Hitting the Oregon...err Washington Trail.

Yes people, the rumors are true. I am no longer one of the victims of the American economy...I now, have a job. Feel free to take a minute to get up from your seat and do a little jig in my honor. After months of searching, compounded with shoveling literally tons of snow and experiencing what can only be known as "domestic bliss"...I'm leaving it all behind to move to the big city. Well, it's not THE big city...but it's a pretty decent sized city.

I've been offered a position with a company called Global Energy Concepts in Seattle, Washington. For all intents and purposes, you can assume it's just a wind energy company...because that's essentially what it is.


In a drastic attempt to prepare for this move, my Mom and I flew out to Seattle last weekend to scout apartments for me. And due to the anal-retentive qualities I inherited from both the Bourne and Willis sides of the family...my planning found us place right downtown...and for a pretty reasonable price I might add.


Due to the early-on success of our trip, we had some time to hit some of the Seattle tourist attractions. We did a lot of walking throughout the city, down by the water, and in true tourist fashion, we even took a Duck Tour. I'm sure you're shaking your head at us...but it was fun, and the Bourne family isn't known for our seriousness. If we're going on a tour, dammit, we're going to quack at people while we're doing it.


Luckily, Seattle defied stereotypes and only coated us in rain for one day. As you can see above, we even got to see Mt. Rainier one day! Woop!

So, after I pack my bags up this week...I'll begin the drive out to the West Coast to start a new chapter beginning June 1, 2009. Wish me luck!
