Endings and New Beginnings July 2007
The GREAT news first- Susan and Aris arrived on Tuesday, July 24 after a 3.5 day trip from CT to OR with all our earthly possessions. Aris drove the whole way (amazing!) and his mom contributed with her usual good humor, astute navigational skills, and passenger side braking!! Last night we slept in our own bed for the first time in 6 months. We are so happy to be in our new home in Portland after almost 18 months of nomadic life.Come back...more to be added to this post!
