our last days on the island of misfit toys

the time is nearing when we'll be saying "so long" to good 'ole portland. we've both been through quite a wide range of emotions the past few weeks. from elation (lucky got an unexpected week of vacation because her dumb boss let her go a week early); to excitement (two weeks on the road driving across the country with stops in super fun places like vegas, san diego and nawlins); to sadness (leaving great friends and our wonderful neighborhood and apartment) and anticipation (a new city, new friends, new jobs and becoming homeowners). life is all about change, they say - whoever "they" are - and we're definitely on the verge of some major changes. we look forward to seeing what unfolds.

in the meantime, we're going to do our best to update this blog during our travels (which begin on 8.31) so be sure to check back often. hey, it'll be like you're riding in our backseat, wedged between the cooler and bag of snacks.

as always, we're sending lots of love and hugs across the country...the girlz
