A term we have sort of coined over this past month is "The Year of Lasts." 2011 holds in store for us many "lasts" here in Portland. Obviously, if you haven't heard the news you will be quite confused upon reading this. Our news is that this will be our last year in Portland for we are on to the next chapter. In Spring of 2012 I will be finishing up my undergrad and Wes would like to continue on to Grad school in Scotland. Scotland isn't for sure yet since Wes has not yet applied but we know that the goal is to go abroad for a year and then move back to Sacramento (If this is brand new information to you, please email me for more details, we'd love to tell you the full story).
As I write and think about all that it entails to move away from Portland I fight to hold back tears. A year goes by so fast. And although, I can hardly contain my excitement for what lies ahead for us, we will miss Portland forever. I could not have planned a better place to kick off our first few years of marriage. I am so thankful that Wes and I did move away when we got married. This time has been tremendously important in growing us, and teaching us. Well anyway, no need to get too far ahead of myself here... we do still have over a year left to enjoy what we have here. But this will be, the year of last's in Portland: our last Summer, our last Christmas, our last September to see the Swifts, and our last year to have visitors. (ha ha hint-hint). We are excited for what the future holds and will certainly be holding on to our dear blog to keep you all posted each step of the way. You can bet for darn sure that the blog will be coming to Europe with us. :) We love you all, thank you for your unfailing support.
