Insert clever title (and while we're making one up, witty and insightful as well)

Ok, we've hit the two week mark.
Adam is still loving his job although a lot more of the store politics and drama are starting to make themselves known. Adam's discovered that a lot has changed in the Starbucks corporation, and that some of it is definitely contributing to the in-store tension.
I've gotten a part-time position answering phones and doing reception at a salon about 15 minutes from the apartment, and 10 minutes from Adam's store. It's definitely not something I want to be doing long-term, so it's a good thing that I will have absolutely no problem leaving work at work. Unfortunately, they don't really have the time to train me until after I get back from DC (more about that in a minute). I've also heard back from Village Home, they're only able to give me one class this year. The closest approximation I can come up with is High School Acting and Scene Work. However, next year, they are losing the other woman who teaches theater classes, and since the administrator Lori liked a lot of my ideas, they're hoping to give me more classes next year. So...long story short, I still need more work. I've sent out dozens of resume's, encountered a couple of craigslist scams, done many, many walk-ins. I'm hoping that this will get easier as back-to-school time comes. Afternoon nannies, Barnes&Noble slaves going back to college, something... I've also started sending out headshots and audition requests to local theater companies. The Portland Area Theatre Alliance just had their summer auditions, so I'll have to wait until January to do city-wide auditions.
A few days after we moved here, I email-ed my four best friends from college to let them know I couldn't come to Girls' Weekend this summer due to finances. Every summer, in lieu of Christmas/Birthday presents, we spend a few days together. It started with my wedding, then last summer we stayed with Heather and Jill in the Twin Cities. This summer we're visiting with Cassiah in DC. Anyway, within 12 hours of sending that email, the girls contacted me and said that they were taking care of it and that there was no way they were letting me miss out. So, I'm leaving on the evening of the 22nd and flying back on the 28th. Oh, and we're hosting next summer.
Last night we tried attending the Saturday evening service at The Table. Attendance was small (abnormally so, according the greeters), but the people were very friendly. We're not so sure it was the best fit for us. The message was ok, not exactly the par we're used to (Ethan and Dad are hard acts to follow). The worship was on the abysmal side, it hurt Adam a little. The only people we saw who were our age had children, multiple, in most instances. So, we're starting church shopping. We looked into Beaverton Christian Church (Randy's old church, and I think Joel & Kristy's current). Adam also talked to Tommy about which church they're attending now. As much as we liked an alternatively timed service, if I get into theater, there would have been issues anyway. We're working on balancing that with Adam having to work the afternoon/closing shift on Sundays.
We hit the Saturday Farmer's Market again this weekend. Love those uber-fresh veggies! We're also interested eventually in the artisan breads, local wines, cheeses, and honey. This weekend we're also going to belatedly celebrate our second anniversary by actually going out for food and a movie!
It's raining. Really raining. It's the first time we've seen it since we moved here. It's pretty.
