July Desktop Calendar

July 2013_3

Hello!  So I know I said I was back, and then I disappeared again — sorry!  Life has been so crazy trying to get our house in order, and trying to get used to this new city!  Plus, I started a new job last week so I haven’t been home much either!  I hope to update you on all the details soon!

In the mean time, I wanted to give you a new desktop calendar before it was too late so I hope you enjoy!  Happy Monday!

Ps: To download, just click on the image and once the large image appears in a new window, right click and choose “set as desktop background.”

Hello! We still don’t have Internet so I am back at a coffee shop trying to catch up on life! The above picture is a quick peek into our journey from Oregon to Wisconsin! I took this picture of the Mississippi River as we were crossing into Wisconsin!

Alright, I’m off to our house because all our stuff arrives today!

We Made It!

Hi friends! Oh my goodness, after a long journey, we finally made it to Milwaukee!  We drove through eight states to get here!  Can you believe that?!  I have never driven that far before!

We love our house, and are so excited about the neighborhood we chose to live in!  We have spent the last few days exploring, and soaking up as much Wisconsin wonderfulness as possible!  Our stuff is still traveling on a truck somewhere between here and Portland so we are just trying to have as much fun as possible before the real moving in part begins.  The above picture is of a fun pizza restaurant patio near our house.  Aren’t those lights amazing?!

I hope to update you with pictures and stories of our crazy journey soon but we won’t have internet until Friday so posts might be sparse until then!

Happy Monday!

Goodbye Linn Benton

goodbye linn benton 2

It is time to say farewell to my graphic design program.  Yesterday was my last day of school, and I am so grateful for my time there.  It is funny how when we moved to Oregon I had no idea what this year would hold for me!  Then came along the graphic design program, and totally changed everything!  I owe a lot to the program, and I will miss all the people I met while I was there.

This has been one wild year!  I am excited for the next exciting chapter of our life, but I am still feeling sentimental about this all coming to a close.  Although we never really felt settled in Corvallis, it was still our home for a year, and there are things I am going to miss.  Jonathan and I both agreed, one thing we are definitely going to miss is being so close to the Oregon Coast!  We have made so many wonderful memories there!  But lucky for me, I will be trading the Oregon Coast for the Great Lakes, so I can’t complain too much!  There are also small things I will miss like my favorite running trail and the market by our apartment.

As I am starting to say goodbye to people and places here, I am also reminded of all the new people and places I will discover in Milwaukee.  And, this is a thought I must hold onto as I prepare for our next transition.  Although it is sad to say goodbye, it is also exciting to welcome the new things this next year will bring.  So cheers to this crazy year, and cheers to new adventures!
