Packing

Preparing to move is a wonderful time in one's life.  Packing, cleaning things out, saying goodbye to friends, trying to find a job... there's no stress at all. 
We actually have a lot of our apartment packed and have been trying to get rid of the things we don't need anymore.  My awesome husband has been working much harder than me to make sure we are ready for the arrival of our first guests this Wednesday for graduation.  Our awesomely wonderful friends threw us a little going away festivity this afternoon.  And as sad and stressful as this week may have been, we are very excited to be returning to the Midwest.

Two More Weeks

Well, friends, we are wrapping up our time in Eugene, Oregon. 
I think I'm mostly recovered from the marathon.  I could barely walk for three days and was able to get back to the stationary bike on Thursday.  I still have a big toe injury and I'd say it's still questionable whether I'll lose it or not.  (The nail not the toe.)
Our favorite law student is 99% of the way finished with law school (some paper or something, who knows) so we've been enjoying our time together.  It has been sunny and dry here (yayyyyy global climate change!) so we headed out to the McKenzie River for a hike yesterday.  It was lovely and one day I'll post the pictures I took.  When I returned to Eugene, I had a bit of a Desperate Housewives afternoon.  A pedicure (I really needed a farrier), a margarita in the sunshine, a massage gift from the most wonderful person in the world, and dinner outdoors with friends.  Who am I?!
Otherwise we are packing and trying to enjoy our time in Eugene before we leave.  And if you're wondering if either of us have jobs yet: nope!  We'll definitely tell you all when we do!  My last day of work is a week from Wednesday, graduation is the 18th, and we leave on the 20th.  Where does the time go?  We're both very excited about our return to the Midwest.  Although the Legal Beagle will be consumed with Barbri all summer, his lovely sidekicks will be happy spend time with you.
