✨2024: a very full year of change, decision making, people I love, new friends, familiar places, more markets than ever, starting school again, lots of snuggles, many miles logged up and down the Columbia River Gorge, time spent in the trees, and a lot of books finished 🧡

starting the year off in Arizona with my Kilnfolk to reflect on our year together was so special! I will treasure all the beautiful humans in our mentorship forever. 🥹🫶🏽
•
spring brought the happy news of matching at OHSU and subsequent move to Portland. one of the happiest and most joyful days of our lives 🌸💫
•
summer was spent driving up and down I-5 countless times as we wrapped up our time in Lebanon and transitioned to Portland. we closed on our first house and have spent the last six months turning it into a cozy home. 🏠
•
autumn finally came and I got to be a student again for the first time in several years! I love being back in school. it’s challenging me in unexpected ways and I am trying to soak it all in 📚✏️
•
as we settle into winter for the next few months, we are filled with gratitude for what this year has brought. I chose the word “peacefully” as my word of the year. this is the feeling we looked for with every decision that crossed our path. I leaned hard into trusting my gut. it’s a practice I will carry from 2024 into the new year 🧡 here’s to a other year of growth, healing, & building self trust🫶🏽
