The Town Scribe

I cannot stop listening to Lauren Daigle's new album- the lyrics are gold and this is one of my favorites. 

Are very rare! My job normally doesn't give me Saturdays off for no reason but I guess today is an exception: and I am loving every bit of it. I started my day with making myself french toast, then went to the market where I got cherries for mom and helped myself to some beautiful peonies and now I am sitting inside of Thatchers and sipping on some amazing iced coffee and reading and now blogging. It took me a while to get into the mood of blogging because I refuse to do it out of obligation or forcing myself- that's why this blog post is so boring thus far: I'm not even trying, I'm just lazily typing.. hahahahaha. and now Sabir came and I'm sure I won't get anything done from this point on.  Ok anyway, lets tell you about Canada. We got there on Thursday afternoon and were met with some rain but went kayaking anyway and absolutely loved it. We kayaked around the harbor where we saw seals and ate kelp and I got to hold a jellyfish. The next day we went ziplin...

It still doesn't feel real that I am done with school and commencement is over. Nonetheless I am so happy and so excited about whats to come. A big thank you goes out to my family and friends who encouraged and supported me during this time and came to my graduation! 

Going into the quarter I had thought that taking only one class would allow me to relax and finish off my degree stress free... I was wrong- I hadn't expected that the last class I would take at PSU would be the hardest one yet! I am so thankful for getting the opportunity to study and earn the career of my choice and for the people that helped me along the way. Yay for graduating on Sunday! Meanwhile, I am still interning at NWHF and getting to do awesome site visits and do a lot of networking in the process. Also, I am super excited about my trip to Victoria, BC! So far we have planned to go kayaking, ziplining, sunset sailing, visiting castles, markets and Butchard Gardens. Can't wait!

This Sunday the friends and I took our mothers to the tulip field. I picked tulips until I couldn't hold any more and now have a great colorful view at my table. Oh happy day!

Today was my last first day of class at PSU. It's a bittersweet feeling knowing that I will be done with my degree in June; I enjoy learning and school has changed me completely, but I am sure I will enjoy the freedom of not having homework and hopefully getting to work in the field. 

Spring break was great- it was relaxing to not think about school for one whole week! haha I really took advantage of spending time with people and would say that I did so very successfully. I hung out with my cousins almost every evening and spent Sunday night walking the Columbia Renaissance trail with friends. Monday evening was phenomenal, my friends (with whom I share the blog Four Fair Maidens ) spent it picnicking in our favorite spot on the Portland side of the Columbia while airplane gazing. Our friendship seems so natural and its so comfortable to share our lives with one another. I am so blessed that sometimes I cannot believe the life that I have. head over to Four Fair Maidens to read Kat's post about our evening

Obviously, my nephew is just a grumpy old man XD
