I’ve been researching for about a year. I got licensed in Idaho and Colorado. I’ve just been watching indeed.com

That's one hell of a change.

Looks like a beautiful area.

I’ve never been to Idaho but I’ve been everywhere else in the region. There is just something about the West that draws me.

Yeah, but check this shite out.

This house has a BAR in it. Also a commercial kitchen and dining room. Actually I think it has served dual purposes as a restaurant.

In the summer, you'll wonder why everyone doesn't live there.

In the winter, you'll get your answer.

That is absolutely a my style bed and breakfast. I would love that. I have seriously looked at homes with commercial buildings when we move. Squirrel's antique shop may be my new endeavor.

Even January averages 36/26. That's right up my alley although I realize not everyone would enjoy that.

I'd take that in winter for the 80 degree summer days all day.

Yeah, it isn't Minnesota. Not for a lot of southern folk but it's not that bad.

Friend of ours did the exact same thing and picked the exact same states. But he has no wife and kids. And hasn't secured a new position yet that I know of.

I spent some time in Boise earlier this year. Nice enough place with a lot of outdoors stuff near enough (might be a bit of a drive but some fun stuff).

It's gonna be cold.

10 day forecast on weather.com

Also, make sure you understand and expect occasional earthquakes. Usually not that big but my mother was in Boise and was shocked when one happened because she wasn't expecting it.

I'm looking to move to Washington State, or the surrounding states by next summer. I feel this.
