What I’ve Been Up To
This week is awesome. I have my house all taken care of, a job interview lined up, and I’ve enjoyed my friends like never before. Portland is more perfect than I remembered. I went for a drive today down I-5, through Downtown on 405, down the sunset highway to 217 and back up I-5 through the Terwilliger curves and back to Vancouver where I am staying with Adam and Carolyn. It was gorgeous. So much has changed, but really so much is the same.
Yesterday I took some video of our new house and posted it to Facebook. Then I hung out in downtown PDX until Carolyn finished work at 4:20 and we came home together. Adam cooked avocado chicken that was to die for (YUM!). I was supposed to go out with Lauren, but we kind of mutually flaked on each other and rescheduled for Thursday night.
Tomorrow I want to go back downtown and just walk around for a while aimlessly. Who knows what I’ll find!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Little had an IEP meeting today that went exceptionally well. She is almost all caught up and a “normal” kid. They suspect she’ll end up in a gifted program. We knew that all along. Big is excited to go to public high school. She just needs to finish up her exams and she’s ready to be done with her school in Baton Rouge. She is going to end up having a month off between semesters because her school ends in December and the second semester here doesn’t begin until February. Lucky kid!
