Washington My Home

It has been quite awhile since our last post, and quite a lot has happened in that time. Early in the spring Erin and I started exploring the idea of selling out house.  We loved our current house, and when we moved in, we thought we would be here for along time, but things change.  A few of the reasons we decided to sell our house and move: 1.  Schools:  You can start by reading this blog posted about a year ago.  Things have only gotten worse with no signs of getting better.  Oregon schools, especially Portland Public are just not up to our standards. 2.  Affordability:  When we purchased our house, we did not factor in children, child care and everything that comes with it.  I was making over double what I make now, and if we wanted to have another child, and to actually go on a vacation every once in while, we needed a smaller house payment. 3.  Costs of living:  Erin and I both work in Washington.  The schools are better, there is no income tax, housing is less expensive,
