Spring retreat '10

Low points:

* I thought my ipod was dying * I thought (luckily it didn't) my camera was gonna run out of battery *I felt somewhat left out at the dance because no one really stuck with me dancing and I couldn't think of moves. *Stress about the test tomorrow, studying

High points:

* The dance was still fun *Early morning donuts *The beach was amazing, sand sculptures, pictures, the ocean, friends, and the sense of peace I always feel at the beach *Friends in general, making new ones *The car trips with music, laughter, and accents *The food *Going to the Tillamook cheese factory and getting cheese/lunch *Final gathering being in a big circle holding hands and singing *Playing games *Our short ultimate game... the list is endless but that is most of it!!!

What a relaxing weekend!!!

Updates for January and February

* I got my job back at the bon, and as of yesterday I'm off probation, but still can't take other's shifts... I need the money... =( And work has been more and more annoying. I am debating on working there next year or not.

* I tried color photos on my photography camera for the first time, just haven't done anything with the roll yet!!

* I failed two exams. Bummer, and I studied. That's only a small part of my many frustrations, this, work, and many other things.

* I saw Players presents Friday, good stuff!!! Great work guys!!

* Early February my good friend Steve Mortinson came and visited! It was SOOOOO GOOD to see him. However I haven't heard from him since then. =( I hope he's doing ok in Korea.

* Steve and I'm joint book is almost done, just waiting for some photos from Steve, unless I can look through again and find some that fit!! When they are done, if you wanna copy, let me know and I need payment!!!

* Alex Post now lives in Newberg!!! Yay!!! He's helped me a lot.

* I had the best Valentines/SAD party ever!!! About 15 people came!!! We ate food, chatted, played Apples to Apples/ Chutes and Ladders, took pictures and watched Rob Hall dance single ladies!!! Hahahah. Way to rock it Rob!!! I also got a lot of Valentines day, thanks everyone!!!

* My Camp Counseling and Programming class went to Tilikum for a retreat. My gosh its beautiful. It was fun, cooking our own stuff, playing games and learning its history. Low point, we slept in a tent with wood floors and bunks....br... hahah, funny thing the toilets near our camp look like porta-potties (they aren't) but have bible book names,... first John, 2nd John, 3rd John and Revelation!!! Ahahahah!!!

* Lipsync was awesome!! Dak's group won again. Ninja struck out again. I think Ramalamas should have won.... but at least they and Rob's group placed!!!

*I've been playing Beatles rock band!!! =D

* Been having struggles with diabetes but I managed.

* Saw V for Vendetta finally, good movie despite A. It's rated R B. Intense scenes C. There are some parts of the plot I couldn't understand... "Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpower and treason plot, I know of no reason, why t this gunpower treason should ever be forgot."

*I've been attending Tigard Friends Church and think I found the place. My friend Forrest attends there, and his family has been bringing me to church with them. They are (the Cammacks) a wonderful family! They even invited me over for dinner last (not the 28th, the one before) Sunday to lunch at their place, Tami is a good cook! She also helped me this morning (technically yesterday morn) by seeing how I was because I asked Dan Cammack if I could find a place to talk to God privately. I was in tears. After starting to calm down, we talked and I felt even more better. The people are very welcoming and kind! =D

* Barracuda is on fire!!! One game I scored my highest 3 points, my personal best game was three Thursday, 5 (?) catches/throws, 3 tds, and won the game for my team!! Two thursdays ago I caught three passes I never thought I would have gotten! Yeyeah!

*A couple of weeks ago I went to my first Blazer's game for Roomies!! It was a blast! The music, the game, my awesome roomies date Scotty Porter, a bag of popcorn= fun! I am now a Blazer's fan. I want to go to another one!!!

Scotty and I at the game, go Blazers!

Abbey and I after work, we are Popes!
