Day 17 and counting

Today is a nasty day in Portland, Oregon to be packing and moving boxes. So what is the next best thing?... Christmas shopping! What a mess! I went today at 11 am thinking I would beat a crazy mob of people. No, not so much. But I did get some shopping done and I even bought a gift for my host family :) I had to get something small and able to travel. It is so hard to shop for someone you never met. I figured some chocolates and jam from Made in Oregon would fit everyone's needs. I am almost done with the shopping and hoping that tomorrow would be somewhat dry, so I can make a trip to the good old storage unit. Moving is a pain!
