We have a Portland address! And it’s in the neighborhood I wanted! Yay!

No, we don’t have a house yet. We got a box at the UPS Store. I called them to see if we could go ahead and set it up remotely and we could. Peter and I were worried about how we would do the change of address thing on all our stuff since we are going to have a temporary place for an undetermined amount of time before we get our permanent address.

This is a big relief because now we have a guaranteed address for a year we can give to our clients. We can slowly segue them to our permanent address when the time comes. Although the more I think of it the more I like the idea of having a separate address for business, so we may just keep it.

We have a P.O. Box in Saint Louis with the USPS. Those who know me know I am a total USPS groupie; I love the Postal Service and have a slight stamp obsession. BUT I have learned that UPS boxes are totally awesom-er because:

• Your address looks like a suite, not a P.O. box. Example: 123 Sesame St #987, Portland OR
• You have 24-hour key access to go check your mail
• You can CALL AHEAD to see if you have mail so you aren’t making an unnecessary trip

Anyway our UPS box is around Laurelhurst/Grant Park area, which I adore and hope we will live near.  Hoo-ray!
