Chihuly Glass Night

Recently I met up with a wonderful group of photographers. There was a Chihuly Glass exhibit in a local greenhouse. The arrangements, the colors, the shapes. They were beautiful. I had a great time taking photographs of these works of art.

Oregon, My 'Ol Stomping Grounds

So this weekend I went to Oregon, the place I grew up. This part has my heart, but this was the first place where I truely felt like I was a Wash..atonian? Anyways, I missed Washington and the boyfriend. I'm very excited I've moved and have such a wonderful love and friends.

Thursday there was a wonderful memorial for an amazing man named Phil Bauer. There were so many people at the service 
that they had to open the back and add more chairs. Even then there were some people standing. I think that speaks volumes about the man we will always remember. I read a piece I wrote, which is a couple of blogs down.

Friday I consumed way too much coffee as I booked 4 coffee dates in one day. By the time dinner rolled around I needed food asap because I could feel the caffinee. I had a great time reconnecting with my friends. I'm so excited for Miranda and Andy's wedding. They are just the most perfect couple and ar
e truely meant to be.

Saturday was spent with the family at the very muddy dog park. If I were anywhere else I would have minded the mass amounts of mud on my pants. However, in Corvallis you can walk around covered in mud and no one would mind. Then it was off to the wonderful night of worship with the Rockin Worship Band. We raised a good amount of money for the Bauers and had lots of wonderful time with God. I loved it and afterwards everyone went to Sharie's. Memories of after-dance/prom dinners flooded Chelle and my memory.

Sunday rolled around and I finally had breakfast with Jill. She is a wonderful woman and will make an amazing mother. I think God has truely blessed her life. The drive wans't bad, but I was glad to be home. I took some photos while I was there. Some are cool, some are just interesting.
