Bye Bye Portland!

Yup!  It's official and true and really exciting!


Husband got a new job in Olympia Washington, about 2 hours away.  Its a great new job, enough that maybe when I get pregnant I won't have to work :)  We already have friends there, because that's where Mark lived right after high school and we already have a church, because Mark used to work there.  


But its also really scary, sad and weird.
Scary to live in a place I don't really know, with only a few friends.
Sad that yesterday I had to tell my boss that I'm leaving and we cried a little together.
Weird that I'm leaving the only place I've ever lived besides my home town.  


Leaving Portland, having an adventure with my husband, being together and starting a new season in our life is what we have wanted since we got engaged, but I will miss it and all the people in it.  I guess over the new few weeks that's what I'll be sharing.  Our goodbyes to our favorite places, and what I'll miss most about Portland.  


I cannot wait to get there and start our new life!!
{in a condo that has a kitchen with brand new appliances and marble tile countertop, with closets that have lights built in them so that I can see everything in there and with two bathtubs that are much more likely to hold two people than the one we have now}.
Goodbye Portland, Hello Olympia!!!


ps. move date is May 19th.

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ

What I've been HALFway reading.

Guys. I've started around 512 books over the last few months. I haven't finished any. GAH. Here's just a few - Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm so excited to actually keep reading this. I loved the movies but feel like the books are ALWAYS better. I haven't read much of this one yet because I feel guilty every time I pick it up. I always feel like I should be reading something that will improve me. I'll finish it some day. Simple Steps to Foot pain Relief by Katy Bowman, MS. I started reading this one for clients who have foot / knee / hip / back / shoulder pain. Basically any pain. I love trying to help my clients more than what they expect, so bits of information I can soak in and pass on are great! Katy Bowman does a great job breaking down the foot and then gives some awesome techniques on things you can do to help your feet. I'm close to done with this one actually, and thats good because it's due back at the library in a few days. Goo

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
