one year anniversary

October 20th, 2008 | in the beginning | chris | 1 comment

yesterday was our one year anniversary of being in portland. it’s a bit strange to know that we’ve already been here for a year. in some ways it seems as though we’ve been here for much longer and in other ways, much shorter.

thanks to all of you who have supported us so well in this change in our lives. it’s been quite the ride and we’re looking forward to what else is coming our way.
