We had a great time in our visit to Washington state. I interviewed Micro Encoder and met a lot of nice people there. Lorena and the kids stayed in the brand new Marriott (opened just last week) in downtown Redmond. It was absolutely super. I am supposed to receive an offer today sometime. I still do not know whether I should take it, even if it comes.

Lorena really does not want to go. We are in our beautiful new house. Lorena is enrolled in the community college here. Oregon is a very homeschool friendly state. We are closer to family. We love our Sunday morning meeting. There are lots of reasons to stay here. The only reasons I have for not staying are that I would make a lot of money in Washington with a much better title and I would have what appears to be a more stable job. That is a lot, but I do not know if it is enough. We really like living in Albany.

One thing great that happened over the weekend is that we finished seeing Around the World in Eighty Days and then went and saw the movie. The movie really was pretty pathetic compared to the book and that is exactly what I wanted the kids to see. We had a super time doing the reading and were quite excited about seeing the movie, but they changed the movie from the book so much that it was almost not recognizeable!
