To Our Portland Friends

I’ve gotten odd reactions from several people when they hear that Annie and I are moving on Halloween. Most are just surprised “Oh are you moving?” kind of reactions, but a couple people have actually been angry “Why didn’t you tell me?” kind of reactions.

It feels like all we’ve been talking about for the last couple months is moving, and whether we should, and why we should, and when we should, and so on. I know I spoke about this with many people, but I guess because we didn’t have a specific date, most people figured it was further in the future, or not a firm plan, and were caught by surprise when we suddenly had a date, and it was only six weeks away.

If anyone felt startled or slighted by the news, I’m sorry. It certainly wasn’t my intention. Also, rest assured we’re not going to be strangers. We’ll be coming down probably once a month or so to see my family and get together with friends. And of course, the reverse is true – Puyallup is only about two hours away, and you’re all more than welcome to come visit us.

So… is anyone available to come help us load a truck on Halloween morning? ;)

  1. I didn’t think it was weird. But A) I’ve been hearing you guys talk about it for a long time, and B) I got married on Halloween, so who am I to talk.

    Speaking of which, Molli and Leilani and I can help load a truck in the morning, but I’ve already taken Halloween off so we can go out that evening and celebrate. We’re gonna find a kids’ party and take Leilani trick-or-treating.

    But we’ll totally help you pack up.

  2. Hey! You have a new blog! Found you through Pat’s site. I’m a little slow on the uptake. ;)

    Good luck with your move! You’ll be closer to Sig’s and my original home (we’re in CA right now, but hope to be relocated right back to WA when we’re done here).

    Maybe we can have a get-together around Christmastime, with Kat and Urn and friends. :)
