We're moving to Corvallis, Oregon in July!!! Mark found his dream practice and it's been pretty amazing the way the whole thing has come about. We both feel really good about our decision and are excited to get settled in and buy our first home and begin "Real Life" as I call it.
We made a trip back to Corvallis the first part of November and fell in love with the city. It's a little bigger than Logan (where Mark and I both grew up) with a population of 53,900 people. It is home to Oregon State University so it has that college town feel to it and it also has a cute little downtown with lots of boutique shopping and one of a kind restaurants. There are bike lanes and trails everywhere and tree-lined streets and neighborhoods (just what Mark has always wanted). The fall colors were brilliant when we were there and we had lots of sunshine the first day but also had a little taste of the fog and gray skies. The gray is my main concern but I've lived through Columbus, Ohio winters. Corvallis only has 8 more cloudy days a year than Columbus and yet it doesn't get nearly as cold. The temperatures are pretty mild year round.
Mark will associate for one year and then have the opportunity to begin the buy in process to become a partner. He'll eventually buy the doctor out when he retires. It's a great opportunity and we are thrilled about it! We just wish we were a little closer to home but 12 hours is definitely doable. We'd love for you all to visit!

Congrats! Corvallis looks like everything you guys hoped for. I'm so happy for you and your quickly expanding family. We'll have to make a trip to Oregon. I have to meet these twins. You look so cute pregnant with twins. I can't wait to hear when you have them. Best of luck.

Hey Lindsey, your mom gave me your blog, I hope that is okay! Congrats on your beautiful family. And this summer welcome to the Pacific Northwest. You would be like 250 miles from us.
