Colorado Springs is such a beautiful place and I am blessed to live and work here . Would you like to know more about Colorado Springs? Are you interested in the different neighborhoods? School districts? Do you own or rent? Please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
If you have questions about Ft. Carson or Peterson Air Force base I'll have answers for you as well. We retired in 2012, which actually seems like yesterday, and prior to that I owned a very popular blog that specifically dealt only in PCSing! Just contact me via email, FB or Twitter, I will get back with you as soon as I can.
