Remember when all I'd talk about over Christmas Break was going to Portland, OR...

Well, I am going to Portland, OR. Or, well, Vancouver, WA, which is right across the river from Portland, OR. My friend, Eric, lives there, and so Eric, my roommate, Becky, and our friend, Derek, are going home with Eric! It's a 30 hour drive, and we are breaking it in half, but Becky and I are excited like little ammatures. She's never seen the ocean, either, so it's pretty exciting. We're going to stop either in Wymoning, and stay at his sister-in-law's house, or in Idaho with Becky and my other roommate, Michelle. That makes the trip 16/18 hours for the first option, and 20/14 for the other. I'm excited! Do you know they have a bookstore the size of a city block, and three levels high? Do you know it rains all the time there? Ah! So, we leave Friday in Fern (my LITTLE green car), and Becky and I pretty much don't talk about anything but that.

Exciting, huh?

My boss just had her baby, and it's a boy, and his name is Bristen Clarence. More excitement.

Otherwise, I've just been working (consequently, I am at work right now), going to school (almost halfway done with this semester, and my college career?), and hanging out (ok, that one might be getting too much attention). Life is crazy. Our Spring Banquet is coming up, and I plan that sucker. The theme is James Bond (007, 2007, kind of cheesey, I know). I'm excited about it, though. The Women's Conference is coming up, and my momma is speaking at that. I got offered a chance to intern at Indian Creek this summer...I don't know if I'll do that or not. And a friend of mine wants me to photograph her wedding! Geez, look at me. I have a lot of decisions to make in the next few months, but mostly, right now, I'm just ready for THE NORTHWEST!

I'll have a picture update when I get back!

Love to all, and Grandmere, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ok you won't have zero comments. I hope you have fun on your trip. Don't forget to take your digital camera and take pictures of unique signs. I'll take any kind of sign,like I saw a SouthPark Baptist sign by your school. All I could think about was the episode where they were trying to find a religion and made there own up. But mostly I want road signs.
All the love I have,

PS: Dad forgot to tell you that you need to remember to bring me back a Portland present. ;)

Your favorite sister

So I didn't even realize you posted in Jan. That is why no post from me. Anyway truly very excited for you to get to go to Portland. Wondering if they allow sleepovers at the gianormus bookstore. That would be the best of both worlds. You could set all your favorite author's books around you and have a discussion just like you used to do with all my ceramic figurines. Have a blast!!! Mom
