Free at last, free at last...

4 more months of an absolute mind numbingly boring life. 4 more months of living in a town that is polar opposite of who we are and everything we enjoy. 4 more months until we move back to New York City. The countdown is on, and I couldnt feel more relieved.

If its one thing we have learned, its never ever move somewhere without visiting it first- numerous times and in long enough increments to really get a feel for what its like. Especially once you have lived in New York. Everything will seem really horribly "less than" after being in a city where anything and everything is at your fingertips at any given time. I truly believe you have to be 100% ready to leave and be prepared to live a different lifestyle. We of course, found that out the hard way.

I just cant wait to feel alive again. I cant wait to aimless cruise the sidewalks with no particular place to go, yet feel completely content doing so. I cant wait to experience culture again, and see all walks of life coexisting together. I cant wait to see all of our friends we left behind, and be close enough to my family that I can take the bus down. Cant wait.

Yes I know and remember that there are things that are completely annoying about NYC, and I know those things will quickly come rushing back to me soon after get get back. But on this extremely long 14 month long haitus, Ive learned that at this point in my life, I will happily accept those annoying things rather than live anywhere else.

Come ooooooooonnnnnnnnn August 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm honestly surprised you guys are moving back in Sept. It is a lot sooner that I thought, which leads me to believe that you must have really, really hated Portland - ahaha. Great job on committing to come back so soon! I'll be happy when you are finally here again for our Monday night dinners. :)
Love you both!
