Moving in two months.
Looks like I’ll be moving to McMinnville in about two months.
I’m ending a four year relationship and leaving my apartment in Portland to focus on getting my financial life back on track. It’s a mix of emotions right now. Part of me is excited, part of me is stressed, but overall I’m feeling hopeful about what comes next.
One of the biggest reasons for the move is that my dad recently had a heart attack, so I’ll be moving in with my parents for a while to help out and spend more time with family.
I had a chance to visit and explore town this weekend, and honestly it felt refreshing. Things seemed a little slower, a little quieter, and for the first time in a while I felt at peace. I’m looking forward to getting settled, exploring more of the area, and hopefully building a simpler life for a bit.
I’m in my late 30s, a big gamer, and a gay man. I’ve spent most of my adult life in the Portland area, so I honestly have no idea what to expect from life in McMinnville beyond the few visits I’ve made. I’d love to hear from locals about what they enjoy most about living there, what the community is like, and any recommendations for places, events, hobbies, or groups that might help someone new get connected.
Looking forward to becoming part of the community and seeing what this next chapter brings.
