In 2022, Noah was offered a job with Thermofisher Scientific where he would be a part of a rotational program, meaning we'd move twice in two years. In June, we found out we would be headed to Hillsboro, Oregon, about 10-15 miles outside of Portland. With my job being remote, it was a no brainer to pack up and move!

About a week before we left, on the Fourth of July, Noah proposed. It was a truly magical night celebrating with our family and friends before we headed out.

Living in Oregon was everything we could have possibly dreamed of and more. Four beautiful seasons, amazing food, and true nature everywhere. We were an hour away from the beach, and an hour away from the mountains. We could not have asked for a more scenic home away from home. We enjoyed hiking, learning about the history and trying all sorts of new food on the weekends. I was able to finish my MBA while we were there & Noah learned so much through his job and wonderful community at work. We truly will cherish our year in Oregon for the rest of our lives.

In June of 2023, we learned our next year would be spent on the east coast, in Asheville, North Carolina.
