Everyone has been very kind to me. Pierre and Lori are easing me in slowly, and I appreciate that. Next week Erica and Ryan Bolls are going to give me an overview of their account. I'm looking forward to having assignments and helping people.
It doesn't quite feel like I work at W+K. Even after a week, it hasn't sunk in yet. This must be what a ball player feels like after being called to the big leagues. He knows he's in the big leagues, but I imagine it still feels odd to him when he steps up to the plate to face a pitcher he grew up admiring. It's like a dream.
Two Realtors told us their clients were going to put in an offer on our house, but neither actually did. We have a showing tomorrow, and we hope they are the ones who buy the house! We hope every one is the one who buys the house.
I checked out some homes in Sherwood yesterday, but they were not that spectacular given our space needs. I'm looking at a few more tomorrow, after I attend the Portland temple for the first time and take a tour of an apartment complex in Sherwood, which is where I assume we'll live until the house we buy or rent is ready for us.
Tonight I took advantage of some free time by walking around downtown Portland. I stopped by REI, then headed over to Powell's Books. That bookstore is so far and away the best bookstore on earth. I saw this book and it reminded me how much I despise the term "best practices." I banned its use within 100 feet of me while at Gates.

I then headed to Trader Joe's, and along the way walked by the stadium where the men's and women's professional soccer teams play. The stadium fits perfectly into its surrounding neighborhood. I picked up a few things at Trader Joe's and then walked back to my apartment.

I hope we get an offer on our house tomorrow, I hope the apartment complex is nice, and I hope I find us a nice place to live in Sherwood. I often think that I'd love to get a sneak peak of my next blog entry, but that's what makes life so exciting...anticipation!
