I seem to have taken a short sabbatical from this blog writing, but feel it is time to update you people out there on what is going on in my busy-ish life.
Announcing...A big decision in our relationship and life...Justin and I decided to live together, so at the beginning of the month, Bailey and I waved goodbye to Beaverton and moved on over to Portland. Very exciting. Oh, I owe a big thanks to the Andersons for setting me up with 1/2 their house for the last year. You guys were great!
My Dad's birthday present...I am trying to make this a surprise, so I can't spill much. My sister and I have put together a pretty cool gift for the tall one's birthday, and it has been a little time consuming. My thinking is one more week to go and plenty of time to get it finished...hopefully my procrastinating tendencies don't take over.
Taxes...I decided to complete my taxes this weekend...one federal and two state tax filings later, I am looking at a decent payback from Uncle Sam. God, how boring is this news?
As if three in a year weren't enough...After 10 months at my current job, I have decided to re-enter the job market again. While I adore my coworkers, the 500 mile weekly commute just doesn't conjure up the same feelings of love. So I doctored up my resume this weekend and applied for four new positions in the Portland area. Don't worry, I will continue to drive back and forth and back and forth and back and...man, I hope I get a new job soon.
MySpace, I actually like this thing...You can catch up with friends and actually be a little more interactive in their lives, even when they are far away. I should have done this when I lived in Utah and actually did live far away from everyone! No one has tried to enter my bubble yet who I have no desire to talk to...so that works.
One year...In a few days, I will celebrate my first year back in Oregon. In my opinion, there is plenty to celebrate. It kind of feels like I never even left the state, but I am glad I did because I got to see that the grass is nice on the other side, but never as nice as it is at home...for me at least.
New song...Over My Head by The Fray. I admit that I am getting old and first heard this song on Kink. A sign that I am getting old and plenty of proof that I need to write a blog about getting old.
Maybe next week.
A scattered history of today and the past six years of my life. Read what you like...then take it or leave it...tell me what you think...just don't tell me I shouldn't have written it.
About Me
- Sarah
- Passionate about a lot of things, have a somewhat short attention span, peacemaker to a fault, find it very valuable to never stop learning or trying new things, and very attached to my close friends and family. I've been a very fortunate person in life and believe that people who are resilient can make it through anything. A motto I live by..."Spend time with people you actually like." If you do that, life should be pretty great.

Good to hear life is normal and perhaps boring. I was happy to be a part of your first year back in the OR. We had great fun and I hope there will be many more good times ahead!
Oh, silly you’re not old. Because then I would be super old :(
Although…if you really feel that way maybe you should have me some cute little nieces and nephews before you just drop over the hill. And you’d better finish Marc’s gift!!!
Now. Stop reading go finish…are you still reading? Go already.
Love the cute sister
Welcome back to Oregon! :-) I know the feeling having moved back a year and 4 months ago myself!
Congratulations Sarah--I'm happy things are going your way :-)
