There are a few reasons I am starting a blog (what does that word even mean?) for this move, not the least of which is the loss of my fancy Italian leather journal in which I would have chronicled this journey had I not lost it. So there's that. And then there is Hunter's suggestion. Hunter is a senior in my Comparative World Religions class and when I mentioned to him that I wouldn't be returning next year and the reason why (buying a spit of land with my love), he asked if I would consider creating a blog so my students could all follow me from afar. My first reaction was, "Oh, Hunter, that's silly. Who would want to read about digging up tree roots and shooting rogue attack squirrels?" But then I lost my fancy Italian leather journal, so I thought, what the hell...
And given that it was one year - to the day - that we are making our great exodus, well, it doesn't take a rogue squirrel (or maybe the captain of the rogue squirrels) to see the sense in this blog. And so here we are. Or maybe I was right in my first reaction to Hunter and I should actually be saying, "And so here I am" since you may not be here at all. Which is totally fine, and Hunter, even you shouldn't feel bad if you're not reading this because none of this would be happening if it weren't for that damn fancy Italian leather journal.

Love this Cam and Jack! Even though I cannot comprehend that this will actually happen... Guess we will be driving up that beautiful coast A LOT to see you guys!
Love you to death! xox
Love the "blog" idea. I do admit, however, that I've been devising a secret plot in order to overthrow your entire harebrained, Chris McCandless-esque idea...yet to be revealed...stay tuned. If my plot fails, and you do end up leaving me, at least leave your beautiful wardrobe behind; I'm sure all you'll need is a good pair of hiking boots, a few wifebeaters, a rain slicker, and one warm sweater. ;)
...no pants, I guess.
Ha! Maybe I'll just wear really tall boots. :)

This ia my first comment :) just letting you know. So are you planning on having a tv? Or are you just gonna live like a caveman with your husband? And you should have cows to drink leche and sheep to make your own fuzzy socks when its cold. You should also go where its not to cold or hot. The cows will freeze and your sheep will sweat. And you should have lots of kids!
Oh! I forgot to say that its magali :)
