It's on.

Monday, February 11, 2008 - This photo compliments the initial shot I took the day I left Dallas last August. Dallas, my car just packed up, and me by myself. Portland, my car just unloaded, and with Ana.

I searched around for a house to rent over a few weeks with the help of Ana, Jeff, and Kira. Each house I saw was ok, but something was somehow amiss with each one I saw. I finally found one that was far and away better than any other I'd seen, and cheaper than a lot of the others. And as expected, there were tons of applicants for the house (I saw several of them when we were initially shown the house). Somehow I was chosen over all the others; it was likely because of how sexy I am. I moved in last Friday; the house is a total stud. It was built in 1900, but is still in very good shape. The living room is too large to be just 1 room; I'll likely use the back half of it for something else. The dining room will not be that; it will be a pool room as soon as I get a pool table. The kitchen is updated with a granite slab countertop and copper farm sink. It looks out to the backyard, as does the sun-room. There's a huge unfinished basement, and the 2 bedrooms on the main level are sizable as well. Below are some pictures..
