I LOVE THE OCEAN! Love, love, love it!

This weekend I was so blessed as to go on a coast adventure with my lovely husband, my good friend Jennifer, and the incomparable Jasper.  We traversed the state to Cannon Beach, where live my eldest brother, his wife, and their lovely children.  It was sunny, which is amazing for the Oregon Coast, and even slightly warm!

Starbucks

I am really enjoying my job here at the Madras Safeway Starbucks! They put me on the morning shift, (without asking, by the way), which means that pretty much every morning I get up at 4am, FOUR IN THE MORNING, to get to work by 4:30am and get the store kiosk ready for opening.  As a consequence of this and the fact that I still do not have a driver's license, either Nathan or Rick also must get up that early.  It has created quite a bit of strife in our relationships. :) So in the near-ish future I will need to take the driving test.... Ugh!

The Difficulties of Life

So, awhile back, I published a blog about how things were going.  This post seemed to upset people for some reason and I didn't really understand why.  "All I'm doing," I thought to myself, "is sharing what I'm going through, mentally and well as environmentally." [ I try not to share what I'm going about physically ;) ] Why would people be concerned? I believe I've hit upon the answer, at least in part.
