply.

And don't get me started on the lack of sunshine around this place. Today was a sunny one -- thank God! But normally we can go weeks at a time and never see it. I can't handle that.

So places we'd really consider moving to--

Colorado Springs, CO = We have a friend there (who used to live here) and he says if we visit we'll never leave. He loves it. It offers the 4 season (that Jesus loves) and 300 days of sunshine a year (which I love). Also the school systems have taken on a new way of paying teachers -- less seniority based, more merit based -- which I like.

Austin, TX = It's TEXAS (my home state), it's the music capital of the world (Jesus LOVES good live music), they have real Mexican food, it's a liberal minded city (like us), it's closer to my family. It's warm and sunshiny. I have a friend living there.

San Antonio, TX = It's TEXAS, they have real Mexican food, some of my family lives there, and it is closer to the rest of my family, it's warm and sunshiny.

Even though San Antonio has less of the things we want, it has family, and that is important to Jesus and I as we get closer to actually starting a family.

Any comments?

Glo, I am in Denver and there is a lot of real Mexican food here too. Almost 34% of the population is of Mexican ancestry.

Get out here while you're still young!

When we visited Texas I fell in love with San Antonio. I also really liked Texas in general.
