It's hard to believe that my days in Oregon have come to an end. Almost eight years I've spent in the land of the lush green and gray skies. I look back upon my time in Oregon with fond memories of college, meeting my husband and my first "real" job as a teacher. Even though I grew up in Utah, part of me will always feel a kinship with Oregon. Right now I'm in transition, residing in Utah for a few days with my family until the new adventure in Arizona begins. My darling husband continues to pack the house and will begin the long haul of all our belongs to Arizona on Tuesday. Poor man has been infinitely stressed, always feeling that there is too much to do and never enough time. I tried my best to help pack up the house before I left, although there is still quite a bit left to do. Unfortnately, we were unable to sell the house, do to the failing economy and housing market. We bought at the peak and we're trying to sell at the crash- not a good combination. Thus, we've decided to rent the house. Who would have thought we'd become landlords in our 20's? We sure could have used that money from selling the house, but we've lived off of pennies before and we can do it again. They always say that money can't buy happiness.
Here's a picture of our new apartments in Arizona. We hope people will come and visit us a lot, as we will have an extra bedroom furnished just for that reason!
