As of yesterday, we have one piece of furniture in our new place - its a tv table with few shelves which we picked up at goodwill outlet for mere ten bucks. After "fitting" it into Michelle's car we were happy campers.
In the evening of The American Birth, we went out to a super fancy sandwich place (for sandwiches, drinks and fireworks). There was live music and free Ben and Jerry ice cream truck. How can you not?! We ordered dry hopped apple ciders and shandies, which was tequila, line, grapefruit and beer mixed together. Yum yum. Lots if people and great fireworks. Oregon also sells alcohol until 2.30am so we grabbed few beverages to go :). This has been the theme practically every day because things are a plenty and tasty here. And because we don't have jobs yet, day drinking is almost okay. Almost.

Michelle's birthday started with free breakfast sandwich at Einstein bros bagels. We then went and picked up few more awesome pieces from goodwill including trash cans, salad spinner, slow cookers, cups and bowls.
Now we are at a Mongolian grille, for free lunch: pick your meat, veggie, sauce and its all cooked for you at a round grille by a gentleman with stylish facial hair - I'll let your imagination to fill in the rest of the picture/face.
Our plans for the rest of the day include a matinee movie of "Grand Budapest Hotel" (can't beat $4 for two tickets) and a potluck of strangers-soon-to-be-friends which well be all flushed down with more adult beverages, primarily beer and cider. Turns out, drinking beer during a movie is not only acceptable but almost expected, since the bar is located pretty much right next to the seats.
The evening with Noah and Ameera was fun, loss of fun people and turns it that Noah's birthday was also the 5th. Did i mention that he's also a nurse? Yeah, life. Excellent day overall!

Farmer markets galore, we picked up cherries, blueberries, gooseberies, onions, spinach, multicolor carrots, garlic, potatoes, local honey and apricots. Michelle will make a berry pie soon and we just had a hearty bowl of bean and veggie soup that was cooking up in a new slowcooker. (Thank you goodwill)

We have a tiny small 1 bedroom, so send us love, but nothing bulky please :) We are still trying to figure out where our furniture will go once it arrives.
The internet is set up today (Sunday), so more information will follow. And pictures. Thank you, lovely family and friends for all the warm messages, calls, and frequent attempts to grab a hold of this super couple :)
