We're Home!

[Written on 6/9 but posted today due to some spotty wi-fi service at our new apartment]

Well, as it turns out, I guess I’m not a very good road blogger. As I mentioned in my last post, I can’t create posts from my iPhone, and if I could’ve I think I would’ve been better at my mission. But since I could only do it when we stopped and found wi-fi, and those times were usually spent catching up with family and friends, I was more inclined to visit with them than write on my blog. I guess maybe I’m not a true blue blogger, huh?

Anyway, the good news is we are now official residents of Hood River, OR!!! We arrived in Hood River yesterday afternoon, met with our new landlord an hour later and were handed a key to our new home! As of right now we have nothing much in our new home (only what we brought with us in our car, including some Publix mayonnaise we’ve been lugging around for a week for sandwiches and that I’m so sick of looking at I think I just might throw it away :-), but our ReloCube has arrived in Portland, so we are planning on going to unpack and uhaul it over here tomorrow. Then we can begin making our new place our home. We spent our first night in our new place on our sleeping pads and mats, but it felt awesome to be here. We even met some new friends our first night in town. Our good friend Doug brought us over to his friends’ Matt and Wendy’s for an awesome dinner and some drinks. They were very cool and it made for a great first night in town.

Hey Amanda,
Wow! I just found the best use for Blogging. What a pleasant surprise to find you updating the PBCLS blog. I had no idea. I logged on to see what you had to say before you left and look at this. That's dedication. Congratulations!!! - Carol

Thanks Terry!

And Carol! Yeah, I'm keeping up my blog on a more personal level, just in case anybody cares how our transition is going. We'll see how it evolves in the future.
