Portland - It Grows on You

I've some how managed to live in Oregon 12 years. I grew up in Southern Cal, went to college in St. Paul. I've done a stint in Utah, and enjoyed a few years in Bellingham. I never thought Oregon would be home for very long. I guess I should have known when Darla said we wouldn't be moving until after the kids graduate. Now I love this place, mountains, ocean, desert, music, football (ducks), soccer, and a great city. The truth is, I am loving all things Oregon.



Think I'll stay for a few more years.
