We've been thinking a lot about moving. We looked at Portland first, but we realized, everything was too expensive or too ghetto, or both. So we turned our attention to Vancouver, but everywhere there is either too bland, or Gwen has had a "not so happy" experience there. We thought about Olympia, but we want to stay in this area for another year or three. We'd love to stay in this house but with Justin working at home and the lil Punkin here, it's a tad small. Oh yes and the bus stops about 77 times a day..... you may think that we are exaggerating.. but we assure you that we are not!!!! there is a bus stop on our side of the street and one on the other... at least 2 buses per side per hour... uhh ya... tell us about it! so we were starting to get frustrated, but then we realized that this really is a nice neighborhood! Behind us is Mt. Tabor and all around are great old houses. It does start to get a little ghetto the further you go towards 82nd ave, but we steer clear of that. We also have a lovely view of Mt. St Helens since our house is elevated slightly. Taking walks during the day with all three of us have been so great, dahlia falls asleep and we check out the area real estate.

So we may move if some compelling reason drives us somewhere. But we'll be content to stay here for a little while longer. The good news is Justin's job allows him to live wherever we want!
