Wow, it's hard to believe it's been nearly 6 months since I moved out here!

It's still great to be out of Jackson, I miss friends and family of course, but being out of that thown has really been a good thing for me. I look forward to visiting Jackson as soon as it is possible but I'll be just as eager to come back to Portland since this is my home now.

Well, Mike is back in school now and we are both hoping he has an easier go of things this time around. I worry that he may get discouraged with this since it is quite difficult, but I know he will make it. I can understand how getting back into the school habit is hard, especially now that he has a job and we have other so-called 'real world' responsibilities to take care of.
Of course this fall, I'm still considering a few classes at PCC to better myself even more. We'll just have to wait and see what happens later this year.

I've already been offered a management position at Suncoast. Not 100% positive I want it but the expected pay increase would be helpful...I already got one by default when the Oregon minimum wage was increased to $7.25 on January 1, that was a 15 cent raise for me.
