Steve and I live in Southern Oregon, outside of Medford, which has all of the necessities we can't live without from our earlier life in San Francisco...Costco, Best Buy, Safeway, and a nice movie theater, as well as a real theater with lots of wonderful performances to see if we have the time and money to go.
However, the most important reason we moved here was the beautiful area, rural environment, low population compared to San Francisco, and slower overall pace. Our home looks out on the Table Rocks, a landmark here which seems amazing to have within sight. Our home sits on 26.5 acres of oak, madrone and manzanita forest and meadows, and is home to a countless variety of wildlife. We have very few neighbors close by, and minutes go by between cars driving by. It's ideal for cycling, hiking or running, and with exception of the extremely hot and cold periods during the year, the weather is perfect and gorgeous.
We moved here before we were serious WoW addicts...why, we hadn't discovered raiding yet! Before that, we were a lot more active, and enjoyed outdoor activities. After we became raiders, our interest in doing anything but playing WoW quickly disappeared. We certainly felt guilty about it, but we also didn't do anything to remedy the situation.
It is so amazing to wake up, look outside, and see where we live! How excited I am to go out there and enjoy this lovely place! Yesterday we went for a bike ride and I am sore! Today or tomorrow, we'll go for a walk with the dogs! I can't wait to enjoy this place to the fullest!
