Blah

Man. Lately I've been feeling sick. Out of sorts. And in disarray. Oh well, I'll get over it. I am just glad that right now, that we have such great in-laws to live with. I am just a bit discouraged. I need a job, but everywhere I've applied is still reviewing all the applications.

And this weather is throwing me off. I know I was born and raised here. But I was getting used to the sun. It's not that the rain and clouds depress me or anything, but it does throw me off a little. I am used to it being all bright and sunny at 6.30am.

But I have faith that I'll get a job soon, and Shane did get one. However, it is just a commission based job and the site he sells from has been down for nearly three days. So, I really hope it gets going.

Bah! Enough complaining. My family went to see my sister graduate from the Air Force! So exciting. I had planned to go, but with the move and everything, I had to save. I wanted to see you Brit!!! Thank goodness for facetime;-)

I love 23rd AVE

I love this store. I wish it wasn't so expensive. But, when I find things on clearence, it's pretty great. ;-) I wish I could buy their shoes. They stop at size 10. Saddness.

Selections from the Rhododendron Garden

Here is the beginning of our adventure. This is all taken place at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. One of my favorite places to go as a kid. First we stop right outside the park for some feed for the ducks/birds and nuts for the squrriels. It's $2 per bag. Then, to enter the park it's $3. Or only $25 for the year for a family pack.
Sorry this one is sideways. Here they all are. Gathered around us.
Joseph and Shane being crazy.

New Home

My in-laws have so graciously let us stay at their place in Milwaukie until we are sure of where the Lord wants us next. Here is our little set up for now. A living area, and the bed in the office;-) It works quite nicely for the time being. I have the best in-laws ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life

So, this is strange. Getting used to things. No job right now. We are hooked up with Shane's parents right now. Who are awesome people. Bering filing out apps online left and right. I really hope this legal secretary one turns into something. He emailed me back with a whiter questionnaire for me to fill out. ((fingers crossed))

It is great being here with the family. Just did some face time with mom, dad, and Joseph. I was able to show them around here;-) great stuff.

Megan is visiting tomorrow! Ya Hala here we come!!!

New Do

So I streaked my hair.
Looks more like I dyed it all over though.
I can't decide if I like it.
What say you?

Lazy Saturday

So I didn't do much this Saturday. Cleaned a little. Then I did a put this puzzle together. It was fun, but hard starting out.
Viola!
"John's Potato Soup" My favorite. My dad's favorite first, hence the name. Haha.
And it's totally the best for dipping bread in;-)
Rice crispy treats with chocolate chips for dessert! And The Office reruns!

Goodbye

Dear Hermiston, I will miss you. Especially the people in it. And LFC. And my job. And this wall I painted in Shane's office. I'll miss going to Wal Mart and seeing 7+ people I know.
This is the view from my desk. Yes, I'll miss that too. You can look straight ahead and barely see these swirl/flourishes I painted in Aaron's office. I'll miss that too.
I'll even miss folding bulletins. Not as much as other things, but just a bit. Hehe. I'll miss random balls of tumbleweed on the roadside. And the sun. I'll miss the sun, alot.
And I will most assuredly miss this computer. I think I'll save for one. Yes, I am a Mac girl;-) Love it!

But, it's not all bad news. At least for now we get to move to Portland. And for that I am happy. I hope we get to stay in the area. (Or nearby) But I will miss all my Hermiston friends!

Hummm

Hello there. I have lately been bored with my work outfits. So I thought I'd try some new stuff. Here we go. For this, I stole my husband's belt. Hehe.
I made this necklace...
I am not sure what I think about this lace shirt.
Love these shoes!
At the end of the day, slippers are best (oh, and my bird friend, Earl) hahaha.

Shoes

For those of you who do not already know, I love shoes. I have alot. Boots, sandles, OXFORDS, chucks, pumps, flats, etc. I love these red flats. Fads lately show shoes with socks and skirts, and tights with open toe shoes. I still never do that... I am not sure how I like it. Eh, whatever. What are your thoughts?

New business cards...finally

I would make everything from craft paper, if possible. I love it. But rarely can you order business cards on it. So, I made my own. I made them awhile ago, and here's the proof. Hehe.
