I know I don't post here very often, but quick life update? In 2012 we moved up to the Seattle area. 4 years ago my mother-in-law moved in with us, and we've all been wanting more space since then. Seattle's housing market is crazy though, and that was never going to happen there. After considering all the options (and holing up due to Covid for 2 years), we finally decided to make the move back down south to be closer to family in California, have more daylight in the winter, less rain, etc. So! We sold our house and moved down to Ashland, Oregon! It's four hours from my folks, 4 hours from my husband's dad, 6 hrs from San Francisco, has an international airport, a Mediterranean climate, and is basically a liberal hippy retirement community.
Loving it so far. Please accept this duck from the park today.
