In Oregon

It's crazy to think we are actually IN the state of Oregon - only hours from our new home!! It's been a long day, and we (Seth) are attempting to make it the last 4 hours (it's 7 pm and we've been on the road since 5 am). I don't know how Seth has done it. He's driven the whole time so far and plans to drive these last hours! (He's going to be an amazing dad - I know he's driving so that I don't have to... For multiple reasons: keep me as comfortable as possible and to keep the baby and me as safe as possible. (Yes I admit I am not the Best driver and with a full jeep I don't even want to try to drive.))

I hope we make it the whole way because I really want to wake up in our new home (even though it'll be the 3rd floor instead of the 1st). I want to be able to walk Seth to his favorite coffee shop to get his favorite coffee - which will taste better than it did in NYC since it's a Portland coffee. I want to take a big breath of fresh air - the same fresh air that has left me yearning since last August's visit to Portland. I want to have the whole day tomorrow with Seth as we start to get into our new home and make it a home!!

PS: Seth really is a rock star!! If you put the two short days of driving together into one long one, he has made the drive from NYC to Portland in 4 days (of course we spread them out in order to visit family along the way...)
