Life in Portland (Well, actually Beaverton)

0

So, after living in Beaverton, OR for about a year and a half, I have to say, I LOVE living in Oregon.

Yes, there are trials and tribulations. My "Family" (my mothers family, nearly all of whom live within 90 minutes of here) are not as "receptive" to me living here. Living so far from my wife's family has proven very challenging for her, and...

So, I found out yesterday that I am moving to Portland. (Long story short, my lease is up, my landlord doesn't want to renew it after two months of telling me he would, and so, we have to move)

We looked around our neighborhood, and there are no houses that fit our needs (3+ bedrooms, allowed pets, in the right School Zone, and under $2,500)...

So, today I sit at my desk, the desk I have called "Home" to my work for about 10 years, off and on, and full-time for the last 4 years.

Today, I tell them that I am quitting. I am moving on.

Sadly, I LOVE my job. I really like the people I work with, I consider them all my friends. I love the work...

Yesterday, we went downtown and watched my oldest boy join the Air Force. It was a very emotional thing to say goodbye to my son, as he starts his own journey, becoming an adult.

I miss him, and I believe I will miss him, but I know he is off doing good things, becoming a Man.

I just wanted to share... Thank you for listening,...

So, I've gotten hooked on old Australian TV shows... I watched the entire series of "Sea Patrol" and now I am trying to watch "Blue Heelers" and I can't get enough!

However, I can't get all the seasons of "Blue Heelers". I have Season 1 and Season 3, but that's it, out of all 13 seasons.

makes me want to move to Australia. :-)

isabeau:
If you move, can you put me in your suitcase? My life long dream has been to move there. *le sigh*... Anywho, thanks so much for the love on my set smile You're awesome!

No worries - Isabeau

Married for 2 months now, and typically very happy!

I'm gonna try to see how this all goes, because I have missed Suicide Girls.

How is everyone?

My oldest leaves for the Air Force in less than 2 months... My little girl is 15 and a freshman in High School, then my 6th Grader and my 3rd Grader.

Life has been interesting!

So, today we sign the lease on the new house... It's smaller, but in a MUCH better area, and a 5 minute drive (20 minute walk) to work every day. No more hours sitting in a car commuting!

Hoping this will relieve stress.

Yesterday,my oldest turned 18. I remember turning 18... now I have an 18 year old son. Wow...

Today should be all about honoring those brave men and women that have served our country and sacrificed to make our country great and keep it great and free...

Sadly, like most of our holidays, we see it as just another extended weekend, and have no real understanding WHY we should honor those days.

So, today, please stop and think about those people, and what...

I seem to be having a "Crisis of Confidence" today.

I have SO many Ideas, and want to get them all done, but I cannot concentrate long enough to put things together. Is this because I don't have the Education I now see that I could use?

I have NEVER felt that I missed ot on things because of a lack of an Education. I...

Sitting at work thinking...

I find myself working more and more, and learning less and less. Less time with Family and Loved Ones, because there needs to be more money made. It's a crappy cycle.

But,I digress.

I have been focusing more and more an Design and Photography in the last two years. I find that I REALLY love doing that kind of stuff.

I...

what is up with you and thinking you're boring? You're just afraid to be yourself.. but only on this site. You've taught me to not give a crap what people think.. just to be the best me that I can. The most interesting conversations I have ever had have been with you. For some reason though, on here you're afraid to talk about those things.. you're trying to impress? Or afraid of looking dumb? Either way Brian.. just be you on here. Discuss your feelings on religion, politics, art, love, sex, beauty, and so on. You have amazing views.. share them. You are NOT in any way stupid OR boring. You are a loving, creative, intelligent, funny, and responsible person.
