Can I get advice on moving to Oregon?

I lived in Central Oregon for years until not too long ago, and not much has changed since I moved here. Redmond, Oregon, is 15 miles north from Bend, Oregon, on HWY. 97. It's almost "smack-dab" in the center of the state. It's population is roughly 12 thousand, where Bend is about 40 to 50 thousand. Redmond is quaint, only 20 miles from the snow capped Cascade Mountains. Is somewhat of a rancher's town, had several larger lumber and milling companies at one time, and has an airport. There are a few larger "big-box" stores, good sized grocery stores, lots of smaller businesses, and any important mall shopping, doctor's clinics, car dealers, typical larger city businesses takes place in Bend. It's just 2 hours southeast from Portland. Close enough to camping, skiing, outdoors life and fun in general. Google it, and use the sattelite and street views to check it out closer. I raised my son there. Good high school, elementary schools, and family atmosphere. Small town and safe living. Great for raising a family.
