The first issue we've had to face when choosing to move is deciding where. My husband works from home, so we really could live anywhere in the country. Our ideal place would have the following:

• Mild climate (not too hot, not too cold)
• Inexpensive housing
• Colleges/universities (to provide cultural & educational events)
• Theaters, museums, other cultural activities
• Smaller population, but not so small everyone knows eachother
• Near mountains and lakes
• Easy drive to an airport (since hubby does travel for work once in a while)
• Easy driving distance to family in AZ
• Friendly homeschooling laws

Last summer, we considered moving to Cedar City, Utah. It has all these amenities and is a very friendly place. But we eventually decided against it due to its lack of a Target (I really dislike shopping at WalMart, the only major store in town) and the weather (which ended up being colder than we initially thought), among other issues.

We found this awesome 4 bedroom house there that we absolutely fell in love with. If only we could pick it up and transport it somewhere else! We haven't ruled out Cedar City completely, but mainly because we love the house, not because we love the town.

Cities that remain on our list: Prescott or Payson in AZ
