we made it
the drive was unreal. there is no way i could 'prepare' to feel what i have felt the last few days. though we have been planning on moving since october 07, there was no way to foresee all the emotions that encompass a move. we have longed for a change in all areas of our life and i think that change is necessary to continue to survive. but man... does it hurt. and then at the same time i couldn't wait to get to a city with everything we want at our fingertips (or even within 3 blocks). and then starting a new job... oh the nerves! what the hell do know? i need patience for those people who will become good friends. and in no way will our portland friends replace our redding friends, but i need to be open. you never know who will become you new friend. i need acceptance for the pacific northwest weather; the good, the bad, and the ugly. since we have been here it has been sprinkling. and oh how refreshing. however i am not naive and i know in a few months when it has been sprinkling everyday that i need to stay strong and not hate my life. and then i few months after that when that first day of sunshine comes and reveals all the green, i will be in love. and all that waiting will be worth it.
