Moment in time

We are about to embark on the next step of the biggest journey of our life! As we prepare to leave Portland and head to Ethiopia we reflect on this moment in time of what we are looking forward to, as well as what we will miss about home. There are too many things to list of what we are looking forward to in Ethiopia, just as there are too many things to list of what we will be missing from home. However here are a couple just to name a few....

THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING...

An Ethiopian sunrise and sunset

Holy Trinity Cathedral

Blue Nile Falls in Bahir Dar

Toukoul...where we will meet our daughter for the first time!

Your feet will bring you to where your heart is." ~ Irish Proverb

THINGS THAT WE WILL MISS......

Of course our amazing family and friends who have stood by us during our Journey of Love! We simply can't list you all, but you know who you are, thank you and we love you!

Our adorable pets who, although they will have company while we are gone, will be sad to see us leave. Here are our beloved pets with their ever evolving nicknames...

Good Girl

Snacks

The Rock

Mousty

Freebird

And last but not least....

Our beautiful city, Portland
