Well we got into Portland around 7pm last night.  Dave and Christy Lerwick picked us up from the airport, took us out to dinner, and let us stay the night at their house.  It is a wonderful blessing to have friends and family all over this country.

Today Ryan headed home.  School starts for him in just a matter of days, so he needed to start heading back.

I on the other hand, have no reason to get home, so I am slowly making my way home, and I am starting by going North instead of south.  I still have several interviews to do, and one of them is in the Seattle area.  I will be going back up there on Sunday, and then coming back down to Monmouth on Monday.  I do not have an exact schedule yet, but I do know everywhere I am going to stop on the way home, the problem is that I have not yet decided how long to stay in each place, especially how long to stay here in the Portland area.  I really like this area, and so I am not in a rush to leave it, especially since I have a lot of good friends up here.

Here is all the places I plan on stopping at on my way home:

• Medford, OR
• Monterey Bay, California
• Redwood National Park
• Redding, CA
• Brentwood, CA
• San Mateo, CA
• San Luis Obispo, CA
• Fresno, CA (Maybe)
• LONG BEACH, CA

As soon as I figure out how long I am staying everywhere, I will keep you all up to date on my schedule, but as of now it feels very freeing to not have to be anywhere.
