Today is the day: one month since we made it "home." Time has flown by and we have already done so much exploring, but we're still not even half way through or caught up on all things Portland. There's still so much left to do! Which is both exciting and exhausting. Haha. Mostly it's exhausting to my wallet, which i'm not fond of. I really like to save, even if there's not anything i'm supposed to be saving for. (in this case, i'm still saving for school, but i have enough to go back this fall, it'll just lower my funds sufficiently, but not enough to worry about, so don't worry about us! haha)
Which reminds me, i'm feeling a little iffy on getting a library science degree. i've actually been thinking about maybe becoming a wedding planner, bc i'm great and planning and incredibly organized as well. my only problem would be dealing with bridezillas. i can't promise i wouldn't slap them around every once in a while, which could lose me some business....haha. since i had been thinking about becoming a wedding planner, i looked into it and found a certification program that's all inclusive. the program takes a shorter amount of time (about 6 months) and costs half of what one semester at the school i'm looking at costs. since i love saving money, and am very impatient, this would seem like the better choice for me, but i do still love books and think being a librarian or doing archives would be a great career. AHHHHHHH! such a dilemma. as of right now, i'm still leaning towards the library science degree. i've already applied, been accept, and sent in my transcript, so i'm waiting to see what classes, if any i will need to take before i can get started on the actual degree. with the wedding planner one, i could start right away, even right now and be done around christmas or so...yeah. so, let me know what you think! i'd love feed back. i need as much help as i can get! hahah.
back to Portland and our adventure:
Friday we went to the OMSI (http://www.omsi.edu/) which is portland's equivalent of the Fort Worth Science Museum, but smaller, i think. still just as cool, if not a little cooler (that being owed to the Narnia exhibit. what wasn't cool is they didn't allow pictures of the exhibit, and even though i could've snuck a pic with my phone, i'm too good of a person to do so. boo.) the first exhibit we went into was about babies; the pregnancy cycle and everything in between. they even had real fetuses (don't freak out, they had a disclaimer saying that the babies died of natural causes and were kept for research.) from the beginning, right after the egg has been fertilized, to full grown baby. it was really interesting and cool. that probably sounds weird, but i don't care. i didn't take pictures bc they could seem a little disturbing. jarrod said he was glad he hadn't eaten before viewing that, if that gives you a clue. i can, however, show you some pics of other exhibits! yeah!

BUT speaking of food! i was told about the most amazing food cart known to man: The Grilled Cheese Grill!!! oh yeah!!! (http://www.grilledcheesegrill.com/) i plan on visiting very soon, probably by myself since jarrod is so picky. :P and doesn't like cheese. i will eat here though! hahah.
anywho, yesterday we didn't do anything but work. LAME.
in a little bit we're gonna head to the Saturday Market downtown (yeah, it's sunday, but so what. that's what it's called) to do some fresh/local grocery shopping before we hit the grocery store.
that's been our weekend. woo.
before i go i'd like to say HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! to my dads, and all the lucky dads out there! :)
