We lived in the Willamette Valley area in Oregon for 22 years and it feels like we are moving home, or at least closer. Far less hectic than our crazy life in Chicago-land! My husband is nervous about carrying two mortgages for awhile, but we can't afford not to take advantage of this sweet deal! Here is hoping this all works out! We are so excited!

Taxes, we live in Illinois! LOL yes, much cheaper than what we have been paying that's one big reason we are leaving here! We left Oregon just about 12 years ago and I guess we have gone full circle and going home now.

And if you fall behind on your state taxes here, the interest penalty is 100% of the taxes owed. So if you are behind, lets say 20 grand......your penalty is 20 grand plus anything else they wanna add on.

Have a 'Sparkling Day' in Central Oregon!
That is what the Weatherman(on TV) says every day. I would love to live there and here in Pennsylvania. Can't afford two houses.
Edited to add: Do we really want the whole world to know how beautiful Central Oregon is?
