Official residents of "California's Canada"

We went and got our Oregon driver's licenses today. They make you take the written test too so we had to study the booklet. We both got 93% (80% is passing) so we made it without any problems. We went ahead and registered to vote as well. It will be a refreshing change to be voting with the majority for a change. lol.

It looks like the house in New Orleans is sold. Barring any unforeseen problems we will close on May 12. We'll be flying back to New Orleans a week or so before hand to pack up what's left. We'll then be driving back (again!) across country.

Since real estate is more expensive here we are focusing on Salem, the state capital. It is about an hour south of Portland. It is possible to get a lot more house there for the money. It would be nice to be able to stay in Portland, but unless we both went back to work full time (ain't gonna happen!) we just can't afford anything in a decent size or neighborhood here.
