I Own a Home

I was finally handed the key to my condo today. I'm finding it strange, not so much to move into a new place that is mine, but to say goodbye to my old house, my old neighborhood, to the life of being a renter, to old memories and comforts, plants I planted and visits to my usual haunts. For so long I was so focused on what was ahead that I didn't stop to think about all of the change I would undergo as I said goodbye.

I bid a fond farewell to the house and my life on 30th and Couch in Portland. It was a great 4 year run. In those four years I truly learned to love this city. I found myself here. I found myself.
