I'm pretty sure Denver is a whole time zone away from the Midwest. I know a few people who have lived there and they have said it's kinda lame for young people. 320 days of sunshine isn't bad, though.
+1 for finding the job first. I made a rule that I wouldn't have a commute over 45 min when I lived there. I kept most of mine under 30 minutes, which helped massively.
Also, downsize what you think you need on living space. Spend your free time out of the house doing things. We went from 2900 sqft in Ashburn to 1900 in walking distance of things and are much better off... even with one more person in our family now. All a young single guy needs is a bed, shitter, and beer fridge.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
