The Cheeburg Family Resides in Cheese Town
Hey, y'all! Sorry for the length between updates! I was waiting for us to get settled and for Nick to land a job before I updated, all of which has happened this week!
All told, we ended up spending about a month on Sauvie Island north of Portland and had a really lovely time. Between taking the dogs to the Columbia, having people over for dinner, or hanging out with friends and family in Portland August was a great month. We loved picking black berries just steps away from our door, getting to know our neighbors, and learning about RV living from some experienced veterans. We are still learning the ropes of RV life, but the transition has been so much easier than expected and we love our little home.
We moved to Tillamook on Labor Day (easiest move ever!) and I started work the next day. I love my school, my student, and the teachers. It's a really great fit, and I think it's going to be a wonderful year. Nick has kept himself busy contacting every travel nursing company available and taking care of lots of projects at home. This week he landed a job at a tiny little hospital in Lincoln City (about 45 miles south of us on the coast) and he couldn't be happier.
Life in Tillamook is definitely slower, but the scenery is so lovely (mountains, forests, beaches, oh my!) that we are adjusting quite nicely. We take the dogs to the beach at least once a week (they LOVE it, really we all do) and buy produce from the adorable farmer's market or roadside stands, and eat burritos from our favorite taco truck at least twice a week.
And then there's the cheese, obviously! OH MAN. We are eating a lot of yogurt, cheese, and ice cream, and it's pretty much the best ever. Basically as local as you can get, in that we drive by the cows that make the milk for these tasty dairy treats everyday. So good.
