Eugene Arrival

June 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments

We said goodbye to our old house this weekend, as we packed up all of our belongings and moved two hours south to Eugene. My graduate program in landscape architecture starts next Monday and there looks like so much to do between now and then!

I have a bed and most of my room unpacked. The kitchen is getting there, but I have about thirty boxes to unpack for that room. I guess that shows I love to cook? Hopefully by the end of this weekend we feel at home and ready for some fun bike rides through Eugene.

Today I will make a trip back up to Portland just to load my plants and a few stray boxes. The tomatoes will go in the ground, the portable herb garden will find a resting spot outside the kitchen door, and some new seedlings will go in the ground. It’s funny to think I will be planting vegetables before I even know where my clean socks are!

Most posting soon, but know that I am alive and well. I made it! I am really doing this! Holy crap!

    If you need a good spot to shop for your garden in Eugene, check out Down to Earth http://home2garden.com/. They’ve got lots of good stuff at reasonably good prices. And a good coffee shop across the parking lot!

    woo hoo! we are going to ROCK this town. also, we are going to plant vegetables. because, you know, rocking and planting vegetables are not mutually exclusive.
