Today’s the day I’m moving to Portland! It’s been a long time coming, but it is still hard to leave California. Saying goodbye to my family and friends was really weird. It’s an interesting kind of move because it isn’t for school or to be near anyone in particular – it’s for the community. It really all comes down to the fact that it feels right. And what a great feeling that is.

– I bought the most beautiful peonies this year! Hoping to get more in Portland before the season is over.

– I thought saying goodbye to my sisters would be awful, but they just hugged me and said “It’s okay, we’ll see you soon!” They’re coming to visit my when my dad brings my furniture up. Can’t wait.

– On Saturday I had my last day of work. It was, as my coworker described, “happy-sad”. I’ll be transferring to another Anthro store though and I am so dang excited!

I can’t wait to blog about my Portland adventures all summer long. If you live there, we should get coffee. :)
