Decisions



Deciding where to live, is one of the hardest things we have had to deal with in a while. Weighing the pros and cons of each location, thinking about the things we will miss, the things we love, the things we hate.
The Wasatch Mountains are beautiful in the summer and winter.
Mt Hood is a huge looming guardian of the Portland metro area.
Skiing, hiking, mountain biking, snow shoeing, and such are so close here in Utah, and if we bought a house in Heber City the mountains would be our back yard playground.
The live music scene in the PNW (pacific northwest) is mind blowing. The jazz and blues musicians that come out of that area are some of the best you will ever hear.

So this is where we are at. Nothing is set in stone, we are planning for both, we are leaving it up to fate.

I am going nuts..

I know, I just posted that Portland countdown timer...now things might be up in the air again...life is just mean that way.
The number one thing keeping us here, is the fact that the mountains happen to be in our back yard...well not literally, but 10 minutes away...we love the accessibility.
We can go snowshoeing, XC skiing, back country ski touring, skijouring with our dogs, hiking, and mountain biking, and it is all so close.
In Portland, we have to drive to all of this. Sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes an hour+.
All comments are greatly appreciated.
