Mi Dispiace Ma...

...La Famiglia Colabella will be relocating.

I have been out here for about 18 months and the wife has been here just over a year. After this amount of time, we have decided that we just can't take it anymore. The city sucks, the mountains suck, the people suck, we don't have any friends here, etc. etc.

Actually, that is all a lie. I have very little desire to move back to Oklahoma. I have created some great relationships out here with my trading buddies Armstrong and Batzel. Even though I didn't get to spend much time with Skylar, I will certainly miss his crazy ass, and look forward to continuing business with him until we are both satisfied with the results. Of course, the biggest loss lies with Benjamin, and The Carters. They are my three (and a half) of best friends in the world, and it is sad to leave them. The dark side of the force is already beckoning them home. Having said that, we are getting back Adam, Ray, and Matt and Payton.

The subtraction of mountains and addition of allergies are certainly reasons to hang one's self. Also, I will miss Mad Greek as I do not believe that an acceptable substitute awaits in Green Country.

But there are two things I will be happy to leave. Bad religion and bad food. Don't get me wrong, Mormons are some of the kindest people I have ever met, but holy shit they are nuts! Unfortunately, their ethical and moral "skills set" has affected (destroyed) the culture of the city and have made it the most bland existence EVER. However, trading them for Southern Baptists is kind of like trading cigarettes for smokeless tobacco.

The big upside is cost of living and food. Taco Bueno, Mazzio's, Braum's, Ron's, Cheddar's, Charleston's, Bennigan's, and the list goes on. The cost of a regular house built 50 years ago in Utah is probably around 220k. In Tulsa, you can get there for about 128k.

In Tulsa, we will be shopping for a house. The Wife will start work, and I will continue trading. I will be back in Utah soon for a little while to wrap up things there and get the Land Rover. Until then, all of our contact information remains the same.

Hopefully now, it is clear why this is my first post in about 3 weeks. We have had quite a bit on our plate. I will continue to be hit and miss for a little bit longer, but hope to get back in the groove of regularity soon. I will be back.

We cleaned off our outdoor furniture today and it made me sad :(

And in regards to your Bueno comment on my blog: you can just kiss my butt.

Yes.. between the food and the housing... and the bribing we are doing people to hire the Carters.. I think Tulsa is the place to be :)
