Yes we get a lot of rain in the winter but the furthere north it is snow. <br /><br />I myself prefer the snow to stay where it belong, on the mountains where I can go visit. The Willamette Valley is where I grew up, down near Eugene but is not such a bargain these days. The tax income tax situation is horrible.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685811575079221465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507242813966401764.post-20915282007360164262009-07-31T19:36:27.911-05:002009-07-31T19:36:27.911-05:00Don't know if it's too late for you to rea...Don't know if it's too late for you to read this, but I love living out of the city. I moved from NY to a small town in NH and it's great. Found out there's a community of artists in my town and we're able to create events and network together (not so easy in a big town where you become anonymous!) <br />It's affordable and peaceful to live and raise kids here, too... tamdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727285004604363601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507242813966401764.post-8743594759190074542009-06-17T11:47:42.377-05:002009-06-17T11:47:42.377-05:00Thanks so much for all the suggestions and insight...Thanks so much for all the suggestions and insight! For now, my husband will continue to look at maps every night and dream until the baby is born, but after that, we are seriously looking into moving out of the big city - at least that is the plan. You've given us a lot to think about. And, thanks to Jill too who emailed me about her wonderful area in Wisconsin!

We live in The NEtherlands now and my husband and I made the conscious decission of moving to the country side.

This is the lush valley running from Portland down to Eugene, which is about 100 miles to the south. <br /><br />We get four real seasons with a mild winter (it really doesn't rain as much as our reputation has you believe,) relatively dry summers, no mosquitoes...

Personally I couldn't imagine living too far away from mine, but I have some friends with toxic families that just need to get away from them. It doesn't sounds like yours is like that though. <br /><br />I grew up and currently live inLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761646176240326058noreply@blogger.com
