Saying Goodbye to Portland

Well, we're officially gone from Portland. We miss our friends a lot and Portland will always have a special place in our hearts. Our last week or so was mostly filled with packing and signing escrow papers, but we did try to get out and enjoy a few uniquely Portland things.

We took Ellie to Mt. Tabor and pushed her in a swing for the first time. She loved it, but was even more fascinated by the tall trees all around her. We've discovered that she really loves the outdoors.

Packing and loading took several days. Thankfully many great friends from our small group stepped up and helped us have a garage sale one weekend and load the moving truck the next weekend. Thank you! In the end, all our possessions took 16' in the moving trailer.

On Sunday, April 5th we loaded up the car and our teeny trailer to pull behind it and left Portland. Unfortunately, we didn't get away until around 4pm, so we didn't get nearly as far as we wanted to, but that's another story...

Goodbye Portland!
