A quick update...

Tim accepted an internship offer with Pacific Landscape Management which took us to Portland Oregon for the summer. We are living in Sherwood, a small town about 30 minutes from downtown Portland. We rent a studio apartment from a woman who responded to our housing "wanted" add on Craigslist. It is definitely small, and I fight a constant battle with our numerous roommates (ants, spiders, millipedes, rollie-pollie bugs, mildew, etc.). We will definitely be happy to return to our apartment in Rexburg, but for now it is at least a cheap place to live.

I am working as a volunteer intern at LDS-Family Services. I love my various projects, ranging from painting a play therapy room, to using my internet search skills to find individuals we have lost contact with (such as birthparents or adoptive couples) and send them letters and pictures that have been sitting in a filing cabinet for 5+ years.

I still have yet to find a job that produces a paycheck...

Every weekend is a 3-day weekend for us. We enjoy exploring our new surroundings, bike-riding, camping, hiking, and playing lots of tennis :). We really love the area that we are in, perhaps if things work out we will come back here after graduation!
