Will she delay our travels?

Saying Goodbye

Tomorrow we hit the road. The first stop is DC. We'll unload our stuff and gear up for Costa Rica.

It's hard to say goodbye. Portland has so many wonderful people and I'm sad to see that end. I know we'll be back a million times over to visit, but the truth is when you move, it's never the same. Your friendships change with a big move.

Myles and I won't be a part of the monthly play dates and dinners with the new moms group. I won't meet up with my weekly dates(you know who you are). Kira won't meet up with her most treasured friends at the dog park. Morgan and I won't have evening dinner dates with our great friends here. I won't see the neighbors outside on a warm afternoon for a spontaneous play date to occur. And I won't have the same great workout partners to meet early in the morning for a run.

But that is the way it is. I consider myself (and family) super lucky to have met and befriended an amazing group of Portlanders. Thanks for making our lives over the past three years pretty amazing. LOVE you all!
