Embracing Change: A Farewell to Sisters & A New Chapter in BendBig News! We’re Moving to Bend, OR!

Mar 19, 2025 | Inspired Living, Life in Progress, Uncategorized



We have so loved living in beautiful Sisters—surrounded by mountains, wild turkeys, farmland, majestic Ponderosa pines, countless deer, and the most amazing people. This town has been more than a home—it’s been a hug, holding us close in ways we never expected.

It’s where True has grown up, wrapped in the magic of small-town life, where they know his name at the bookstore, the café, the grocery store, the post office, and just about everywhere else. It’s where we’ve felt the warmth of community, where time has moved a little slower, and where every season has been met with deep gratitude.

Sisters has held us so beautifully through some truly epic seasons—navigating a pandemic with a small child, healing work that changed us, big career shifts for both of us, and so much more.

And now, it’s time for something new.

Why Bend?

Bend has already been pulling us in—personally and logistically! Climbing gym. Climbing team. Band practice. Clubs. Music classes. Social dates. Carpooling, so much carpooling! And now, with high school on the horizon for True, it just makes sense to fully plant ourselves there.

We’re calling in just the right home—something with cottage vibes, charm, and warmth—a true sanctuary for this next season of life.

Soon, we’ll be putting our beloved Sisters home on the market, ready to pass it on to the next lucky souls who will get to love it as much as we have.

I looooove this home. It has been so good to us. We poured our hearts into it—countless DIY projects, creative touches, cozy corners that hold years of memories. It’s a space that has witnessed laughter, tears, and every version of who we’ve been.

As we say our goodbyes, I’ll be sharing room tours and reflections—a little love letter to this space that has held us so well.

And to Bend…

We can’t wait to meet you fully—to sink into new rhythms and routines, to keep evolving, to say yes to this next chapter of life.

Bend creatives, let’s be friends! I’m so looking forward to connecting, creating, and finding my place in the creative community there.

More soon, but for now, here’s to honoring where we’ve been and embracing what’s ahead.

Sending much love,
