There’s a “sold” sign in the front yard. Our house is slowly filling with cardboard boxes. The snow shovels have been given away. And Patsy dons a brand new leash, ready for adventure.
The Ewalds are moving to Oregon!
Portland, Oregon to be exact.
Dave has accepted a Senior Art Director position at North, an ad agency in downtown Portland. Couple that with moody weather, an hour’s drive to the ocean, a passionate music scene, microbrews, and the best lattes we’ve ever had, and we simply couldn’t resist.
Saralyn will continue her current job from afar, and has big plans to make some art, take some classes, and eventually apply for Grad school.
Patsy has plans to resume her position on the couch, learn to “go” outside even if it’s raining, and seek out dead things to roll in on the beach.
While we wish to say good-bye to all of our friends and family in person, the days are flying by and our move date keeps getting closer and closer. Know that we will be in touch soon. And feel free to follow along with our adventure right here. (Who knows what a drive straight across North Dakota has in store?!)

The Midwest loses yet another handsome couple...
Amy and I wish you guys all the best luck on this voyage! I've driven part of it with Dave before, through the Badlands and into the far west of Dakota, nearly to Wyoming, where the mule deer were silent and the magpies were noisy. And we bought a used Public Enemy CD at a strip mall in Pierre, where we had a little pizza, too.
We're glad we got the chance to visit Como Park one more time before you decamped!
We'll send pix when the baby arrives!
I'm making banana bread right now, so I gots to go check my loaf.
Happy safe travels to all three of you! I'm so glad we were able to bid you farewell before the great adventure begins. Can't wait to visit you in Portland. We'll be able to formally christen you the godparents of the Pavelbaby by then.
Saralyn-
Good luck on your new adventure! Sorry we didn't get a chance to reconnect before you are leaving town! I wish you and your family the best...keep in touch!
