Hey there,
Did I miss a post? Someone is moving into your guest room?

No missing posts, we just hadn't posted anything about it yet. Drew's a grad student in my lab -- started in school a year before I did in Seattle. In his second year, the lab moved from Seattle to Portland and Drew came too -- leaving his family and girlfriend (now fiancee) behind. He's finishing up now and is anxious to get back -- however his committee is making him jump through a few more hoops in terms of experiments before he can start writing (up in seattle). So his lease ends Monday and he's moving out of his place tomorrow (packing the truck and moving his stuff into storage in seattle). Then, he'll be coming back down and staying in our guest room when he's in town getting the last of his experiments finished. After that, it's off to Seattle... meaning writing his dissertation, getting his doctorate in pharmacology, living with his wife-to-be, and being close to his friends and family. We're just a pit-stop along the way, kind of like what the Church's did for us.

Funny, when you do a google search for drew all you find is a picture and story of his beloved. Those interested in more than cars can find him and Jen on their wedding website.
