Back to School 2011-12 (Round 1)

Jordan is a Senior in high school this year. Man, that is hard to believe. Where does time go? At his first football game last week he was a captain. And they won! What a way to start their season. I am looking forward to coming home and seeing him at Senior Awards Nights and especially graduation :) I can't wait to see where his life takes him :)

As for me... I have another 2 weeks until classes start. Gonna move in around the 22nd of this month. Yay!

Summer of '11

Where to even begin? I have had quite the summer. I have had been fortunate enough to score 2 jobs this summer: Subway again, and Xerox. Working full time (M-F) at Xerox and weekends at Subway. What does that mean? A growing bank account! That and that I am tired and don't do much else. Not complaining too much.

Back in July, I got to take a weekend trip over to Eastern Oregon. Road trip with Hannah Fair to see her apartment and my boyfriend, Richard. The weekend after that I got to go and see Katy Perry in concert with my BFF Hannah Porter. That was an unforgettable evening.

With the money that I have been saving this summer I was able to purchase my first car! Found her on Craigslist from a nice couple out in Rockaway Beach. She is a 1989 Volvo 240 sedan. Her name is Violet.. I am very excited to have bought it with my own money! Also, this month was the Mayfield Beach Retreat. The 4 of us went to Manzanita on Wednesday and stayed there for 2 nights before meeting up with the rest of the Mayfield's outside of Lincoln City at a house. It was a great weekend get-away with an awesome family.

Today is September 1st. I can hardly believe it. Only 21 more days until I go back to Ashland! :D Can't wait!
