Emmitt and I have settled into our new home well. We've both lost a little weight and are enjoying the Portland summer. It's only rained one day since I've been here, and the ten day forecast doesn't show any change. While it's been nice, there's a lot of concern about forest fires with the lack of rain and few scorching hot days we've had, so a little rain would be much appreciated!
I'm still on the job hunt and hope to have something soon. I've had a couple of interviews but no formal offers just yet, so I continue to apply anywhere I can. I'm still praying the Segway tour guide position comes through, although I'm not getting my hopes up to high.
I did get out of my neighborhood last week and ventured to the Lloyd District on the northeast side of town. During the month of June Portland celebrates the Portland Rose Festival to kick off the summer and spotlight the flora this area is so well known for, and I took the opportunity to visit the Annual Spring Rose Show held last weekend. There were thousands of roses on display in every color, size, and variety you can imagine, and it was incredibly beautiful. The plant life was part of what drew me to this region in the first place, so it was fun to see and smell all the roses the proud Oregon gardeners can grow. I'll have more on this topic later in the month, but below are a few pictures to give you an idea!
Until next time!
