Portland Days are Numbered

In 13 days, Alex will work his last day in Portland.

Alex has been commuting by train from Salem, OR to Portland, OR for nearly a year. In the beginning, we planned to move to Portland. But, life didn't happen the way we expected, and now we find ourselves committing to stay in Salem a little longer.

Alex has really enjoyed working in Portland. (Note that I did not say Alex really liked COMMUTING to Portland). He took advantage of the extra long days (waiting for the train) to walk around downtown and enjoy the sites.











But, we are both excited about his new job. In 13 days he'll say good-bye to BIG PINK and return to his old company (MaPS credit union), but in a different capacity. He'll be working as the Director of Research. Sounds cool--but there are no nuclear weapons or fast cars involved. (Come on people, it's just a credit union.) Also, he'll be closer to home. Yeay!


I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from Alex's downtown P-town collection:
