I am returning to Hood River on the 16th of February. I am sad to be leaving Europe, but am actually very excited to be coming home! I really miss Cooper!!!
I am planing on staying in Hood River until I find and apartment and also a job in Chicago. It will be great to be in Hood River for a few months, but I am excited to create a new home for myself in Chi-Town!
I hope everyone is well!
Much love,
Samantha
