In that time we&#8217;ve gotten a dog, got pregnant and bought a house. We&#8217;ve been busy. Do we like Portland? We love it! This move was a really good idea for us. We haven&#8217;t looked back. Strangely I don&#8217;t miss San Francisco. I still love it and I think it&#8217;s a great town, but I don&#8217;t miss it. I thought I would. I thought I&#8217;d feel homesick, I don&#8217;t at all.  I just wish that I&#8217;d had more time this year to really explore Portland. There is so much more to see, so many more trails to hike, restaurants to try (thought we&#8217;ve tried a very large percentage of them), and museums to explore. Looks like pretty soon I&#8217;ll be doing a lot of that with a papoose strapped to me.<\/p>\n<p>We move into our new house tomorrow! My shoulder is sore and I&#8217;m tired. I&#8217;m glad the moving is almost done. i can&#8217;t believe how much crap we have. I&#8217;m excited about our new neighborhood and our new, old, glorious house. What a find, I really can&#8217;t believe it. I got a lot of things on my hose dream list like a porch (two in fact) and a claw foot bathtub. I even have a tool wall where I&#8217;ll get to outline my tools. I&#8217;ve always wanted to do that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/angrypirate\/4414341346\/\" title=\"house by Alanna Risse, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4017\/4414341346_cc3a00da01.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"house\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Portland, for being so incredibly welcoming over the past year. We love our new town to pieces. And it&#8217;s obviously being very good to us.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;re leaving our old neighborhood near Sellwood, I&#8217;m thinking about all the placeing and things I&#8217;d wished I&#8217;d done more of. <\/p>\n<ul>Wish I&#8217;d&#8230;<\/p>\n<li>Gone to Mocha Momma&#8217;s more often<\/li>\n<li>went down to the river more often<\/li>\n<li>Had breakfast at the weird gingerbread looking place on Milwaukie<\/li>\n<li>Gone to Oak Park<\/li>\n<li>Had more pizza&#8217;s and music at the Muddy Rudder<\/li>\n<li>Done more karaoke at the Woods<\/li>\n<li>Gone to the driving range more often<\/li>\n<li>Gone on a long bike ride down the springwater trail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ll miss our neighborhood, I love it in Sellwood, we got really lucky finding our rental house last year when I didn&#8217;t know my way around town. But I&#8217;m getting more and more enthused about our new neighborhood. North Portland seems to far away, feels like we&#8217;re moving to a new town, and that&#8217;s an exciting feeling. It&#8217;s also exciting that this is going to be our last move for years and years and years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve lived in Portland Oregon for one whole year now.
