Boyfriend and I actually did it. We drove across the country with a car full of our most valuable/personal possessions and today, in a half hour in fact, we will sign the lease to our new place. Sometimes I stop and think, oh my gosh, we are freaking crazy. But we are trying something new, and this is the best time to do it.
We really enjoyed our road trip out here and we didn’t encounter any problems. We didn’t get too sick of the road and we had many laughs along the way. For our road trip and our new adventure in Portland, we decided to create a new blog:
portlandbound.wordpress.com
We’ll be using this blog to put pictures up of our apartment and make entries about any adventures we have, but I’ll use this blog for my personal thoughts and reflections.
So to begin, I’m scared to death. I’ve never lived in a big city and I’ve never been on my own so far away from my family and friends. I’m glad that we have Seth and Nikki in our same building and Dan and Kim not too far away, but I’m feeling very small in this big place. However, I do not regret this decision nor do I think I will. It’s important for people to leave their comfort zones and try new things. I hope to emerge stronger and more sure of who I am and what I am capable of.
Before that happens though, many struggles to come.

I tried to call you on your birthday. Is it super expensive for you to receive calls while in Portland? I miss you! I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
