Maps and Mileage and Thinking Over the Past Year... MORE TO COME

I have a friend in Idaho who is planning to move to the Portland, Oregon area in the not-too-distant future... I went back in my blog to find the pic of my stuffed storage to share with her and commiserate the woes of moving.

Looking through a few posts, I thought I might compile my journey to date here, think back over the past year, and get ready to welcome in 2015!


May 2013 - I was finally on my way in my Great Adventure...

I started at Mom's Weekend at OSU, then did the Oregon Coast for 6 weeks.  Back to Lakeview and then up through Joseph, OR and on to my cousin's in Post Falls, ID.  Then I got the call about my mom.  Stayed in Arizona through the month of August 2013 and returned to Lakeview in September.

After helping some friends with moving and house-sitting, I was back on my way to Albany, OR (near Corvallis) to start a position as a nanny.  It would be good to be close to my son again.

I got a job with a beet seed processing plant, left the nanny position and the motor home I was living in, and lived in my van until the Tower job ended at the end of March.

I had to go to Lakeview for legal reasons, and my cousin said, "Come to Idaho"... so I did.  But I took the long way around.

3,000 miles since I left Monica 's in Lakeview!! 8 states later I am in Montana in the rain. I still have about 400+ miles to go. I guess I could have taken a more direct route, but just look at all I would have missed!! My son thanked me this morning for letting him live vicariously through me... you're welcomeGabe!! It's been a blast!  xo
