One of the things I've been fretting about is finding a place to live in Colorado. It's EXPENSIVE and hard to find what you want. Lots of places are furnished, rent for only 4 months a year, don't allow pets, etc.
I spoke with my future boss yesterday and she said there's a teacher who is leaving and he has a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom townhouse, with a washer & dryer, and a garage. Can you believe it? My very own washer & dryer? The landlord will let me bring my kitty cat AND it's $150 less than other places I've been reading about... and it includes utilities. I'm going to check it out when I'm there next week.
