When we move...

I'll miss the ocean!


I'll miss the waves.


I'll miss the fog rolling in from the sea.


I'll miss the ocean birds and the seals.


I'll miss the sand.


I'll miss silhouetted sunset pictures.


I'll miss bonfires on the beach...roasting hot dogs and corn on the coals.


I'll miss the look on visitors' faces when they take in the scenic beauty of the Oregon coastline.


I'll miss the tide pools.


I'll miss the impossibly clear rivers.


I'll miss the lighthouses.


The kids will miss it too. Hyrum thinks going to the beach is too messy, so I don't know that he'll miss it much, but the kids and I will. I took them there the other day while Hyrum was in a meeting and we just fed the seagulls, played in the sand, and smelled the sea air for one of our last times in who knows how long.





I'll also miss places like Crater Lake,


and the Medford Temple,


but they won't be as far away.

Moving will be incredibly bittersweet.
