Well, I've been living in Oregon for about a week now, and it's pretty damn amazing. We got a great apartment right near downtown, and I got a job yesterday. Jobs and housing are the two hardest things to get here, but I've been responsible in getting ready to move here by accepting a government contract job to put on my resume as well as building my credit. It all paid off, and here we are! We're living our dream!! So never give up on your goals, they're closer than you think. :)
