someday i'm gonna miss this.

i mentioned in a previous post that we're looking to move to portland.  and although this move feels like it's forever away {ugh, house hunting... that's for a whole other post} it's definitely right on the tip of my mind at almost all times.  saying goodbye to friends.  to our little house that has been home for the last seven years.  and to this little town we've grown to love so much in the meantime.

olympia is comfortable.  we have "our places."  we have the amazing hole-in-the-wall restaurants we take our friends from out of town to & i have running routes memorized like the back of my hand for all mileages.  and it really is a cool city.  honestly, if sam didn't have to drive an hour to work each way every day, we could be very happy here for a very long time.  and we have been!  but it's time to move on & while that brings a ton of excitement, the reality of saying goodbye to some of these places puts a pit in my stomach.

so while we wait {anxiously!} for that perfect house to come on the market our time will be spent soaking it all in.  getting out & enjoying the salty marine air, swinging at the city park & stuffing our faces with some of our favorite local foods.  running around capitol lake, hitting up the farmer's market or feeding the goats at the cider mill a few more times, too.

this town has shown us lots of good times & while we have a big new city to get to know soon enough, i guess it's not the worst thing in the world if we're stuck here a couple more months while we await the next big adventure in our lives.
