Rainy/Black/Watum lakes

What a great day! I decided to take the day and go for a little adventure in the forest. It felt good to go and spend some time alone to re-focus before I leave for Jordan on MONDAY!!! My goal was to just hang out at Rainy lake and read for a while, but I missed the turnoff and found myself at Black lake. I took a couple of pictures and then tried to find Rainy lake. I found a sign that said "Rainy Lake, Watum Lake 8 miles". So I figured that I was on the right track. I would be wrong though! I made it 1/2 way to Watum lake before I ran into a lady coming from Watum lake who assured me that I was going the wrong way! When I back to the starting point I was another sign about 100 feet from the first one that said Rainy Lake 1/4 mile! Oops, it was a great little hike anyway. I now feel refreshed and ready to face this adventure head on one day at a time.

A fun night with friends

I had the opportunity to get away to the beach with two wonderful friend this past week. We went to cannon beach and had a great time. The tide was so low friday morning that we were able to see an incredible amount of little creatures. It was great to get to the ocean and get refreshed for the next week ahead. I look at my schedule for the next week and part of me gets anxious that I have such a busy schedule, but the majority of me is so overwhelmed  by the amount of people that love me and want to spend time with me. Thank you so much for loving me well. Enjoy my pictures! (Note: 9 days until the posts are done from Jordan!)

My New Apartment!

I have a place to live! Here are a few pictures that I just received. It looks great to me. I will be living with a girl who is 28 and has been there for 2 years. 
These first 3 pictures are of my bedroom.







It looks like there is plenty of room for visitors :)
