We have lived in this apartment for over a year and it was my favorite. It was big, had beautiful windows, lots of natural light, and huge closets.

Our building itself was amazing. I will miss the manager, our doorman, and the coffee station in the lobby every morning.

Even though my job is paying for moving, including packing, (which is awesome by the way), we had to do a fair amount of cleaning and organization before hand. We donated 7 bags of clothing and shoes.

And the amount of trash we threw away was unbelievable.

On moving day, they came, they packed, they loaded.

Looking around the empty apartment made me sad.

A lot of good times were had here. And lots of foos matches in the former foos ball room were won and lost +/- double watermelon vodka shots!

This is the last pic I took from the balcony. [sniff sniff]

Beautiful rainy Portland.

As I pulled out of the garage for the last time, I looked lovingly at our covered parking spots. So great in rainy Portland.

Coming out of the garage, with nowhere to really go, my car automatically drove itself to the mall.

A little retail therapy perhaps?

I’m eating cheap Chinese food in the food court using the free wifi.

Let’s see what I can buy to make myself feel better.

Tonight, I stay at my in-laws. Over the next 3 months, I will couch surf and house-sit as many homes as I possibly can. Blog worthy for sure!
