At this moment...

I so loved what Bethany said in this post about being an Oregonian. It perfectly sums up how I feel about growing up and living in Oregon. I've been missing it so much lately and am having trouble settling here in Denver. I feel like a stubborn little transported flower that refuses to put down new roots.

Don't get me wrong -- I've met some amazing people and have made life-long friendships... but there is no substitute for 'home'.

I'm always reminded that home is wherever your heart is; my heart, my love, my Jon is here in Denver for the moment. But I'm constantly feeling pulled to the west. I miss my family, my friends, and my city.

Since moving here, this little blog has been pretty quiet and I've tried so hard to find things to say, to let you know that we're enjoying ourselves here. But it's so hard right now to find the right words without seeming forced.

I am looking forward to another trip to Portland here soon and am hoping that it refreshes my spirit and helps me to move forward, out of my little rut.
