Back to Blogging

Hello everyone,
So...Jasmine and I have overcome some major milestones in the past few weeks. In short, jasmine finished her thesis to a point where she could take to the road and we were able to successfully extricate ourselves from California. We sold, donated, or gifted away every piece of furniture that we owned and stuffed the rest of our belongings into my mother's attic. We only kept out as much stuff as we can fit in our new toyota corrola wagon. Which reminds me of another milestone. The Jetta finally deteriorated enough that we decided it made more sense to move on. We had a very tearful goody and left it in california which is ironic because in the three years we lived there I some how avoided changing the plates with the idea that it would someday be back in oregon.

We have been on the road for about two weeks now and it has been absolutely awesome. So far we have visited friends and family in portland, painted my grandparents house, gone turkey hunting, and began cleansing our souls with wonderful northwest sunshine. We visited Jake in eugene and are now in Baker city visiting my father.

Ok, lets cut to the chase. We are going to try to start keeping our blog updated. Our intention is not only to allow people to stay updated on where we have been but also on where we are going. It has been increasingly difficult to keep tract of everyone over the years and so we may end up passing through areas and not getting in touch with people. If anyone reads this and finds out that we will be passing close by and has not heard from us please drop us a line so that can connect. Our biggest focus over the next few weeks is to spend quality time with people that we have not been able to visit over the past couple years. Over the next two weeks we are traveling down to tahoe for halloween, then to the san fransico bay area to wrap up some school things and visit some more people, and finally to seattle for a race that jasmine's sister is doing. We hope that everyone is doing well and that we see everyone soon.

The vagabonds,
Louie and Jasmine
