What We've Been Up To....

I certainly haven't been blogging!

A couple of weeks ago, ten WONDERFUL friends helped us make a night of moving into a truck. It was a 14 foot Uhaul, to be precise, and we (unfortunately) filled it to the hilt.

We moved our stuff into a storage unit in Portland (it is actually a MUCH longer story than that, but I don't really want to get into it....), then went for a week vacation with Sebastien's family.

We got back on Saturday, and on Tuesday my mom came to visit for a week. She was able to do a fair bit of exploring around Vancouver while we were at work. We went camping in Tofino, and had a great time (and wonderful weather!).

Three days after she left, it was suddenly (gasp) our last day of work (we stayed a little longer to make sure it was a good transition), and then our going away party to celebrate, and then a sweet and memorable dinner with our wonderful friends from university, and then we were suddenly on a bus headed to Seattle (and that was yesterday). How did that all happen SO fast!? I wish I had more time to savor it all, but that wouldn't really matter anyway; there is never really as much time as I would like.

We took a train to Portland this morning, loaded some last things into our storage unit (where we discovered a leak, and unfortunately, a moldy chair), put a deposit on a short-term rental, and then came back to Thia's house to enjoy dinner with her and Sebastien's brother, Jonas.

That brings us to right now.

Tomorrow morning we are boarding a plane to Paris, and then we shall go from there.... More to come!

I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to give you guys the biggest most embarassing group hug to ever happen in the whole UNIVERSE (lil bit of a Sammy-ism there). I wish you safe and wonderful travels and i wish no blisters on either of you during your hike. Love you both!
