I'm grateful where I'm from too, but it just goes from mountains to flatness. Those mountains out there are double the size of these, man it was wild. To go from mountains that are at their highest 5,000 feet here to over double that was just crazy.

The ocean being close, and just the enormousness of the land are the main reasons I would live out there. Have Mexico pretty close to, which can be great if you know where to go and how to get around safely. I love seeing new things and places. Also, I would only live in Arizona or southern Colorado. Other than those two states, I'd rather stay here.

I never have cared that we don't have a mall or stuff like that. I care more for the outdoors, so if I do end up moving back west, I'll probably live in a small town alot like home. More comfortable in that type of environment, more peaceful and it seems like the people are nicer. I want to be able to take my kids to the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Sanora, natural wonders like that, without spending a crap load of money, haha. No man-made wonder can even compare to the natural wonders we have in the country, at least to me it doesn't.
