College Trip 2008: A Brief Intermission

So today I traveled around Portland with my Uncle and can I just say I love it so much. We just went around this little area full of coffee shops and little boutiques. Things were really expensive but the houses and buildings there are so beautiful. I sort of found my ideal apartment too, well at least from the outside. It has a little porch area that is a fire escape and all wrought iron and pretty. On the top floor there was a bunch of potted flowers and it just seemed so picturesque and breakfast at tiffany’s. It was incredible. My uncle says that the housing in the northwest is more affordable than you would expect and that living there in general isn’t as expensive as san fran, but then again what is?
My aunt is now 8 months pregnant, although she barely has a baby bump she’s so tiny and adorable I love her. Anyways little baby boy Rowan Brady (how adorable is that name) is due in 5 weeks! My uncle also told me that he is in the national guard and that he is going to boot camp and possibly iraq (which is not only extremely scary for everyone but also so odd because he’s such a little hippie it’s unexpected) anyways, if I end up in Portland he wanted to know if I would be able to come help Becky with Rowan when he comes because they don’t have a lot of family and she’s going to be very nervous with him gone. I said of COURSE I would.
I also had some of the best yogurt/milk/ice cream ever. Tillamook is now like my favorite ever.
