You got it! Congratulations and I am very happy to hear of your plans! You know there's a spot for you in Western Colorado and it does meet most of your requirements, even if I have slightly different preferences than where we are at...I can still recommend it!

SueB! Thanks for the info on Durango and Pagosa Springs. Don't know if we can make it, but I love those areas. My sisters graduated from Ft. Lewis. If you ever find youself near the Grand Valley, give us a holler.
