Coast day

 Today we visited the Oregon coast. It was Linden’s first time seeing the ocean, and Maren’s first time in five years. It started out cloudy, but turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, and everyone had a fabulous time. 

We are still in limbo, not at all settled, but it was absolutely the kind of day that makes me feel good about moving here. A reminder that it is worth it to have uprooted our family. 

Another reminder:

These lovely ladies are my two best friends from high school, who I have known since kindergarten and first grade. We stayed up late and had a sleepover last weekend, and it felt like coming home ❤️
