not forgotten.

hello from the east side!

there have been many thoughts about picking up here again. but as of late, i've been busy transitioning. :)

for a quick kind of update: life is very different, but good. and i know this is where i should be, and that's a good feeling because i hadn't felt that way in portland for quite some time.

here's a shout out of pros and cons for my new town:

PROS
.quiet/peaceful.
.awesome sunsets from my window.
.smalltown charm.
.sunny weather.
.cheap living.
.close to my family, but not too close. (heh :))
.quirky.
.challenging.

CONS
.lots of cows.
.smalltown charm.

see? the pros far outweigh the cons. :) life is going well, very well. i feel hemmed in, which is a nice way to feel. that could come across many ways to many different people, but all you need to know is this: the past two years has been a little nutso, and it feels fine to simmah down now.
