Oregon

Oregon is a beautiful place. It is full of green and clouds...rain and fog....but I am in awe of the nature here. Mom and I landed on Friday the 13th after flying all day and I walked into a room full of my stuff. I have no idea how I am going to get it all back to New York again but it will happen. I got it all out here so there you go! We spent most of Valentine's Day with my friends Jason and Stephanie. We went up to Jason's family ranch and just drank tea and laughed. It was so good that I forgot I was in culture shock. I am from a more urban area than out here in the hills and mountains of Oregon. I have never seen so many trucks before and I didn't realize how many there were until I got back this last time.

I said bye to mom after church on sunday and headed back into the mountains where I stayed with my friend Stephanie while she house sat for our mutual friends the Burchs. It was a wonderful 48 hours of just mucking stalls, girl time, movies, laughes and tough talks about realtionships and bi polar. I am coming out of my depression but Steph seems to be in one and we talked as we both have bi polar about the reality of this illness and how you can't just buck up and get over it all.

I spent most of tuesday spinning my wheels, just feeling out of place in this small town of McMinnville, Oregon. I am feeling so overwhelmed but I am doing what I can to keep depression out of my way.

What an adventure life is...just one huge adventure.
