Moving Away

In just over a week, I'm moving to Utah. I have been planning this for a little while and I am really EXCITED! 

Except for one thing... 

it means I have to leave Oregon. And even though I’m excited, I’m going to miss Oregon.  A LOT.

I’m going to miss sunsets like THIS, taken recently while hiking with a best friend:

I’ll miss those wintertime frozen-solid mornings when all the rain that falls the rest of the year turns into gorgeous frost:

I’ll miss being less than an hour from the beautiful Oregon coast:

(that's me!)

And of course I will never stop missing the Portland LDS Temple. It feels like home to me. 

{not my picture. Thanks Google!}

But I'm ESPECIALLY going to miss this:

and everyone else I’ve known and loved here. I will REALLY miss you!

My heart hurts just thinking about leaving all of this behind.
