The Town Scribe

YAY for me accepting the Care Coordinator II position at Sea Mar Battle Ground Clinic! I am so excited to start working as something that I went to school for and knowing that the time I spent getting my degree wasn't a waste. It is going to be hard to adapt to a new environment and team but I am so grateful and excited about the opportunity. This is very bittersweet for me because I love the people I work with and have the best boss in the world. November 6th is my last day at America's Best, making me only 2 months shy of being there for three years. My first day at Sea Mar is going to be on November 9th, and I will be spending that week in Seattle completing training. I'm am so excited for this new change. Next on the agenda: apartment shopping because it is time to move out! 

Marianna and I were supposed to be roommates but thanks to Andrew that won't be happening! ;( I guess when people get married all bets are off. On the bright side my good friend found the love of her life and they get to be happy together! I am honored to have been a bridesmaid once more and wish them a lifetime of bliss. Oh by the way, this was the most beautiful wedding ever! 

I know, it has been a while. So many things have happened since I last blogged but life has been just pretty okay lately. I am sitting at Thatchers and for the life of me cannot figure out what to write about- so many ideas and lessons run through my head and I cannot seem to organize my thoughts. If I can pick one word to describe life right now, it would be the word "uncertainty." I've got no idea what my life will be like in one month, one year, five years, etc. and it requires a lot of work in my heart to remain content and trusting that everything works out for good. Here's a poem that's touched my heart lately.  I was thinking of giving a description of what I have been up to lately, but figured that those who are important in my life, already know. Life is difficult, but it's worth the extra work to not be miserable. Hope you guys have a great October. 

I promise I'm alive, will post something relevant to life soon. 

I have been super busy the last few weeks and am doing my best to not get burnt out.  First of all... my baby got married!!! It's bittersweet to have such a good friend get married- I am of course stoked that Mariya and Yura found each other and created a family, but I am definitely gonna miss girl nights and cuddling. Mariya's wedding was so great and it was such an honor to be part of it. Mariya was the most beautiful bride I ever did see. It was super hot that day but we got through it and headed to the beach the next day. We got to Cannon Beach at around 5pm and then went to Ecola State Park to explore. We got down to the beach and played in the tide pools and stuck our fingers into strange sea creatures. After which we decided to climb up a huge, slippery hill and hike our way back. We got lost because someone said "this way seams reasonable!" haha. After making it out, we found a quaint little cafe for dinner, and finished the night off with bonfire on the be...

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!
