Our Backstory Story: How We Traded Our Oregon Home for the World

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Update to the update: I’m not a fast writer so now it’s Nov 9th and we are in Portland with less than a week to go and it’s exciting but a little bit nervous making. This is a HUGE change to our lifestyle. The final clearout of the ADU we’ve been in since May was a very concrete feeling step in the process. Everything we own fits loosely into the bed of a full-size pickup truck and everything we are taking with us would fit in the trunk of a mid-size car.

Turns out mom has some extra storage space in her basement so we won’t need to impose on number one son to donate part of his garage to store the 4 big totes. He’s excited about that, too.
