Our office is being reconfigured today and tomorrow. It is loud and hard to concentrate, thank goodness for earphones and music!

So things have been changing at an alarming rate in my life.  I got a new job, am getting divorced, and moved to the big city of Portland, OR.  The new job and the move all happened within a three week window.  Things fell into place in such a way that I could not ignore the fact that I was supposed to be moving and starting a new chapter in my life. 

Exactly a week ago today I loaded up my jeep and a small U-Haul trailer with most of my belongings and made the four hour drive to my new home.  It was a sad journey but a good amount of time to absorb the change and start to get excited for this new chapter.  I was able to get settled into my new home and unpack the important things (like the kitchen) before I started work on Monday morning. 

The new job has great people and is a great opprotunity for my carreer with the big green machine.  I miss the people from Walla Walla so much but am enjoying meeting all new people and watching the dynamics of a new office.  I now ride the bus into work, which was very itimidating to me on the first day.  I was sure that I was going to get lost on the 20 minute ride from my house to work, never mind that I wasn’t going to be changing buses and only walking four blocks downtown.  But, I made it just fine to the office without getting lost (thank goodness my sense of direction has gotten better over the years).

New Office!
