I would add a picture but...

It has been a handful of months before I have updated this. I know it's sad. But I'm back on the late night schedule. I starting to think after the past two weeks my body actually prefers less sleep. It's kinda neat but at the same time I'm fearing the moment of crash.
I'm up late tonight working on my second job. Yes, I said it... second job. It's actually a sweet deal that allows me to make some extra cash and accomplish one of my life goals. I am writing a book. Okay so it's not an ordinary, let me share my life story, kind of book, it's a study guide for the TOEFL. For all of you not familiar with that acronym it stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. The study guide is geared toward college students on college topics. It's a silly job but it's a good mix up from what my real job is. Sometimes it's real nice to write and not have to talk. I'm considering on taking the TOEFL, seeing as I'm writing a study guide for it. The fear of failing at the English language is kind of frightening, and possible embarassing.

Other happenings in my life...
I'm moving in t-minus a lot of days. Actually I don't have a count down. I just know it is going to come sooner than I realize and I'm not going to quite packed when it happens. That's a lie, because I don't have much to pack.

Summer is arriving in 5 days (not actual summer, but summer camp summer) and I'm excited slash stressed. I have quite a list to accomplish, but as I continue to learn: the show still goes on and kids still have probably one of the best weeks of their lives. I'm going to try to have the best summer of my life. That might be hard but I think it is doable. I'll just work less and work less. No not really. My job is what will make my summer great. I get to hangout and coordinate medical people and their families; I get to go running and not worry about getting hit by a car; I get to jump in the river instead of a pool if I want to; I live in an outdoor mecca.

I would add a picture of this place and myself but I haven't downloaded any new pics worthy of posting. Maybe next time... hopefully it will be sooner than later.

I Forgot to Mention...

I need to refer to a previous post, but I'm not to sure which one it is... but I saw antelope! I didn't think it would ever happen but it did. Not only did I see one, but a whole pack (or is it herd?) of them. Anyway, they do exist along with the eagles and the cougars that live out here too.

The Sound of Rain is Great

It is the 1st day of March. It is raining. It is also very cold and I'm ready to say hello to the sun again. I'm reading a book and it talks about saying goodbye. For someone who doesn't do well with change, it gives a great perspective on the word and what it could mean . By the way, that "someone" is me.

"...if you do not say good-bye, then you cannot say what comes next. And what comes next is always hello." Robert Benson

Are we there yet?

When I say "are we there yet?" I am referring to Spring. I am ready for it to warm up or should I say I am ready for my core body temp to warm up. The groundhog did not see its shadow last Friday so Spring is supposed to come sooner... if the tale is true.
So I have not posted in a while, maybe because I have not worked a night shift in a long while. Those late night shifts gave me something to do when I got home... they are soon to start up again. So what have I been up to, besides anxiously awaiting a rise in temperature? I have been practicing my dance and skateboard skills; eating cookies; developing a real passion for climbing; practicing my medical terms; getting ready to start up running again; enjoying playing guitar hero; drinking coffee, and frequently getting to visit Portland and Bend and enjoying my friends there too.
So that is a short summary of my life these days. On a serious note spiritually the Lord is teaching me the realness of His goodness, that I'm not self-sufficient, and my walk with him depends on faith. I think those will all be life long re-occuring lessons, which leads me to I NEED HIM. As much as it doesn't make sense a lot of times, I need Him.
Okay so the next time I update this I'll probably be coming off a late shift. Until then God Speed and keep those hands warm. Oh and if you are looking for a quality map check out Raven Maps; quality maps!




After being stuck behind the 2nd round-up this year, I began to think to myself again, "are you joking me right nos?! Where do I live?!?"
