Hello everyone!
I'd like to ease your mind from the start: no one hacked in my computer. It's been broken for two months, anyway, so no chance.
It's me.
Long time, no write. Bad, bad me! I have excuses, though! (of course I have!)
We moved. My laptop broke. We went to Romania for 6 weeks. We had to rest for a week after coming back from our vacation with my family. Next vacation: on a God-forgotten island in the Pacific.
How I missed looking at some eye-pleasing, heart-melting beautiful cards. Tonight, I finally can because my husband gave in to my nagging and drove for 5 hours total to get to an Apple store in to get my laptop fixed.
What in the world am I doing in a place with no Apple store, I do not know.
That's why we decided to move. No, not for the Apple store, but wouldn't that be awesome to have the freedom to just pick up and move? Of course, when you feel that you are not quite in the right place.
Being in Romania, we realized that we couldn't live there (it was on our list...), but I used to look at people leaning over their kitchen windows in this torn country and envy them: they were at home, with good and bad. We weren't there yet.
We considered three locations: Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Stuttgart, Germany, Portland, Oregon, United States. We scratched off Cluj and Stuttgart and we have our destination!
Portland, Oregon.
How awesome is that?!
We love to live close to nature, we love biking, walking, living healthy! Do we love rain?! I don't know yet...:-) Has anyone been or lived there? I would appreciate any advice or bit of information that could help us be realistic in our expectations of Portland.
I've been meaning to write a little bit of an update and I'm glad I got it off my chest!
I'll check in back soon!
Daniela

glad you checked in, you've been busy!
I hear that Portland is one of the most beautiful places. I think they have great stamp stores, too!
Daniela, Glad to see your back! I hope you had a wonderful trip seeing your family. I visited Portland quite a few times for work. It seems very friendly and diverse in terms of things to do. The cost of living may be a bit high, but relative to other West Coast towns not quite as high. Hope that helps...I don't know a ton about Portland.
I'm so happy to see you back. I'm so, so, so sorry that Germany is not any more on your "wish to live there"-list. But I'm looking forward to know where you will find your new home.
Te imbratisez cu drag. Laura
