TRANSITIONS

When we returned to Portland after our very long flight, we were greeted by my parents. It was so wonderful of them to drive us to Salem so we could sign our lease and see our new apartment.

Afterwards we headed to Eugene and went straight to Papa's Pizza (our favorite place in the world) where we met Darin and Laura and the boys, Alisa and Rick and Elijah, and even my brother David. We were able to truly enjoy our time together before the world started to get fuzzy and we had to head to bed (at 7pm).

Our time over the next week was a whirl wind of meeting with friends and family, driving to Seattle for New Year's with friends and a visit to our Aunt Teri. We then came back to Salem and met Walt (David's Dad) and my brothers for the big move into our new place. It only took five hours because of the fantastic helpers we had and one week later we have just two boxes left to put away.

We are living in South Salem this time around, and we are making our apartment (which is a bit older than the last one) our very own and it is fun to see our things that we had so dearly missed for the past four months.

Please know that we have a two bedroom apartment for one reason, and one reason only...WE WANT TO SEE YOU! Please know that if you are in Salem, you are welcome to join us and you always have a warm bed.

Please keep us in your prayers as we head into this next chapter of our lives. David will take 14 credits this spring and then he will prepare for taking the Oregon Bar which is in July. I am looking for a teaching position and will sub in the area until something opens up.

We are transitioning back from the life that we were leading and loving and we look forward to catching up with each of you. Thank you for following along with our journey and please know that we are going to keep the blog going--it is a great way to stay in touch and keep our lives connected with others.

Happy New Year.
