Hello Dears! This is my first crude attempt at a blog... may or may not be a permanent thing but I have so much to say it seems like the easiest way to do it. This way, if you care to hear my ramblings, great! If not, then don't visit the blog for a while and know that I am here when you want to know! The move to Oregon is a huge undertaking and we are finally exhaling today, our very first day in Bend. I have one word to describe what I'm feeling right now:
HAPPY!
The angst of leaving our comfy home and great neighborhood, our wonderful friends, and our beloved daughter has softened and now the joy and excitement of a new life here is taking over. However, as I told Lisa, we will always be attached and in each other's hearts and minds... only a phone call away - and a plane trip if necessary. Both our daughters have their own busy lives and this makes a mom feel good. No worries per se; just the constant desire to relate with them, be with them, be there for them.
Franklin was just a champ on the trip! We hit every rest stop from Camarillo to Bend and Frankie made his mark at each one. He slept comfortably on the front seat of each of our cars, alternately keeping both of us company. The hotels (Ramada and Holiday Inn Express) were great for all of us and Frankie slept on the bed both times. He is such a joy for us and everyone seems to love this mellow guy. We're so grateful he came into our lives.
So, that's it for this posting -- next will be how the rental house is (I think it's gonna be wonderful!) and maybe I can learn how to post pictures too. Love you.
-Annie
