Planning
In all honesty, though, I'm looking for any excuse to plan a party back there.

Color Post #1: Red
At first I didn't think that I would find much red around me, it's late and I just decided to do this, so I wasn't able to go out and take pictures, but then as I looked around, I realized that I really have surrounded myself with some really beautiful and wonderful shades of red. I personally don't like the really bright and primary-looking shades of red that you can find, but instead prefer the rich and deep tones. They really speak to me as having stories behind them, which I know sounds strange, colors having a story behind them. But to me it makes sense.
Above you see, the top of my desk, here at home, stained a really pretty shade of red, my cowboy boots, which I recently re-discovered my love for, and a teacup that was carried accross the country by my great-great-grandmother. Perhaps there really are stories behind colors, after all. Each of these things have stories, why can't it be the color that is telling the story?

Good Times Gone By
I miss these two and the delicious food at Cup and Saucer in Portland. I may have to take a road trip sometime this summer.
Hope everyone is having a grand time in the sunshine!

Bend Wanderings
Geese rule the river-side parks of Bend.
I had the weekend off this week, which isn't something that normally happens, so I decided to go and wander around some of my favorite parts of Bend since it had been so long. It really seemed like a perfect summer day, for a while. As I walked through one neighborhood, there was even an ice cream truck! The music and kids running after it really made it seem like summertime, even if it was a little chilly.

Packratism
You bring so much stuff with you to college that it barely fits in the car and you have to sit on your brother's lap on the way home (because he is bigger).

Bend
I have officially made it back to Bend, and thanks to my brother's amazing packing skills, so has all of my stuff (both the necessary and un-necessary). I am excited to start sharing somewhere that I am so close to, I really don't think the places you grow up ever leave you entirely, no matter how far you get from them. I need a few days to get everything in order and then I will be heading back to work, scooping ice cream. Hopefully I'll find time for some photos and posts in there.

Summer Wanderings

Storms
Portland has decided that summer is not yet to come to us. I am all right with that though, the heat that we've had the past few weeks has worn me out, and it is strange to me that the nights are so warm, I miss having to wear a coat if you go out at night, but that is just because I am used to it.
