my new job / house / town / life.
I found a really cool house!!!!!
It's a brick house with a fireplace in the living room, hardwood in EVERY room, a big basement for my projects, a big garage, a beautiful view, and it's less than five miles from my new job in downtown Portland. I AM SOOOO HAPPY. I can barely afford the rent, but that's called life. my only complaint is that oregon won't let you pump your own gas, and I hate that. maybe it's a mechanic thing, but I don't want some guy doing that, it's a sacred ceremony and a bonding time between me and my car. Am I the only one who feels that way? or what? OH yeah, I almost forgot, DON'T WHIZZ ON THE ELECTRIC FENCE ! ! ! ! !

Life is treating us pretty good...Saundra is getting married on Fri..so I get to see the Absters...very very excited...Porland...woot-woot...that won't be too bad of a place to live in..I tried to call you back the other day...but you didn't answer..sadness:( I hope all is well with you and I hope we can connect on the telephono soon! -
Sounds like an amazing house..the fireplace would be my favorite part..curling up with a book..next to it...with hot cocoa.....heaven on earth -
Oh, sure. As soon as I move from Portland, you move there. That is so typical. -
i'm happy for you, mark! congratulations with everything! -
Congrats on the great job and house. What is the address so that we can all show up uninvited and throw you a party? LOL! And, um, yeah, I think that you are the only one that obsessed with gas pumping. Silly boy! :-) -
Mark Mark Mark... how i miss you and your quirkiness... (ya fit right in with Kristen and i!) -
okay, hey all, it's been a while since i said anything, the net has been on the fritz here, and busy as usual with work anyway. (also i'm lazy) so i bought a 1971 baja bug and now the gas pump guys can't figure out where to put the gas, so that's funny to watch. also it's a pretty ugly car that i'm not attached to yet, so i don't mind so much about the mandatory fuel pumping. -
the nastisizer isn't mine, it's nate's. i just link to it. -
haha you cant pump your own gas -
baja bug...that has some potential, yeah? -
I thought you might be amused by watching this... -
Man, I can't wait to come down and see your new place. Did you get the TV in yet? -
So where is your new job. Will you be able to work on my wife's new Acura? -
my new job's in portland, and i totally don't know how acura's work, sorry. also i can't get the tv this weekend cause I need a couple of guys to load it into the truck and everybody is busy this weekend, but maybe next weekend we can get it here. i need the truck and like 3 or 4 guys to lift it. oh well, it'll be worth it when i can watch it. -
me, my mom, and kevin are gonna be driving through portland in about a week! hope you're still loving it! -
hey man this is aaron..from ontario -
Have you talked to my sister lately? -
4/14/07 -- Mark got fired from his hated job in Portland, and found another the same week that lasted for a few months. After that (recently), he packed up everything and moved back to WA with NO plans in mind, just a desire to be back with the Kirkland church. On the way there, an old friend called him and offered him the job of, in his own words, a "glorified janitor." He is working in downtown Seattle fixing plumbing, air conditioning, and general maintaince. Once his training is complete, he will be a building engineer making 60-80K/year. Cool, no?
