Blessed to be living here

I can't explain really why moving here from So. Cal last November was like coming home. The beauty of this area is unbelievable but I really don't like the desert. The sound, the mountains, the capital building all views from the same spot downtown.The people are amazingly friendly, loving, giving and appreciate the city for the most part. No one we know can believe how fast we made friends and fit in, like there was no searching. The neighborhoods, unlike where we came from are friendly and people wave to you and if you have a need are right there asking if they can help. Yes there are a few odd ones, mostly the extreme liberal viewed college kids that make youthful mistakes once in a while and the protestors who have nothing better to do, but overall we will never move from here if we can help it. The rents are still cheaper than CA, the taxes about the same, but still no state income tax.The farmers market has the best organically grown vegies and meats and fish around. The seafood is awesome. The library system is great. Plenty of volunteer positions and jobs in the area. Really heaven on earth.
