I just wanted to share my elation with all my Stripcreator friends. A week ago my wife returned from her third set of interviews in the Northwest. She's been job hunting since November and hasn't had much luck, and she's getting anxious and depressed.

She visited three hospitals; one across the sound from Seattle and two in western Oregon. We talked it over and both agreed that the job in Eugene was our first choice.

They called today and offered the job! Yahoo!

She'll be done with her residency in July and we'll then we're off to Oregon. I'm really excited. Half an hour away from National Forests! Mountains over 10,000 ft almost in my backyard!

The only thing I'm going to miss about Cleveland is my friends. As for the rest of it, I'd leave it in a heartbeat. The great thing about online friends like y'all is that moving across the country won't change a thing. Only I'll be farther away from wirthling so it'll be harder for me to sneak to his place and stuff bananas in his tailpipe.

Congratulations Gabe, or perhaps I should be congratulating your wife (who's image I dessicrated earlier this week). At any rate, it sounds like you are very happy, so, a dozen "huzzah"'s in your favour!

As far as I remember, Eugene is a pleasant college town. It should be much cleaner and friendlier than Cleveland.

One weird thing about Oregon, though. They don't let you pump your own gas at gas stations.

The northwest? But I just bought a house here!!! What are you trying to do to my property value, dammit!?!

*sigh*

Maybe we'll see you in Seattle sometime.

How many baby pictures do you think you'll be able to collect before July for your kiddie porn site?

I'll post the kiddie pictures as soon as I come back from vacation. (Which I'm leaving for in the morning.) Hopefully there'll be some more to look at. Hint, hint.

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the new location and scenery and that you're both happier for it.

First Spankling, then me, now Gabe...

there goes the neighborhood...

seriously, welcome to the PNW. I've been here for 3 days now scouting apts for my upcoming move and I'm in love with it.

Are there any forum users in PDX?

Happy long distance celebration hugs :D

Tell your wife congrats.

Now I can't go to the next meet in Cleveland for two reasons. One, I'm underage for EVERYTHING and two, no one will be there. You're all plotting against me.
