obviously provo.... everyone has expensive student loans they have to pay off, and it REALLY sucks, but still, everyone has them. And youll just end up coming back anyways cause youll miss people too much.. so maybe it would be good to move so that you can recognize how important your friends are even more.

Follow your heart.... thats what I do.

Denver, what would a semester hurt? If you hated it that bad you could always move back. It is always could to expand your horizons my dear.

I know how you feel. I have lived in Denver and plan to move back there, but not till after school or I get married, and since I don't think getting married will happen for a few years, I'm going to rely on school. I think you should stay in Utah my friend, you will be much more happy.

As much as I would HATE for you to leave I think in order to grow and find true happiness you have to take chances. You have to step outside your comfort zone. I had to do that many a times when I decided to move away. Sometimes it worked out, other times it didn't. But it didn't matter the outcome because in both situations I always ended up with tons of awesome new experiences.

I'm trying to stand on neutral ground for your sake because I could so easily be selfish and tell you to stay in Provo. I mean I do live in Orem now. We'd be so much closer. We could hang out more. And I love you like crazy and don't want you to move away. But what I want doesn't matter. It's all about you Sam. I think you've got a gut feeling about where you want and need to be. Go with that. We all have those feelings for a reason.

I do love you Sam and I only want you to be happy. You always say you never understand what I'm talking about. I hope you understand this comment.

i think i would lean for somewhere in UT
dude when you say not so awesome social possibilities you said it.. NOT so awesome!!

I am getting out of here the biginning of next month :)

if provo offers the best social opportunities, perhaps you need to consider an altogether new location

Screw it all and head to Idaho! It's cheap and easy!...much like the residents.

I jest.

Ignoring my previous anti-Utah comments, you should move in with us. Since Dustin decided to have a kid and get married (in that order) it'd be sweet if you moved in.

I think I already hate it from living here for 20 years. Wait, I take that back. I don't hate it. I just don't think it's for me anymore. At least for now.

where you going? California?

I know, it's sad - but for all the bad things about provo there are ALWAYS more people to meet. It's weird - even though 90% of them are lame that's a greater number of cool people than denver.

ahaha

How much?

Steamboat Springs :) !!

Yes, Utah has its quirks, but let's be honest everywhere does. You could go back to Denver, have cheap schooling, sit at home every Saturday night playing Battlefield 2 and eating Zingers... Ok, I digress. A social life is important, especially as a young single guy. And what about in state tuition? How hard is that to get now? Well, ultimately you have to do what's right for you, which may not be what's right for most other people. You might find some babe who totally loves all the same things you do right there in Denver, but then again you might be the guy getting kicked out of your singles ward because you turned 30 and the 19 year old girls are creeped out by you... ouch. So in other words, what I just wrote wasn't very helpful, but now I can feel better for imparting some useless cliched wisdom.

It's Neilbert

I think the 3 years I spent in Provo were some of the greatest years of my life. Then the time came that I felt a strong need to move it wasn't easy, but is anything that's important easy? I say you'll KNOW inside what to do. I also don't know why you're limited to Utah or Denver maybe you just need an invite. Come visit Arizona. Just kidding although you or any onewho wants to is welcome. I'm sure you'll do whats best for you as long as you're brave about following your heart.

))(( Oh and I really want to be in the Gang!!!!!!
