I was the most homesick I have ever been since moving to Portland. I was so sad to be away from my family for he 4th of July. Our traditional neighborhood breakfast and parade followed by swimming at whoevers pool we could get into has always had a sentimental spot in my heart. I was so sad to be away for that day. I remember trying to put on a happy face and hoping that things would get better.
Well since then things definitely have changed and gotten much better. I love Portland and really feel at home here. So much has changed over the last year and I am grateful for all that I have learned, and for all the amazing people I have met and become friends with. I feel blessed every day.
Now one year later I am so excited for this 4th of July weekend! Ty and I have decided to take a little road trip. We are going to visit Crater Lake {somewhere I have always wanted to go!}
And the Jedidiah Smith Redwood Forest. It is clearly going to be a beautiful trip.

Now, Tyler has never been a fan of road trips...so I am not totally sure what has come over him...but I am not going ask because I for one love a good road trip and can't wait to get on our way. Our car is loaded with treats and pillows and sparklers {for our little celebration at night on the 4th} and we are ready for adventure!

Have a beautiful Independence Day!
