the concise update...

here's an overall update of what we are up to, the abbreviated version, in case you don't want to read through my babble...

the move:
we start loading the truck at 10 am saturday. (it looks like we'll have a good group to help...all are invited, so if you are just dying to help us, please come) we hope to start the drive that afternoon or evening. we are aiming to arrive in portland and unload the truck on monday.

travis' training at horizon:
travis will be in training for a month in portland starting feb 16...which means i get to see him every night! after that, he'll have two weeks of training in the simulator in seattle...then off to denver to start work. (he'll be commuting there for a few months)

unpacking:
we found an apartment close to the airport and kobie gets to unpack all the boxes that travis packed up (and hopefully kobie won't be cursing under her breath at how travis packed them up!)

and working:
i'll continue to do graphic design, mainly for my clients in phoenix. (what a blessing to not have to look for a new job, but be able to start work right when i get there...i think that is a blessing, at least!)

and house hunting:
we will begin the search for a house in portland or surrounding area. we are very ready to settle in somewhere and are very excited about our first house!! we hope to find something in the next 6 months.
