Nick is an owner of a small consulting firm doing environmental engineering/geology. Janet is a social worker for Yamhill County working specifically with youth from alcohol/other drug affected homes. Nick and Janet met initially in 1990 when we were both new to Oregon. After many twists of faith and serendipitous turns, we ended up renter/rentee in 1994. Got goopy for each other eight months later, and married in October of 1996. Life is good, and sometimes complicated. Nick is currently traveling a great deal with his company, in fact is in Estonia at this time. Look it up on the Atlas, I had to, it's between Russia and Finland on the Baltic Sea. He has some great stories to tell of his travels over there, including spending Easter in St. Petersburg.
