We moved 3 times for my husband's job. None of the places worked for us, so we took matters into our own hands.

We moved for job opportunities several times, but after having two children, we realized it was time to find a place we wanted to be for the long term. For us, it's Denver.

When my now-husband, Zach, and I got engaged in February 2015, we were living in the San Francisco Bay Area in a one-bedroom apartment we rented for over $2,000 a month.We both had family there and loved everything the Bay Area had to offer, but when we began looking to buy a condo or townhome, it was clear that affordability would be an issue for us.Everything in our price range was so far removed from where we both worked that the commute alone would have made our lives miserable.As we contemplated the reality of buying in the Bay Area, Zach was offered a promotion that would take us to Charlotte, North Carolina.After a quick visit, we decided to take a chance on a new place where we could buy a home and build a life together.We prioritized work for several moves, but we wanted something more once we started a family

We changed our minds about living in Charlotte around the time we decided to start a family.
