This is a good lesson to learn, however have you had any bad experiences or anything like that involving history?

This is actually a bit of the opposite of my situation, I was raised mostly by my mother.

Arthadius this reminds me of myself as I have lived in multiple states as well, California, Colorado, Connecticut and Wyoming, however Florida, Texas and Colorado should be capitalized.

Have you ever lived anywhere else, or have you stated in Colorado your whole life?
