Sawing Trees and Ripping Out Stumps

Portland

If you haven't heard yet, we are moving to Portland Oregon. In a previous post I talked about our trip to Portland. The purpose of that trip was for Justin to go and interview with a couple of different companies that work largely with the forestry industry. Upon our return home we really had no plans of moving there because the job offers weren't really anything better than what we had there.

At first we felt really good about our decision to stay in Logan, UT. As time went on though, things just weren't what we wanted. On a Tuesday night after work I asked Justin what he thought we should do. He smiled at me and said, "Pierce Pacific called me today."

The General Sales Manager had contacted him for the second time and said that they would really like Justin to come work for them. A week later we got exact measurements for the position and they got a commitment from us.

We are so excited for this move and feel like the Lord has really guided us to this point in our life. The company, Pierce Pacific, is a manufacturing company that produces specialized equipment for big machinery. Alot of this equipment is used in the forestry industry. For that reason, Justin is really excited.

He will be training for the first six months and then will move into a position as a sales/product support specialist. The only thing that concerns me about this move is the rain. When I was 18 I spent a lot of time on the western side of Oregon and that was the hardest thing for me. However, I know this is what we are supposed to be doing, so I trust I will adjust ok.

We will be sad to leave the wonderful friends and people we have met in Cache Valley, but are so looking forward to the new people and experiences we will get to have. I am looking forward to the Outlet Mall we will be living next to. :)
