I'm Moving!

I spent this past weekend with some friends in South East Portland. Tim and Hannah have been married for 3+ years now. Hannah and I worked at Camp Tadmor together and we've kept in touch. She and her sister, Naomi, are the kind of people who you can always count on, the relationship always seems to pick up where you left off no matter how long it's been since you were last able to spend time together.
Hannah and I have been trying to do things together since I've been back in Portland, not always successful, but we try. Anyway... we had coffee a few weeks ago and she invited me to go to church with them. That turned into an invitation to spend the night on Saturday and watch a movie Saturday afternoon. So, this last weekend I went over there.
They bought a home a year ago and have decorated it beautifully! Well, after the movie in Salem and dinner with Stess, Hannah and I went back to their place and Tim came upstairs. Hannah then told me that she and Tim had a question for me and proceeded to extend the offer for me to live with them in their home! I couldn't believe it. She showed me the TWO rooms that will be mine as well as a bathroom that I'll have on my own. Their house is set up in a way that I'm upstairs but that's actually on the ground floor. Their room and bathroom as well as the tv/office space is downstairs.
Their offer is amazing for me. I'll have a longer commute, I'll be taking the Max, but that's okay as I was considering doing that anyway and hadn' thad the "push" to actually do that. I'll also be living in an area that I know a bit more. I'm excited to run into people I know. I'm going to be about 5 minutes from my "In town Aunt" as Stess so aptly named Sandra. I'll also be living with a great Christian couple that is my age and hopefully will be able to interact with them more often.
All that to say, I'm really excited! Now I just have to figure out how to get my stuff there... It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate with a car load at a time.

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!

Stuff and Nonsense

I know, it's been a while since I last posted anything. I've been trying to come up with something really great to write about, but nothing's coming to mind. So, instead of some wonderful pearls of wisdom, you get the mundane. Well, maybe not mundane, but my life as it pertains to: ...Living quarters. I'm pretty settled in to my place now. Last Sunday I got home from church and shortly after both roomates did. We had a chance to sit down for lunch together, not planned, it just happened. It was a fun, non-stressful time. We actually had a neighbor come by and give us a welcome gift! Later we went to the park and threw a ball for Brandi, our friendly dog, and played on the swings. All in all, a very relaxing time just hanging out. Later Jamie and I went to Target, with 2 stories! Jamie was really funny, being from a small town, Target with an escelator that you can put your cart down was quite an adventure. ...Church. I'm still trying to find a...
