Our house needs updated in a huge way but that&#8217;s expensive (even when you do it yourself) and takes time.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s a must for us because if we ever want to sell this house we have to update it.\u00a0 Otherwise no one will buy it in its current condition. And yes that&#8217;s right, Scott and I want to move eventually (right now).\u00a0 Our dream has always been to move more out west.\u00a0 We want mountains and forests and outdoor activities and liberal-minded people!\u00a0 Ultimately we would like a house with a good bit of land attached to it and neighbors that we cannot see or hear.\u00a0 That is the dream, people.<\/p>\n<p>And the truth is Ohio was never ever meant to be a permanent home and we aren&#8217;t looking for it to be one.\u00a0 It was a stopover.\u00a0 And we are totally not getting any younger (and sadly neither is Rocky) so why wait?\u00a0 Live the dream, right?\u00a0 So all this organizing and cleaning and everything you hear me talking about is so that I can someday move outta here! <img src='\/images\/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' \/>\u00a0 Plus we just have a lot of crap and it needs to go.\u00a0 Any suggestions on places west, PacWest, that we should put on our consideration list?\u00a0 Colorado sure is pretty.\u00a0 Portland sounds amazing.\u00a0 What else?\u00a0 Talk to me folks!\u00a0 Here&#8217;s the criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must have mountains<\/li>\n<li>Plenty of outdoor activities that we don&#8217;t have to travel 50miles to get to<\/li>\n<li>Snow would be nice but not a total requirement (maybe.
