We're writing you this blog entry from Powell's, the World's largest independently-owned bookstore, in downtown Portland, Oregon. It feels wonderful to be here and we're so thankful for all of the support from you all.
As you can imagine, we were tired along the way and also, wi-fi was not always available, hence the delay in between posts, but we're sure you understand.
Below are some pictures from Days 3 and 4 of our journey. Enjoy!

We were literally within feet of this beast. No camera zoom was necessary.
We had a great view of Old Faithful's eruption.
This was at Mary's Bay in the mountains of Yellowstone.
Artist's Point. Pictures don't do it justice.
You wouldn't believe how windy it was.

Brett, Jessica and baby Vera are being excellent hosts for us as we apartment hunt. Yesterday, we spent the day researching units and traveling the city to find a suitable place. We've scheduled some viewings and will keep you posted. We can't wait to have a place of our own.
With Love,
Mary and Ryan

Good luck at that career fair coming up -- I know you'll do well. When you find a place to live, make sure there is suitable space for guests, as I am sure I will be making a trip out there sometime soon. I'll call you sometime this week to chat.

Thanks for all of the comments everybody :D We appreciate them all!
We're getting closer to finding an apartment. Once we move in, it will be easier to stay organized and for things to fall into place.
I have a 2nd interview tomorrow with a pr firm, so hopefully it goes well. Ryan and I also both plan to attend a career fair Sep. 3.
We should be posting soon with more pictures of the city.
Until next time,
Mary
Hi guys,

Good luck finding a job, and let me know your address when you get one.
