I honestly can't think of a better place to live. I grew up in Canada went to school in Idaho & Utah and have lived in Colorado 11 years. You get all the seasons - none of them too extreme, it's always sunny, lots of fun outdoor activities and people are so great here! I'm in Highlands Ranch and it is a great place to raise a family. I think you will love it here! <br><br>PS I'm Shauna G's friend and I also have a Finn (he's 3). Sounds like maybe Highlands Ranch? Look forward to meeting you!Tamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13914635443911088815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094072069524784229.post-81947474855602945112010-02-20T15:36:30.437-08:002010-02-20T15:36:30.437-08:00Brittany,Very exciting that you're coming to D...Brittany,<br>Very exciting that you're coming to Denver. You will love it! I live in Parker which is about 25 minutes southeast of Denver.

When people ask me where I'm from I always hesitate – Oregon or Colorado? I love both equally. I grew up by Washington Park and favor the old bungalows and neighborhoods surrounding it.

We lived in the Hale/Crestmoor neighborhood which is really close to downtown(5min)and has lots of families, great schools and an awesome community. I grew up in Highlands Ranch which is nice if you love the suburbs (about 40 min south of downtown). Grandma still lives there and we visit at least once a year when the rain gets us down.
