Today's View:
Today's post will be boring because, well...nothing happened. We left Glacier this morning and drove through western Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Montana and Idaho were pretty and green, but eastern Washington is surprisingly flat and seems to consist mostly of a bright yellow grass and very few towns. We are staying right near the Columbia River near the Oregon border tonight. We are planning on arriving to Corvallis tomorrow and camping until we find a place to live. We've been scouring house/apartment ads, and we get to go through the fun process of finding a quiet place not too far from campus. We would love to find a house rather than an apartment (less of a chance of annoying/loud neighbors), but we'll see what we can find. We would also love to get set up in a place within a week or two to avoid extra storage charges for our Relocube. Plus, we miss our stuff. Wish us luck...this is always a fun process.
Robbie got some good news today in the form of a phone call to set up an in-person interview next week. Luckily, we are only two days away from our destination..also, luckily, he put an emergency interview-bag-o-clothes in the car for just this situation.
We passed the 6,000 mile mark of the trip today. Even though we will be finished driving tomorrow, the blog will continue until we are officially not-homeless.

You sound a bit sad and tired in this post...but what a great adventure it has been! Best wishes on finding a place to live. I'm sure that your own bed sounds really good right now. Also good luck to Robbie! Know they will love you as much as we do :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is a long road to home...but you sure did enjoy the journey there! Sending my love and hugs....
good luck finding someplace to live... let me know if you want a second opinion on a place based on someone who currently lives in Corvallis. Our good friend Bryon live somewhere off campus now... :) Love you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the home search and good luck Robbie on the job interview!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be dreading searching for your place to live. It always works out right? Trust the process and you do not have to take the first place you see. Network and ask the locals. You may be surprised at how you find your perfect new home. That is great news on Robbie's interview. I have enjoyed your adventure. The first thing I did each night once I got home was to read your latest post. Brings me great joy to see you having this experience at this point in your life.
