Finally... A Recap of Sorts

Family, friends, and pals everywhere,

We are so sorry it has taken us so long to post updates on this blog. We are, in fact, still alive and well (although Tiber almost didn't make it. He would not shut up in Kansas, which is the worst state to bark through). We limped into Portland with all of our things barely holding on to our beloved Jeep, Obadiah. Obi hasn't been doing so hot since we got here. Hopefully he will make a full recovery, but we aren't holding our breath (well, actually we are. The fumes coming out of that car are unreal). 

The following pictures create a brief (veeerrry brief) recap of our trip and life out here so far. We hope you enjoy the sights! We definitely did, and look forward to letting you know a little bit more about what we have discovered in Portland so far...

Obi - loaded down for the trek. 

Drove through the Rockies! They were, in fact, rocky. 

Utah was absolutely beautiful! 

We took a bunch of pictures in Utah. 

The bear slept most of the trip in odd and uncomfortable looking positions. But then there was Kansas....so much barking!

This was taken near the end of the trip....you can tell by their bored faces. 

Then we got to Oregon and realized we had just made it to paradise. 

Driving into downtown Portland was a little surreal. 

Then we made it to our apartment and nearly cried because it is so small. 

Once we bought some furniture...the apartment started looking better!

Now its cozy and sweet and its beginning to grow on us. 

 So far we have really enjoyed our time out here. It still feels a bit like we are visiting, but once we both are fully occupied with jobs and/or school, we will settle into a routine.

Stay tuned for more Portland updates and Tiber thoughts!

Much love,
T and E (and little t)
