Oregon/ home



The Last Leg



Our first views of Oregon






NW 8th St






so... i know that a lot of these pictures are not the cleanest. I did entertain the thought of cleaning the house... so all you wonderful people would have a picture perfect view of what it looks like here... but i also realized that then you would all know i cleaned anyway (cause lets be honest i don't love cleaning) ... and lets be more honest: i didn't feel like cleaning. So just know- if any body comes to visist... be rest assured it will be cleaner than in these pictures... but until then... this is our new home :)

our first meal... spaghetti and meatballs.














the dining room now :) it has really good light! its my favorite room.







this is christopher's Buddha that we had stored in my can of espresso for the journey. Opening it up felt somehow transcendental? just beautiful in a very strange goofy way :)






















our new bed! which took forever to find.

thank you ikea.

and our one "walk in" closet.




Chris with his new drum kit in the attic.So there it is ... and there lies the beginning of the ending of this journey. Sorry it took me so long to get the photographs of our house up... time seems to be slipping away quite fast. So on wednesday i have an interview at a farm in applegate (which is in vineyard country) ... so if all goes well on that front... we may only be in our new little home for another month. But thus far it has been serving us quite well :) Thanks for joining us on the trip. I miss you all here. Life is much quieter without friends and famliy around the corner.... or even in the next state :).... but somehow life seems to be going -right now- just as it is meant to. I am just curious as to exactly where that is.

  1. Hi Anna! I just discovered your blog via Chris's which I discovered via facebook...a little slow on the uptake, but so glad I found it! It's wonderful to read about your trip and see all the beautiful pictures. Your new home is just lovely! I'm so happy for you both. Congrats on making it across the country and settling into what looks like a very happy home. I miss seeing you every week! Keep exploring :)
    Take care,
    Jen Watson

  2. Lovely! If you can't find work, maybe you could start a TV show...how to furnish a house under $200. I think you did amazingly well. It's super cute :)
