Welcome to Steemit! We looked at some land up in Wisconsin before deciding on land down here in Missouri - too much snow up there (at least where we were looking)! We just moved here in June, so we know that waiting-to-move feeling all too well! Looking forward to hearing your updates!
I've lived in Wisconsin since 1982, and in Ohio prior to that. I couldn't handle the heat and humidity any further south. I do my part in trying to convince folks to move here, but I consider MO to be a good "second best". :D
