Portland, OR


As some of you know, Sean (among many other dental students) is in the process of interviewing for residency in Oral Surgery. This will take us off to another school for a few more years--6 to be exact. Last weekend I was able to go to Portland, Oregon with him to scope out the scene. It is beautiful up there. We did some shopping-there was an ice rink in the mall, sight seeing, and driving around in the rain. They even supply umbrellas for community use. Other contenders include schools in Nashville, Louisville, Atlanta, San Francisco, Connecticut, or possibly Southern California. It is an exciting, stressful, and overwhelming time. But we are looking forward to the big decision on January 30th when we will know where we are headed to!

Looks like a fun trip despite the rain. I am anxiously awaiting Jan. 30 so I can plan a trip to see you if you end up at UCSF or OHSU.

Marissa and Sean- That's twice that you've been to Portland in the last little while and never informed me you were coming. If you ever do that again, you will be in trouble!

i love portland...have a sister there and David and Janean used to be there too. Now Mandi is in Cookeville TN so Nashville could possibly get a vote!
