First Week in Oregon
It would take too long to try to recapture all the events in our lives these past three plus months, so I will just begin with events from this week only. Here we are in Oregon~our first week even! It is a beautiful day out this morning. First was drizzly, now sunny and warming up fast. It is just grand being home. Mom and Dad Forney are coming again tomorrow. Maybe we should take a break and head for the beach? We are nearly all moved in already. Our home is so beautiful. I have never felt so in love with a home.
The children are quite happy. They have enjoyed bike riding, basketball at the park~Michael has a new friend already named Matthew. So they have had hours of fun so far. All our utilities are on and working. David started his first day of work on Wed~today’s Friday. And he was able to have a short week his first week on the job. We purchased the children some clothes last night of which they were greatly appreciative. Dad Minthorne’s birthday is on Sunday~he will be 70 years old! We arrived just in time to enjoy perhaps another 10+ years of life with them. Thank you Lord for the gift you have given us! And our children especially.

We have been in Oregon one week already. Unbelievable! Mom and Dad Forney were here on Fri afternoon and Sat. It was such a special time. Dad F. built some really great shelves in the garage/shed and they just look great! It has been such a dream spending time with our families. We purchased blinds, plants and misc items for house and yard. Everything is looking great! It was hard to see Forneys leave, but I know we will get to visit next time we come to Portland next week. Today is Sunday, so we will have church here instead of going out. David Jr was disappointed as he is looking forward to meeting friends.

I am sure glad we have had more than 10 years with Grandpa Minthorne. Reading this and being away from home makes me sad. I know extactly why all those little things felt so special.
