Sorry for the delay in between posts. We went to the Pacific Ocean last Wednesday, and I have been waiting for Ryan to upload his photos, but I figured I'd write a quick note.
We had a good time visiting Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock at the ocean last week. While it was 85 degrees that day in Portland, it was in the fifties on the coast. We warmed up with some hot chocolate and clam chowder and walked along the beach. Lance found me a sand dollar to add to my small collection of sea shells for decorating the bathroom.
On Friday, we went golfing. It was my first time. It was a par 3 course with 12 holes, which were around 40-70 yards to the pin. You only needed a wedge or sand wedge and a putter. Brett, Lance, Ryan and I all played. Brett got first with +5. While I came in 4th, I was very excited when I was on par for one hole. Even the boagie pleased me.
Monday, I began my internship. So far, it has been going wonderfully. My coworkers were very welcoming and have been very helpful. It's a young pr firm, so it's a great atmosphere. I've already had my hands on some great projects, including contributing to one of our client's newsletters and working on several research projects. The account I'll primarily be working on is USB, which has a lot going on, so it'll keep me busy!
As for Ryan, he has been applying for a ton of jobs. He has an interview scheduled for Oct. 3 with a healthcare company and has met with multiple headhunters. I'm confident he'l'l land a job soon!
Pictures of the ocean & golfing to come in the next post.
Until then,
Mary

Sounds like a great place to work, Mary. Glad you are liking it. Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Missing you both.
Love, Mom & Dad
Thank you. We miss you too! I have started looking into plane tickets for Christmastime and will likely be heading home then. I'm hoping Ryan makes it back too! Because Christmas is on a Thursday this year, most offices have Thursday and Friday off, so he should be able to work something out :)
