Goodbye Oregon

Today is our "see you later" day to Oregon and our family here.  There's never an easy transition in life.  Not to me anyway.  We are glad to have lived here from October 2020 to May 2023.  We made many beautiful memories together and those can never be replaced.  They will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Goodbye, Newberg.  You were our home.

Goodbye, Fig.  You were our special Oregon rescue kitten/cat.  We got to love you for a year and your body will remain in our backyard.  But the memories and love will live on.

See you later, Adam, Rach, Kylee, Evan, Jack, and Clover.

We made lots of special and fun memories.  Meals shared, holidays spent, activities, and more.  I feel that our kids got to spend really some of the most important years together - their teen years.  It's been neat to see them change, grow, and mature into each season of their lives.  Life will be different without cousins and family around that close.  But never look at that in a negative way.  Remember and cherish the time you did have.  Not on what you won't have.

Life changes but grateful, our Lord stays the same and is there for us through it all.
