Been a while

Hey so I know it's been a while since we posted last. I don't even know if people are reading this anymore. But I figured I would update it just in case.

We are adjusting pretty well to Portland. Mol and I are both still job searching (along with most people in Portland) but we have kept busy helping Donald with his gardening business. We have worked a few days with him and it's been fun learning how to do some landscaping stuff.

Some of you might be waiting for me to comment on the weather here. As everyone knows, it rains a lot in Portland, especially in the winter. As you can imagine this isn't easy to get used to. Molly has never been affected by the rain and I never understood it until now. Apparently no one in Portland is affected by rain. Everyone just carries on with whatever they are doing. I mean it rains nearly every day. Sometimes multiple times a day and sometimes it's just raining pretty hard all day. I do enjoy everything being so green, but seriously? I have only seen the sun 3 times since we moved here. We had two days this past week without rain and it was amazing. Today was nice and the next few days should be nice too. We'll see.

I'm taking a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course for the next week or so. It's a medical course where you learn how to deal with emergencies in the wilderness. Should be interesting and helpful for job opportunities and the safety of ourselves and friends when we play in the woods. It's 8-12 hours a day for 10 days so I haven't had a good chance to take the course until now (yay unemployment). My brain is mush after one day. But I did get to use a stethoscope today.

Mol is taking a coaching certification course next weekend. So we are both doing our best to spruce up our resumes. We'll see how much it helps!
