I moved up to Idaho from so cal 4 years ago. Total night and day difference. I never look back. Wish I'd known there was something else besides the desert of Southern California. Now I live where there's 4 seasons that work like clockwork,people look out Fer one another, way lower crime,I don't have people begging for money in front of every store,and I can go fishing 5 minutes away from my home. Life kinda forced me here,and I'm glad it worked out this way.

In 1995 I was married and owned a home in Laguna Niguel near the Ritz Coast, a Porsche, a Range Rover and was making 250K/yr. Forward five years and a divorce, after having to sell the house, the cars and quitting the job. I found myself taking a ice bucket challenge shower, in an outhouse bathroom outside of my now Filipina wife's parents house, staring into a Philippine jungle in the pouring rain. I remember saying to myself....WoW how life can change. I've been married for 10 years and never happier.
