Our new hometown- Portland
This weekend found us once again in Portland. Tamee and Jason graciously invited us to stay with them even amidst their process of packing. We arrived Saturday morning and went straight to work compiling lists of homes we wanted to look at. We spent several hours driving around picking up fliers and driving around neighborhoods, convinced this would be the trip that would lead us to our future home. Tamee and Jason allowed us the use of their car, which was incredibly helpful. We drove ALL OVER in preparation to meet with our realtor. Sunday morning, which also happened to be Mother's Day, we met up with some friends, Heidi and Tim, for brunch. Heidi was actually in Christian's class all through elementary and high school. I met her in college where she met and married Tim. They have lived in the Portland area for several years now and love it! We had a nice time reacquainting ourselves with them while walking around downtown. We had high hopes of
visiting more homes, but our realtor was called away on a family emergency, so we were left on our own. That afternoon was the "Good-bye" party for Tamee and Jason and we were happy to be able to attend. We enjoyed meeting several of their friends and extended family. C and I are both very sad they will be moving away. They are two incredibly wonderful people! On Monday, I had the opportunity (thanks to Tamee!!) to tour OHSU. Tamee works for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation there and knows everyone! She introduced me to a couple of people who were very helpful and took the time to show me around the children's hospital; particularly the school and playrooms. All very interesting to me. Later on in the morning we were able to connect with our realtor who took us around to several places. In the end, we had a pretty depressing feeling after not finding anything to get real excited about. I know it takes time, but with so much available we were really hoping we would find something...anything! The search continues! We flew home in low spirits but we keep praying that we find a good house that we can make home.
