We're here!

Hey everyone we know its been a while but it has been a busy and wonderful couple of weeks. We had to stop the blog half way through our trip because there was no wifi connections. We even lost cell reception. Te second half of the trip was great, we will be posting pictures as soon as the pod comes with our electronics box we packed away.

(Here's some pics from my phone of grand Tetons and Yellowstone)

 Which brings me to the not so great news. Due to incompetence our pod was not shipped out the day after we packed it. It was instead shipped the day after we arrived in Portland! Which means that the estimated day of arrival is September 10th. So although we have moved into our apartment, we won't really be moving in until a month after we arrived. But it's not all bad we were able to buy a bed since we needed to do that anyway and it has served great as our couch, desk, dining table, etc. here is a picture of our living room which has a camping table that comes two feet off the ground and two camping chairs.

And for those of you who say I am my mothers daughter the second day we arrived in Portland Lewie and I decided to add on to our little family and adopt a kitten. (As of now the cat has just as much personal items in the apartment than we do) Her name is Samus, named after one kick butt character in a video game.

She was the loudest, craziest one in the kitten room and she won our hearts with her odd meow. Since home she has become a daddy's girl and finds a way to attach herself to Lew as soon as he gets home. (I woke up at three this morning to find her sleeping on his shoulder)

So that's our life right now. Eating ramen out of mess kits and drinking out of the collected plastic Starbucks cups I get in the morning. We're pretty happy with it all.
