Alis Volat Propriis

We're heading back to the scene of the crime today, Portland, Oregon. It's the place where our lives as a couple ended, and our little family began one morning in July when The Ambassador came into the world. It's where we lost two dear animal friends that have never made an appearance on Missives, because their parting preceded the blog's own birth. It's the place Craptastic Puppy joined our clan (I know, what the fuck was I thinking when I got a puppy during my pregnancy?), and it was the location of one of my biggest heartbreaks when we walked away from our beautiful home and our amazing friends to make the move to Minnesota's tundra.

I'll leave you with the view from our deck on our final afternoon in Portland, and wish you a great weekend!
