If I never see another allen wrench...

Seriously.

So we're all in. Well, excepting the bed frame but we're going to do that tomorrow and then THAT'S IT! No more running around town all crazy trying to find a tv, a shelf, stools, a table, etc. It's been a harried 5 days but JC and I have finally furnished and placed everything that we're going to for right now. It's a relief but it's also been fun to pick out things together. I truly feel as if we got a second chance or something. We got a mix of new and used things which I'm glad for- not just because of budget but I think it's important, especially in these times to get as much from others as I can. There's so much STUFF in the world, why not just keep it going around?

I was sitting on our balcony watching people across the street in Esther Short park and I was just hit with an overwhelming sense of appreciation. There was, and not too few words uttered by myself, not a huge fan base in Portland for Vancouver. It's actually quite charming. Like a lot of the country, you can see the economic downturn reflected in the not-so bustling downtown but it's peaceful, safe and fairly convenient.

Tomorrow there's an international festival. The place is hopping!

It's good to be back in the Northwest.
