Have You Heard the News?

In case you haven't heard, we're moving. We'll be living in my parent's home in Wilsonville while they serve a mission in Japan for 18 months. We're sad to leave Salem and our friends and home here, but looking forward to twice the amount of space and being closer to family. We're grateful we're able to do this since our home didn't sell last year after being on the market for so long. Now, it will become a rental property.

We move in two weeks, so each day a few more boxes appear and there is a little less stuff to trip over.
