Update and Conclusion

7/2/12 Hi blog friends!!! It's been so long! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be sitting here writing this blog. It has been a busy ten days (well, a busy month really...). Since  my last post: graduation happened, we celebrated our four year anniversary, we moved out of our apartment in portland and moved it all into storage in California, Wes' grandfather passed away and we celebrated my 25th birthday. We've seen so many faces in these last ten days... It's been incredible.  Now we are sitting here in the Sacramento airport wondering what just happened to us and what lies ahead. It was quite the whirlwind. I feel as though I am just going through the motions... 7/5/2012 Hello again!! Since writing that first paragraph a couple of days have gone by... As of now I am sitting on a train headed towards Delft! Before detailing out how are first few days in Europe have gone, I want to tell you about our new blog.  NEW BLOG??  Yes, new blog... Towards the end of our time in Portland we started discussing the idea of starting something fresh. I was very sad about the idea of ditching 26th Street Sentiments (after all, it's documented all first four years of our marriage); but really I still wanted something fresh and easy to use for our Europe travels. So we started thinking of fun new blog names... Many of you have heard it already but for those of you who haven't, I'd like to introduce you to: SOCKS!  You can visit our new blog titled "SOCKS!" at this link: Ourfriendsocks.tumblr.com So why "SOCKS!" you ask? Well, Socrates is the name of our imaginary English bull dog (shortened from the name "Socrates" of course). Since the beginning of our marriage we've dreamed of having an English bull dog named Socrates (and a husky named Aristotle but that's for another time....). Often while walking to the grocery store or other daily happenings, we'd take Socks with us. So we thought what better than a blog dedicated to him? I drew up a simple line drawing of a bulldog and together we designed the blog banner.  Anyway, we are very excited for our new blog location. One thing to note about it...  If you were on our email list you will still receive blogs at your email address. However, not all of them. We are blogging through a different website now which unfortunately doesn't do automated emails. I will have to forward my blogs to you myself. I won't have time to do this always and so you will often have to actually go to our blog site to view the latest. I will try my best to still email them to you when I can.  Thank you for your support and faithful readership over the past four years. I expect blogging to be apart of our life always... It wouldn't be the same if no one liked reading it. 26th street isn't going anywhere, it's just being discontinued. So now, go read about our first days in Europe over on SOCKS!  Love you guys!
