Bend

The place a lounged to read in Reno, overlooked the city A random orchard, CA

I don't remember what casino these two were considered. Cool music coming from inside though.

Yay! I finally get to blog from an Oregon city, this is such a great feeling! It's beautiful here right now- very cold and very sunny. Such a great combination! What....I get layers upon layers of clothing and get to enjoy the sunshine, really, does it get better than that. Throw a cup of hot coffee in my hand and call me the happiest girl in the land. Did that rhyme...yes it did, that was not your imagination, although I have no doubt you are all in fact that full of imagination. The more I write that word, the weirder it looks so it will not be said for the rest of this blog.

Because I never got a chance to post any photos from Reno I have some to put up, as well as some random others, I'll try to title them so its easy to figure out what they're from.

Mmm....so I had an organic rice bowl from Cafe Yumm, and it was yum. Dinner.....where to go...where to go....

This place I'm at is awesome, they gave me a free upgrade for no reason at all other than being nice and I have a kitchen, patio, fireplace, livingroom, bar with stools....so fantastic! On another note, I feel like I'm getting arthritis in my hands, perhaps I've been typing too much.

Bones is like the tv show of the road. It's on again, TNT its quickly becoming my best friend.

Work related stuff- went well today. Got up early and drove to Sisters for my first Oregon visit of the year, and from there drove to Culver for my second Oregon visit of the year. I can not explain to you the difference between Oregon and California schools, its unexplainable unless you have experienced it yourself (much like life on the road) but it is so much better here! Perhaps its my mind set, or my love of Oregon country, but its simply beautiful in an astounding way. It was also great to be in the office Friday and Monday before hitting the road again. Catching up on emails, voicemails, scheduling school visits, turning in receipts, basically just getting everything done that I can't do while I'm on the road- which is quite a bit. We have over 500 applications already this year.....that's about 450 more than this time last year, just to give you an idea of the increase. Amazing! I truly can see the Lord blessing our school and blessing my visits. I pray before every visit that I have the right words to say and that the right person hears them, I also just pray that I am used somehow to do God's will, whether that brings a student to Corban or not.

NANA DON"T READ THIS BECAUSE IT WILL GROSS YOU OUT- Bones just showed a guy that had been killed but cats got to him before Bones and Booth did! It's so catwoman.

OKAY NANA- YOU CAN CONTINUE READING NOW.

If any of you know fun things to do in Bend or the surrounding area give me a call or text and let me know what that just might be! I have many evenings to fill. I drove past an abandoned barn and water tower today, definitely going back this week to take some photos as my camera was zipped in my suitcase in the rear of the van.

Okay, I'm off to pick a place for dinner off my fantastic list of excellent placed to dine. :o)
