Move to Portland,OR

I have informed my boss that my last day would be the end of april, after that it’s just moving on up there.

it’s almost scary.

I’m going to do it this year. in spring. I broke the news to my parents. My friend is helping me by letting me stay with her while I look for a job and get my own place.
I can see a lot of photography happening then.

errr. didn’t happen. Something came up and prevented this from happening. IT will happen in ’.

Portland and the surrounding metropolitan area (go 20 miles in any direction from downtown) is much smaller than its northern cousin Seattle, but its got just about anything you could want if you are interested in creative people, diverse cultural events, low crime rate, general friendliness and natural beauty.

It dosn’t look like this is going to happen this year… Not with my fuzzums gone. I’m ok most days but I still think about her each day. I just can’t seem to bring myself to leave this place, where my family is. I lost my little Daisy, I don’t want to be away from the rest of my family. Call me weak but I don’t care, at least I can love.

then.. There is Mario. sigh Not only was I just able to groom him but now I have ridding rights to him as long as I keep up the grooming. Ummm How can I leave such a sweet deal like that?(Horse addict since the first time I layed eyes on one.) Besides he needs the love and attention.

Whew! We made it. I haven’t updated any of my online “presences” since we got here, so it’s probably about time to do that.
The move, as moves are, was exhausting. The apartment is much better than I was expecting (didn’t want to get my hopes TOO high as I procured it sight unseen via Craig’s List) – in fact, I love it! Old brick building, period fixtures, hardwood floors, French windows. I’ve got a job already, which isn’t my life’s work, but at least is keeping a little money rolling in while my husband tries to find something. So here we are. I’ll probably have tons of new goals once I get a chance to think about it. But this one’s a done deal.

So we got the apartment. It may be a little small, but it’s month to month and from what I can tell online it’s in a really cool area. Also, has hard-wood floors, big window in the living room, a leaded glass hutch in the kitchen, a bathtub, and pets allowed – 1930’s bricker. Only 580 square feet, which is definitely a downsize from our current status, but hey, that’s the breaks. It’ll be good for us to do some pruning.
We’re set to move March 17, St. Patty’s Day. Funny how timing works out…

I sent in a deposit on an apartment today. Our last day of work will be March 12. And we are headed to P-town on the 17th. Woo-hoo. I’ve been all…giddy about it. Big changes on the horizon.

So I don’t know whats stoping me from starting my move now. except the small stupid part that I said I wanted to go around March or April.
Belh I might as well start now. So why don’t I?

:/

I’ve been wanting to move to P-town for a while now. I guess I always planned on P-town or Seattle, since HS and I think it is about time to make the move. MOVE!
