If you need to work, Oregon has a very tough job market.

Hi Firebird - LO is good - she just turned 2!!!! I can't believe it. It happens so quickly. Money grows so slowly... babies grow so quickly you can hardly stand it!
How is baby bird?
She's fantastic Such a great baby. Her babbling is coming closer to actual speech with each passing day and it's incredibly entertaining. I can't wait until she starts talking but I'll miss the babbling.
I'm not great with babies so I actually like the fact that she's getting bigger fast - but don't worry, I'm savoring too. I already get nostalgic looking at her baby pictures!
Are you guys planning trip or anything out West where you could check out some of the cities you're thinking about?
Yes, but we have to narrow it down first and organize the time off from work and all that. We'll probably have a week, MAYBE two, so we need to know exactly which ground we're trying to cover in that limited timeframe.
She did say that housing is super cheap, but the public school system seems spotty and if she has kids she will probably feel she has to do private school.
Ah, that's super important. Thanks.
IF you do end up checking out Madison (or LaCrosse), let me know and I'll meet you for lunch or something. I know there are at least 5 regular posters in Wisconsin. We really should do a meet up in 2014...
Yes please
Back then, the LDS influence was everywhere and there were some fairly weird laws. Our neighbors even had the courage to ask us to neither smoke or drink outside our house as they were offended by our actions. <Will not repeat what I said to them>
HAHAHAHAHA. Okay, we definitely can't live somewhere people are offended by drinking.... *mentally adds that to requirement list*
Anyway, I don't think we'd ever live in SLC. I visited there recently - it was nice and the people we met were lovely, but we could never live there. DH and I aren't religious so we need a place that's okay with that (but also has a significant Catholic community for my parents).

I've heard that, which is a bummer since I really like that state.
