so, i'm a little late in posting about this, but last month marked 2 years in the beautiful northwest...a place where nature and culture collide...
we've experienced a lot of what portland has to offer...loving the hikes, ocean, skiing, restaurants, microbrews, the best coffee you could imagine...this really is an amazing place. it feels like we've just been here a year, though. i feel like we are starting to settle in, but i'm not sure i'm completely at home, just yet...maybe it is being so far away from family, maybe it is all the moving we have done since college, maybe it is just because it is so different from where we grew up, that it will never quite feel like home.
regardless, we absolutely love it here. i'm not sure i'm going to be able to leave this area of the country (sorry mom) it has stolen my heart. if only oregon and oklahoma lived next to each other, the world would be perfect.
i have a rare situation where i could live in the same town as both my parents and my in-laws and be completely happy. i think i'm so blessed to have such an amazing family, so it is very hard being so far away from them. and i'm sure the arrival of mr. moore will make it that much harder...but we will make it work, because we are not leaving this superb place anytime soon!

Portland really is SO great, I spent last week soaking up the sun in San Diego and found myself still missing Portland.
I'm glad you both have moved up here and its been cool having you around for a couple years now.
Can't wait to meet Mr. Moore...
Maybe with enough visits out here they might end up moving.... ;)
mr. moore will be taking you to so many new and wonderful places in Portland. Parenting pulls you into a culture all it's own.
I'm glad you are so happy there Kobie. Have a good last month of pregnancy!
My little 13 month old baby is now running around the house with her pants and socks off (she stripped herself), chasing the cat and snorting with laughter. She's almost three times her original birth size and is starting to impersonate us. Sweetie she is, running me a little raggged, this last year was the best of my life.
Good to hear from you!
Glad you made it here and grateful that you are sticking around :)
Gosh, it would be so much fun if we could come visit you guys sometime...I'd love to see Portland! We could let our sons play together. :) Hmmmm...maybe one day we could work something out. And I don't think Ryan and Travis have ever met. I know they would hit it off!
