Where has Jeffrey been?

It has been over 4 months since my last post. So much has happened, it's hard to know where to begin. First of all, I should say that I absolutely love Portland. It's great to live in a real city again. I walk everywhere, or I take the streetcar (which is free downtown). It's been such a pleasure to see the change of seasons. I haven't really experienced it in about 20 years I think. Below is a photo from my balcony.

As well as the color change of Fall, foggy mornings seems to be the norm here. Each morning brings a whole new landscape out my window. Sometimes it's so thick that I can't see the buildings next to me. It's really quite amazing.

Though I am glad to be here, it's been a rough 4 months searching for employment. I had a breakthrough recently thanks to my friend Adam and now find myself employed by Mark-Taylor Residential. I'm an assistant manager at an apartment complex in Hillsboro, which is about a 45 minute drive from my house. After a few weeks, I should be changing properties to Beaverton, which should only be about a 30 minute drive. Regardless, it's nice to be employed again.

So that is a brief update of events here in the Northwest. I'll have more to fill in later. For now though, here are some random pics of the past few months:
