Living here in Portland has been so good for my family! We came here because of my husband’s new job and though I thought the kids would have a harder time adjusting than they did but they actually really seem to like it here. What I like best is that we are eating much better, lots of fruits and vegetables, and we get outside and exercise more than we ever did back in Arizona. It is because the weather is better in the other parts because it's such a biking culture here and everyone just walks or rides bikes everywhere they go. My kids love it because it's more freedom than they had back home. I got the house all set up though it feels like our old one with a Portland direct tv connection and even the furniture from our old house. We even painted the den the same color as it was in Phoenix so the kids wouldn't get too homesick! I think we're really going to like it here in Portland.
