He makes me brave. I know it is so hard to understand, but nothing feels more effortless than being brave and happy after making time for Him.

Seattle

blahhhh

Every time I go to load pictures from te road trip on here, it take tooooo long to load even one. Sorry, but you may not see many pictures of it.

I just want to read....ALL THE TIME!

                                                     Powell's books, Portland, OR

I know I am really really really far behind on my 365 pic things. I'm sorry. I will get to it. I am preparing a CPR presentation/teaching thing right now, so after that maybe.

Oh Adventure, I love you

Got back to Boise at about 1 am Sunday morning, the 2nd of April.
My laptop is not connecting to the internet so blogging will have to wait. I am excited to show you pics from the Portland adventure. One thing is certian, it was an adventure from start to finish. It had all the makings of an adventure;
 car problems,
 no place to sleep,
 new friends,
brushing your teeth at a McDonalds,
seeing old friends in a random place,
getting stuck in a random snow storm,
 thrift store shopping,
 having to buy a new coat,
cheap-o hotel rooms,
 me forgetting my tooth brush somewhere,
walking all day,
finding yourself out in a bad part of town with Shekinah late at night while waiting for Clayton to pick you up,
Salsa dancing,
breathtaking nature,
laughing way too hard,
free samples,
late night snacks,
pizza and beer at a hole in the wal place,
being blessed with great places to stay the last three nights,
running on empty in the middle of nowhere,
inside jokes that never got old (at least not to me hehe),
spending less time at a destination thatn it took to drive to said place,
cold,cold,cold,
rain, rain, rain,
coffee,
doughnuts,
getting pulled over a few miles from home for something ridiculous,
and people watching.
  So many great things.
I couldn't think of a better way to spend my spring break.
LOVE MY LIFE!

About a month untill my next adventure! So excited to see my family for my birthday (all but my sister, I wish she was going to be there too)!
 Miss those babies an awful lot.

I finally found it!

The tea cup big enough to quench my giant thirst for tea!!!

Way blessed

Shekinah and I just got back from Salsa dancing in downtown Portland. It was a really fun time and I learned alot of new moves. Cannot wait to go to Boise Cafe next Friday and bust out my new skills. :]
We were WAY blessed with a free hotel room tonight, and a nice one at that. The last few days have been a total blessing. The trip started out a bit rough but things are working out. I blame Jesus for it all starting to work out. :] hehe
 We were able to stay in pretty much a mansion of a house last night and the night before that belonged to Devindas (our new Indian friend). We had some good tea, cozy beds, and some great laughs. :]

                                    This was the group pic right before we left this morning. :]


I will post more pictures once I am home and can sort them all. I have some on my phone and others on my camera, and all that jazz.

Oh btw Ania, when and if you read this, I think you belong in Portland. You are confident and just peculiar like the people here. I think you would love it.
