Its Official....

I have two pieces of good news.....
1. I was offered a job (finally)
2. I'm coming home to visit

I'm still working out the exact details of my trip to Oregon but basically I should be in Oregon from the 5th of July to the 16th. I have lots of things to work into my trip, and I am so excited to see everyone. I wasn't able to see everyone during my last trip, and I'm hoping with such a nice long trip I can work everyone in. I will let you all know my exact plans but they do include time in KFall to visit Gma B, time in Corvallis to celebrate my dad's bday, time with Katy (I didn't see her at all last time), time in Portland with Gpa Gale, visit OHSU SoN (hopefully a nice lunch?), Seeing all of my other friends (Char, Mikaylee, Caroline, Carly, Jolene, and so many more), spending time with family, and the OCF. I'm sure that I left something out, but all in all I am so excited to come home.

Ok.. the job part. I was offered a position with the W.P. Carey School of Business Undergraduate program. I will be starting June 2nd, and its full time work. I'm excited to have a job, and am looking forward to to meeting new people, challenging my self, and to be getting a paycheck again. There are other perks of the job.. which include tickets to ASU events... no worries.. I'm still a Beaver fan and will plan on attending all ASU vs. OSU events. Go Beavers! If you are coming down to any of the games in Arizona let Kyle and I know and we would love to put you up.

Oregon Country Fair Time....

The Oregon Country Fair is just around the corner and I am excited as ever!  Here are some pics from last year!  I am happy to say that I will be able to attend for the 2008 OCF.... 

What the Fair looks like before we get there.... Kyle and I scoped out the booth and thankfully no trees were down, and everything was in place...

The Stage... Some day we are going to have to replace this thing, but until then we will continue to have performances by meandering performers.. always a treat

Setting up.. the transition is a lot of fun!

Falafel's anyone?  I love being behind the booth!  

Mike is the Falafel master... 

Every Sunday, never fails... the backless tux.  I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

After a hard day or night of partying... It's my tent and I think its Sasha.  Oh well I think this sums it all up.  I cant wait to get back and enjoy all what the OCF has to offer.  

In Memory..

Just a few pics from the slide show that we put together for my grandmother.  She was exceptionally beautiful, caring, and compassionate.  I miss her, and think about her often. She and my grandfather were married in 1950, and had many fun adventures during that time.

Off to their Honeymoon !!!

Sisters...

Grandma and Grandpa in their backyard.  They had one of the most amazing gardens, and it was always fun to spend the summers in The Dalles and help out in the garden.

Grandma and her sister

I have thought of her often, and I am very thankful for all of the time I was able to spend with her and my grandfather.  I was so happy that they moved to Portland, and enjoyed my many trips to their house to do laundry, and a wonderful dinner was always part of the evening.  

She was pretty special!

Golf Date

Just a glimpse of out life in AZ. Kyle took me golfing the other weekend and we had a blast. It was the first time that I golfed 18 holes. Kyle says that I did good and showed a lot of patience. I think I have slight ADD when it comes to golf. I think the best part is driving the cart!

Pics from my trip to Oregon

I actually didn't take many pictures during my trip to Oregon... but here are a few

Went to East to watch Jeffery on Friday! Just one of the things I miss about my roomie & Portland!
Carly, and I. We walked around on Saturday morning, with Matt and went shopping, the market, and had sushi! A Perfect day in the city!
Tulips! I love Tulips.. a sign of the weather changing!
I miss my sisters!

I miss all of my friends... I wish you could all come visit! I am planning on coming home in July for the OCF, and just to spend time with everyone!

1st Day as a Temp

Well, I had my first day as a Temp. It was a pretty good day, and all in all I felt pretty productive. I guess its just nice to get out of the house, all I did was make copies, and enter data into filemaker. Oh well, I go back tomorrow and get to do it all over again! I'm just happy to be out of the house and to be making some money!

It really made me miss my old job! I was really spoiled at the SoN!

I have to put a little shout out to my friend Caroline! She was so sweet and mailed me a copy of a book on interviewing! I am working on reading it, and learning all of the things that I have been screwing up on in my previous interviews! Thank you so much! You are such a good friend!
