I have so much going on right now, I wish I could tell you all about it, but won't for two reasons: One, I'm afraid I'll bore you to death and two, I am just so exhausted and can't find the time. Maybe someday I will tell you all about the chaos we're experiencing, but for now you'll just have to trust me that things are absolutely nuts! We fly out Thursday, yet this whole thing still doesn't seem real. I suppose that's normal? Anyhow, wanted to pop in and say hello, sorry I've been such a bad blogger, and I promise I'll be back soon. Hope this little post will tide you over!

It never seems real until we get there.
ReplyDeleteExciting + Surreal = Real life, sometimes.. and this is your time.
Enjoy.
Cheers!
I feel you-I am moving to Kenya in two weeks and it is quite emotionally draining -I just want to be there and settled in already. However, you have Corey-so it is just exciting rather than nerve racking. Enjoy the excitment.

PS: My husband and I are thinking of moving to Portland! We live in Phx right now but are really wanting a change and he can hopefully transfer out to Portland with is job. I am school social worker so I might have a harder time finding a job. Your blog has been so much fun to read and also helpful. I'm loving all of the restaurants you have featured. Seems like I would enjoy the city.
