Congratulations!! I'm originally from Seattle, but one of my uncles had a homestead up there in Pend Oreille county WA, pretty close to Idaho. beautiful area even though the rest of Washington has gone from bad to worst. I would go back to Idaho, but my wife wants a warmer climate and milder winter, so we're looking at TN.
BTW, wife is a Jersey girl too, but she can't wait to exit this state. It's sad too because NJ does have a lot to offer.
