New Baby, Job Transfer, Bought Home, Moving to OR!, 914 Content I Swear Options

[Britain Smith]

It has been a busy couple of months, but it is all official now. I am moving to Oregon!

I got a transfer approved for my job and took my family to OR this weekend and bought our first house. It doesn't have the 3 car garage that I really wanted, but it is close in my job and has everything that will keep the wife happy! All of this has been motivated by the ridiculous housing prices in the Bay Area (median is now $705,000) and the enviroment (i.e. schools) that my newborn son will be growing up in. We are very excited.

Now for the 914 content...

1. I will be in the Portland area for the WCC 2006!!

2. On my drive back home on Sunday, I saw two very clean looking yellow 914's and one orange one with chrome side door trim traveling Northbound between Eugene and Portland.

So, who in the Bay Area wants to help me move? I will be getting a large Rental Truck the last week in Sept. and two car trailers (one for the teener and one for the '69 912).

Anyone up in the Portland area wanna help my upload?

Thanks to all who have replied.

We are moving to Hillsboro, OR. I work at Intel and will be living close to the campus there.

As for the trailer, I would buy it but would have no place to put it. Send me some pictures, we shall see.

Dave, I might take you up on the offer to help drive up and pay for a trip back for you. We have the rental truck with one trailer and the Yukon with the other. The probably is, we have a 6 week old baby and would have to stop several times if my wife had to drive one of the vehicles.

Lyressa, no worries. My wife and I might plan a get together for all of our friends here in Sept.

Jeff, you can only afford a house if you move out of this place. I have several friend with PhD's who graduated for one of the top graduate programs in the US for semiconductors and can't afford a house in this area. It is pretty said that people with good jobs and good education can't buy a house without having to put everything on the line with a interest only or zero down loan. You now know what I had to do to get aroud it.
