been awhile.

I apologize for how long it has been but we haven't really had much to report.

Lets see...

We have a friend that I am sure I have mentioned, Brandy, who worked with me in Richmond who also lives out here. We see her about once a week. Well, last weekend Rick and she discovered that they went to elementary and middle school together. You gotta understand we have been hanging out with her for the past 6 months pretty regularly and they just now realized it. Small world eh?

So in other big news (not that the wedding isn't big enough!) Rick and I have decided not to stay in Portland. We absolutely love it here but have decided it is just too far away. It is going to create problems later when we decide to have children and neither of us what to raise our children 3000 away from aunts and uncles and grandparents.

SO... We are thinking Greenville, South Carolina. We picked this spot because it is close to the Bostons, close to the mountains, close to the beach and close enough to Richmond that we wouldn't have to miss work to visit for the weekend.

We haven't worked all the specifics out yet but right now we are thinking we will move after the wedding. That way we can use our honeymoon money to travel across the bottom half of the country and knock out a few more notches in my belt for the 50 states and it will be a good time to camp across the country. And then hopefully after the new year we can take a tropical honeymoon to some place really relaxing.

So that is what is going on with us. A lot can change in 6 months so nothing is set in stone, but it looks like either way we are definitely going to be east coasters.

We love you all!

Love,
your not-for-long oregonians.
