Oregon is now Home!?!

So as of last night at about 9pm I officially made it to my new home in Tigard, Oregon. For those of you who don't know where that it, it is about 8 miles south of Portland so often times i reference my new location as Portland. The drive wasn't that bad, I spent time in San Luis Obispo and Pleasanton before the final 10 hour drive yesterday. It was nice because my buddies Tyler and Nick caravaned with me up to Portland, which made the drive a bit easier. Once you pass Redding California, the drive is absolutely gorgeous. If I weren't driving the whole time I would have some sweet pictures to post. I don't think I have any good pictures to post for this roadtrip but only ones that I will paint with words (cheesy I know). I already have my room set up and now I am just getting ready for this new life. Last night as I was unpacking and setting up my room I had somewhat of a Mental Freak Out as everything sort of hit me at once. I think I was just exhausted and realized how big of a change this is but I am much better today after I got some good sleep. I honestly have now clue what this journey is going to look like yet but I am excited to see the opportunities.

Today I went to run some errands, one was starting a new bank account with Washington Mutual since there are no Union Banks of California around. My question is, if Washington mutual is in Oregon, why can't UBOC be? Prejudice.... oh well, I will deal with it. The lady I set up my account with was the first person I have talked to besides the people I already know since I got up here. She was very nice and is actually interested in checking out our church once we get it going. She wants to find a place that her children would like to go. So that was encouraging in itself. God is blessing me already with this housing arrangement and I am just excited to see how things begin to fall in line. God is faithful and I have peace in this. I think I should have more to say, but at the moment, i really don't.... So I will post more later.
