Day 5: Crying in the middle of a cafe vibeZzz

White Salmon/Portland, OR
8.5

WHERE ARE YA?
White Salmon and Portland for a hot second

WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY?
Woke up to homemade blueberry muffins and the day just kept going up from there.

The day was mostly dedicated to various tasks we needed to get done--handmade cards just need a stamp and they’re ready to be sent, Portland video was finished up and uploaded (thanks, Dana) and towards the evening, we started the breakdown/timeline process of our Portland interviews.

HOW YAH FEELIN?
Feeling so grateful for everything that has happened (the good, the bad) and all the love + support we’ve received thus far.

WHERE ARE YOU?
White Salmon...Hood River....Portland (?)

WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY?
Good vibes all around today!! Got a whole lot done: Portland video, a house for next year(!!), made new friends who are so very kind, finished handmade cards, and started building a timeline for our interviews from Portland.

The first three things happened in a span of about 5 minutes. It was a joyful little moment we had in the middle of a cafe in Hood River. Felt just a little bit of crazy.

HOW YAH FEELIN?
I feel really good. I think we are all very (positively) surprised by the reactions to this project. It kind offeels like a kid who gets ice cream after a beach day...but all the time.

WHERE ARE YOU?
Portland for a hot sec, White Salmon, Trout Lake, Hood River - The Gorge I guess

WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY? Woke up, got outta bed.
My sister made us vegan blueberry muffins and they were delicious (thanks Syd).
Ran out to Trout Lake to visit an old friend where we floated the creek.
Ran out to Hood River, to work on video, where mis amigas had finished this SUPER cute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9gz-mZKjYE. Melted my heart.  
We spontaneously filled out apps for a house I’m proud to say we’ll now be living in come October!
Then we ate one taco and a whole lotta chips for dinner.
Headed home, made iced coffee (at 8pm?) and took notes on Adam Garcia’s interview on the deck while the sun went down.

HOW YAH FEELIN?
Today was a crazy beautiful day. From seeing an old friend, to making new ones and getting a house. Sitting together once the sun was set reflecting on Adam’s interview and the trip thus far, was the icing on the cake. The people we’ve met have been so excited for us and interested in not only what we’re doing, but also who we are, it’s validating on a level I didn’t realize i’d been missing.

On that note, gotta send another gratitude shout out to my ladies for always making space for reflecting together that has made this trip all the more incredible.  

Also serious shout out to our girl Rachel <3 been listening to the playlist you made us non-stop esp. loving me that Portugal. The Man mix up.
