It has been OVER A YEAR since my last post. My, oh my. That time has gone by faster than I ever thought it could. Since my last post I have moved three times. To Sisters, where David and Leah opened up their foster home, then back to Bend and into my first apartment. Now I am living in a house on the westside of Bend with two incredible girls. I know, three girls in one house? I dont know how it works, but it does. Also, in the past year I have put over 20,000 miles on my car, mostly driving the highway between Eugene and Bend, I ate my first mango, got 5 tattoos, I have met countless interesting people and have definitely fallen in love with Bend. I feel weird saying that but it is true.
I have my roommates to thank for that. Before I moved in with these girls I didnt really care where I ended up after school. I still didnt really feel like I belonged in Bend but once I started hanging out and meeting all of their friends and making some real friends of my own that I actually had things in common with I started realizing this town isnt so bad after all. Of course, they have both lived here their whole lives and are ready to go somewhere else, but I really really do not want them to. They have showed me so much of this town and I have discovered so many great things about myself and the people around, thanks to them. They will be here at least through the end of this summer, so I know we will make it count.
Mid-june will be my one year mark at my job, Longboard Louie's, healthy mexican food restaurant. I will also FINALLY be graduating from school around then. I am soooo excited and ridiculously nervous about it at the same time. The idea of starting my CAREER in just over a month can be a little terrifying.. buuuut it will be nice to get out of the restaurant.
Its weird thinking about all of the things Ive done in the past year. So many different events/things/people have got me to the place I am now. I guess I have come a lot further than I realized.. I thought I was going to be able to fit all of the major stuff Ive done into a short post but the more I think about it, the more I want to add... maybe this will keep me going for a couple of posts.... gooood night.
