Wow! Time sure is flying by. Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I have been keep busy.
I have big news: I recently decided that it's time for me to spread my wings and move out. The idea has been in the back of my head for a while now, but I was always planning to live at home for about a year to save up money and take my time deciding where I wanted to move, if I wanted to rent or buy, etc. However, with circumstances being how they are, I just feel a need to kind of give myself a little space and maybe start a new adventure during this season of life. Once I decided that I did want to rent downtown (and not in Gresham or Happy Valley or anywhere inbetween Gresham and Portland), I started researching on Craigslist. It was a bit overwhelming- Portland is a BIG city! But I narrowed it down and decided I wanted to live in the Nob Hill district (near NW 23rd). Well, as luck would have it, my family owns a complex in that area and one of the studios just had a vacancy! Ideally, I would like to have a one-bedroom. But, since my family owns the complex, they wouldn't make me sign a contract (most buildings in this area make you sign a twelve month contract). This way, I can see if I even like living downtown and if I want to stay down there. If not, I can easily move back or find a new alternative. If I do like it, but decide I want a one bedroom, I will be able to take my time looking for one that I really like, and not feel rushed. So, I am going to look at it after work- in just TWO hours! Ah. I am excited, but trying not to get my hopes up. Here's to hopeful new beginnings!
I am ready for another post
