Moving!

Yes, that's right!  The story is long, but as of June 30th we will be leaving this sweet little piece of paradise behind...

...and moving on to new adventures here!

I feel like my days are currently a full mixture of sorting, packing, cleaning, fixing, throwing-out, checking things off of our never-ending "to do" list, and of course spending as much time with friends as possible.  The move is bittersweet.  We will be leaving behind so many things we love - friends, community, church, house, lake, mountain, job etc.  But, we hope that we will fall in love with our new place just as much.  And, we are thankful for friends, both here and there, who are making this move so much easier for us.  And, we're thankful for being able to rent our house out so quickly and find a cute little house in Portland that will hopefully be perfect for us (We've never seen it in person, but doesn't it look charming?!).

In the midst of the chaos, Kai is being a trooper.  He doesn't handle change too well, so I'm hoping and praying that all of the changes in the next few weeks (vacation in Utah, one last busy week in Sandpoint, one week with my family in Canada, then moving into a new house in a new city with all new people!!) won't overwhelm him too much.  Just this morning a friend suggested making a little photo book for him of our new neighbourhood, house, friends etc.  What a great idea!  I'll have to add that to my list.  

Anyways, I must get back to packing while the little munchkin naps :)

Hopefully more updates and pictures soon!
