Well it has been a little over two months since we moved to this beautiful state. It is a strange feeling, it feels like home as much as it doesn't. We have definitely made amazing memories already while we have lived here, and we see the potential of wonderful new experiences and professional growth. But at the same time, we both miss all our family and friends back home. It's truly bittersweet when you leave everything you know for something new. But I think we feel a lot better about our future here compared to where we were 8 weeks ago.
So what have we been up to? The most notable experience includes us visiting Samantha's uncle Paul and aunt Carol in Seattle for Thanksgiving. They were very gracious hosts. They took us ALL OVER Seattle. Some places we visited were the Space Needle and Pike's Place. It was a wonderful visit and the city was very beautiful, especially downtown. And the food we ate was amazing. Truly, Seattle really felt like a city we would like to raise a family one day.
Other noticeable things we did include visiting Silver Falls State Park, going to a 60s soul music themed dance party, and trying delicious new eateries in Eugene. To help us make it through the holidays, we set up a Christmas tree and Christmas lights within our home and started working out together to keep the weight down while we eat some good food in the upcoming weeks.
It has only been two months, but we have done so much already. We are looking forward to seeing what we experience in the next two months. Thank you for taking the time to keep up with us through our blog. If you are in Springfield reading this, we miss you! Please come visit soon. Cheers!
