Good Bye Oregon

I remember leaving Salt Lake three years ago and thinking someday it will be hard to leave Oregon. It was hard for me to imagine then, but that bitter sweet moment I thought about three years ago has arrived. Our summary of Oregon would have to begin with what brought us here in the first place. Devin has worked so hard to complete his graduate degree. I often under estimate the sacrifice he has endured to be able to do something he loves and to provide for his family. I am so thankful for him. I am thankful for my Oregon family. Chiropractic families that we have spent holidays with and shared our most precious moments with. My co-workers some of whom have become my friends for life. You have been a great strength to me and I am so grateful to you. I am however through all the sadness of leaving excited to be home and closer to our family. Having Nola only made that desire stronger. It has been the best three years, but also the roughest. I feel refined and a little more experienced. The time has come to start the rest of our lives. Good bye Everyone. Good bye Oregon.

One week and counting

We have packed up just about half the house now and are anxiously awaiting for next Monday to come. Tuesday we officially leave, but Monday we can load up. Devin is so close to being done we can actually smell it. Everyone keeps asking me if I am excited to move and I just keep saying YES! Oregon has been home for three years, but it's time to really go home. Devin has not been home for good in 6 long years. It's time. We have paid our dues. We have stayed our stay. I never thought leaving would feel so right!

Nola's first Oreo

This wasn't my smartest mom moment. I probably should have put her in her high chair so I didn't have to clean the carpet too, but Oh well she loved it.

Hanging out with Scarlet Humphreys

Cheesecake with Nola

I made cheesecake and thought Nola would like some.
I have never seen her lick a spoon clean yet!

New Bike

We sold our car for more then we thought we would so we splurged and got Nola some new toys.
