P-Town

We arrived into Portland yesterday where we will spend the next few days trying to find an apartment. Today we were all over the city looking for a place and I think we've found one that is close to the Max line so Kelli can get to work and a neighborhood that we would like to live in. The managers of the place are a couple that is our age that got married a year ago, very cool people. I hope that we get it! We should, we've just got to turn in our application tonight and we should be set. I'm very excited. We LOVE Portland.

Thanks to Sarah and those in the Sumner House for letting us crash in their place for the next few days and showing us around a little. That has made things immensely easier on us.

Off to Seattle on Thursday to do a wedding. The rehearsal dinner is up in the Space Needle which wil be awesome and they've put us up in a ridiculously sweet downtown hotel. Should be a great week!

Then we fly home to start our five day drive out here!
