So far this is what people have told me about Portland
- It's very liberal
- There is a lot of marijuana
- There are a ton of farmers markets
- People pick up after their dogs (gross)
- It is close to where Goonies was filmed
- They recycle
Basically it will be amazing. And after weeks of searching and calling we found an apartment. It is close to school and close to our budget. Other sweet amenities include a pool (which I'm sure we will use on all those sunny days) and a communal herb garden. Also we get a little plot of land to garden on which I'm really excited about. And the people that lived in the apt before were there for 10 years, meaning they put in all new carpet, counters and fixtures for when we move in. Kinda nice to know your carpet will not give you a weird disease.
So far the excitement of moving is in the forefront of all other thoughts....like the fact that I need to find a job and they don't have my teaching degree in their public schools or that Jared will be in school and MIA for the next four years. Oh.....and that whole student loan things.
Eh....it will all work out. And we are pretty excited to jump in and start.
