Loving Life


Things are going pretty darn good right now!

After getting over the majority of the chaos of moving, my class work and job are starting to catch up with me. But I'm okay with it!


My friends keep telling me how much they miss me, and that they never get to see me any more. I miss you guys too! It's been over a month since I've been able to enjoy a good karaoke night at the bar. But here's what I've been doing:


Rose Cup Races: I'm the event manager for this year's Rose Cup Races out at Portland International Raceway, May 20 - June1! We have Friday Night Drags, a Saturday Cruise In, and Sunday OMRRA motorcycle racing new this year. I'm having a blast going to car shows every weekend and passing out information for my cruise in. If you don't have plans this upcoming Sunday, come with me! They're a lot of fun and I could definitely use the help!

Concert at the Park: I'm the event manager for this year's Concert at the Park, which features the Portland Rose Festival's oldest traditions, marching bands, in one of its newest events! I'm busy writing out the line-up and getting my bands ready to go for the big day, June 6!


Volunteers: I am the volunteer coordinator for the Portland Rose Festival. I LOVE IT! I coordinate volunteer work days, correspond with all volunteers, create spread sheets for the different events, and will soon create an awards dinner to thank everyone that's helped to make this year a huge success!


Marylhurst: I'm finishing up the last 4 weeks of my Grant Writing Course and a Graphics and E-Media Course online. My last two classes, and then I walk June 21st!!! I can't believe it! I'm just bummed that finals will be during the Portland Rose Festival, I'm going to be one busy girl!

Things are going great at home with my sister, after I put my foot down and she freaked out we've come to some new terms and she has actually been going to school every day now that I've made it clear she doesn't have a choice if she wants to live with me.

Odin is growing in to a ginormous black lab, and eating less and less of my shoes and bras every week. My step-mom has started a new interest in my life and is mysteriously trying to make nice with me. And after the craziness of May and June are over I'll get to start planning my birthday party and wedding for next summer.

I'm liking life right now...
