- Close to family - just a three hour drive for Mom to come visit! And only two hours up to Will's Grandpa.
- Rain! I'm very excited to be headed back to the green Northwest. (Will is going to miss the snow, but I promised him we can come back and visit it)
- OHSU - when I interviewed I loved the program and am so excited about getting started in June.
- Powells - one of my favorite used bookstores
- Public Transportation - between the MAX(the rail system), the streetcar and buses we hope to continue getting around with just one car.
- A real job for Will - we're not sure with who, or what he will be doing - but we excited about it! ....we have dreams of Nike....but we'll see
- Being able to visit the Oregon Coast - beautiful!
- A new apartment - we've made a washer and a dryer a priority - we can do without a dishwasher, but I'm so excited to be able to throw my laundry in when I leave the house in the morning.
- No sales tax in Oregon - feel free to come visit and go shopping!
- Voodoo Donuts! We haven't been but we've heard it's quite the adventure - we're planning a quick trip down to Portland in December and this is on our list.

I'm so excited to have Sara and Will come to Portland. It's one of my favorite getaway spots. Since Sara and Blake left home, my visits have been less frequent. But now I'll have more reasons than ever to go. I know Sara will be really busy, but I promise to bring papers to grade and then we can take study breaks together.
Sara and Will -- Loved your list -- I know your Mom is so excited to have you that close! I've heard about Powell's Bookstore - maybe we'll get to come see you sometime and go visit Powell's. -- Uncle Karl
