Hey guys! I have a dilemma. I know I'm wanting to move to Oregon (shooting for October 2021) but have no idea exactly where to settle down. Looking at a few choice areas based off a census site I found online:

Corbett/ Gresham

Medford/ Ashland

Tigard/ Lake Oswego

Estacada

The only city I've actually been to is Ashland. I loved the vibe and enjoyed the college city atmosphere, despite the lingering smoke of a nearby forest fire...

I'm curious where people would suggest a couple in their 30s to go. No kids yet so schools and daycare don't necessarily need to be a factor. I would like to stay outside of major cities, if I can. Currently, I work for a bank and can easily transfer anywhere!

Any suggestions or tips for moving halfway across the US would be appreciated!

Alright so I made it into the University of Oregon, and currently going through the lovely stressful stage of trying to get financial aid, and applying for places to live, and jobs.

I will try not to go fully into the details of the drama but long story short, I have only just found out will have not support from my parents.

Like last time I am not asking for donations, what I do ask is that you look at my redbubble shop, photo blog, my perfectly posh page, or perfectly posh facebook page where I will be doing free give aways every month so you can get a chance to try the product before you buy it.

These are just some of the ways that I am going to be trying to support myself.

If you can’t afford anything I understand and ask that you at least reblog this and spread the word especially if you like my photography. And if you have any questions feel free to send me a message either through my inbox or IM. 

First day alone in a new state! I took the parents to the airport around 6:30 this morning and then hung out until noon. After that, I walked to campus to time it and found out it'll take me about 20 minutes to get to my lab! I then went to a small cafe right off campus and had a pulled pork sandwich and had the nicest waitress who's friends with all the students, it seems.

When I got home after walking A LOT I sat on my balcony and watched a lady put a boot on a neighbor's truck. Then, I drove to target and picked up some items to make a healthy-ish chicken stir fry! (See below) The dinner took a ridiculously long time to make and made a massive mess but I listened to a podcast while making it and drank some wine and it was super chill.

Maybe I'll play some destiny 2 tonight :)
