When are you moving to Portland?
My DH are taking a trip to Oregon in September. Two nights in Cannon Beach and three in Portland. We're going to do a lot of hiking. I can't wait. Many of my well travelled friends rank it very high on their list of prettiest places.
Good luck moving the kitties!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
