Portland

 We made it....alive!  I still can't believe we moved and because everything is new but because it doesn't really feel that different (if that makes any sense).  The drive was good.  It mostly looked like this...

And Emily, You have a mountain.

 And we saw a few barges flouting down the river.  It blew my mind a little bit and I finally realized the rest of the world didn't grow up in Nevada and they are actually large bodies of water everywhere.  Obviously I already knew this but it was just amazing to see.

And than about 1 1/2 hours from Portland everything turn into this BAM!!! It was wild and kinda just happened.  So so so many trees.

We arrived.  We un-packed.  Ate delicious food with Jared's parents and aunt and uncle.  Where amazingly blessed with help from Jared parent.  We said goodbye.  And this kid went to his first day of school.  So far so good (yeah...that's outside our apartment.  It's green everywhere).

 One more thing.  It hit 100 degrees today.  And we don't have any stinking air conditioning.  Perfect blog life bubble burst!

Camping!

We went camping this past weekend.  Jared's parents came down, his siblings went up to Mirror Lake earlier and we finally arrived Friday night. It was a great time.  He finally brought crescent rolls to roast over the fire, which is something I've never done but it was quite delicious (I tried to wing a crescent role filled with marshmallow and chocolate, I don't recommend it unless you are an expert....I was not).  It did rain a little but that meant thunderstorms and I looooooooooooove thunderstorms.  Probably in my top favorite things about life.  Jared got a little fishing in and all around it was a fun little over nighter.

On our way home I was thinking we were super close to where I lived I elementary school, Croydon Utah  population 100ish. Yeah...."super close" was really like an hour away which isn't so great when you tell your husband it's 25 min.  But we made it, saw the house for 2 sec, took a picture, and drove back home.  It was pretty crazy to see the house, its 100++ years old (I don't remember) and provided a lot of entertainment as a child. Good times.
