So, we're in Portland today. I had my job interview this morning. Went really well (I think) and I'm really excited about the prospect now. It would be a GREAT experience and a GREAT stepping stone. No idea when they will notify me, but they did ask me when I could potentially start. We'll see!
We also checked out an apartment building in the Pearl district. It's a "green" building, brand new. Lots of cool amenities like a fitness center, a "fido field" (an astro-turf area with a fire hydrant) and swanky, common areas with free wi-fi. Unfortunately, it's a bit too pricey, especially since neither of us is employed yet! But it also caused us to re-evaluate our plan of moving to Portland with or without jobs (so that we can be "in it" to do the networking). It's probably a bit over-ambitious, so we will wait until at least one of us has a job. Then we will find a place near that. Another thing we realized is that we don't want to live in a studio apartment or possibly not a small 1 bedroom either. We're done with being squished! This means we will probably have to give up our idea of living downtown. It would be fun and a great experience, but too pricey. We might check some other parts of the downtown area, though.
For now, it's back to Central Oregon again tomorrow.

its easy to live in a close in neighborhood and be only minutes from downtown. Also, many neighborhoods have all the amenities right there so no trip is necessary.
