Oregon Bound

We leave tomorrow morning bright and early for Bend, Oregon. We are flying back for Grant and Nicole's wedding and we can not even express our excitement to be back in Oregon and see some of our dear friends. It is funny how your idea of "home" changes as you move from location to location. The whole time we were in Oregon we always considered South Dakota "home" and we were eagerly awaiting to move back closer to friends and family. However, now that we have left Oregon we often find ourselves thinking of Oregon as another "home" of ours and missing so many wonderful things about it. This is a good reminder for me to live in the moment (something I have difficulty doing) and to enjoy and appreciate the things I love where i am living in the present and not just the past. Anyway - Oregon here we come. Can't wait to take in the beauty and to have a lot of good laughs with our friends from grad school.

Here are a few blasts from our Oregon past.......
