After a summer of revisiting our Midwestern roots Greg, Bishop and I have finally landed back in Eugene. We made the thirty-two hour drive in three very long days. With fall nipping at our heels all the way west we were happy to find summer is still in full swing here in Oregon.
Greg has been catching up with the disc golf scene, timing our return just in time for the Eugene Celebration tournament. I have been reconnecting with my favorite people and places around town. A River walk at Mount Pisgah with Magda and our canine companions. An eventful Fall Creek hike with Magda, Heather and Ellyn. The Saturday Market with Jes. Hangin at the house with Katie. And a Bomb Blueberry Banana Breakfast with Candace.
It is fun to revel in the day to day details that have become novelties after being away for so long. Sleeping in our own bed. Walking to Sundance, the best market in town. Cooking breakfast. Watering house plants. Taking the bus downtown. Eating at Laughing Planet, Hideaway Bakery, The Sweet Life and other local favorites. Seeing this town with fresh eyes has made it feel more like home.
As we settle in to our routine we are preparing for all of the epic transitions our lives are about to undertake. I start school in three weeks. Greg will start a new job before he knows it. The baby belly will continue to grow... and grow...and grow... and then one day we'll wake up and be full fledged parents! And a little farther off, but still super fun to think about, is the Oregon wedding in the summer of 2010.
I will be using this blog as a place for me to reflect on all of these changes and stay in touch with all of you loved ones who are so far away. If there is one thing that I know after this summer it is that we are so blessed to have a love and suppport from our families and friends that goes way beyond geographic proximity.
