3 Month Maineversary!

Today is our 3 Month Maineversary!

In honor of this milestone, here is a list to summarize the last three months of our adventure:

1) We love living on the coast. Walking on the beach is our favorite activity to do together. We don’t walk the beach as often in cold weather, but we bundle up and take a stroll at least once a week. It relaxes us.

2) We have yet to find a Chinese restaurant that has better general tso chicken then Beijing Schezwan (Lititz, PA) or spring rolls as good as Molly Woos (Columbus, OH). We also haven’t found a local pizza place that will be “our place”. We have tried three places, but none are better than Today’s Pizza (Mt. Joy, PA). Maybe we have too high of expectations.

3) We love Portland. It is the coolest city. We love the culture, restaurants, location, and pretty much everything else.

4) There have definitely been things we never expected. The biggest one being the craziness of my former job that yes, is still an issue (but I can’t elaborate any more right now). It wouldn’t be an adventure without a few bumps in the road, right?

5) For some reason, I thought that living in a big apartment complex would be like living in a dorm. I pictured people leaving their doors open and having people just stop in to say hi. Yeah, it is absolutely nothing like that. I still don’t think I’ve ever seen the girl who lives beside us. But, we do love living in our building.

6) We have yet to register our cars or get a Maine driver's license. If we get caught it will be a huge fine. Apparently they are really strict about it. We definitely need to do it soon., but it is just such  a hassle and super expensive. 

7) We have become involved in GracePoint Church. The church is full of young people and we like going to their small group on Tuesday nights. I got on the nursery and "morning munchies" schedule and Jonathan is on the offering schedule. He even lead small groups last week when the Pastor and his wife were in the hospital for the birth of their 2nd daughter. 

8) We have met some great people. I hope we continue to grow closer and form great friendships.
