A Quick Update

There have been messages left on my phone, messages left on the blog, comments made to me in person.... UPDATE YOUR BLOG!!! Here it is and don't be disappointed that it is a short one with no pictures...

My last day of working in an office was on Friday the 13th!!! WHOOHOO!!

Jesse's brother and his girlfriend got here on the 12th and leave this Monday. We have been very busy with them... went to Southern Oregon camping. The boys rode their dirt bikes in the dunes and the girls went off in the Jeep to find a few waterfalls. Totally amazed that we found the waterfalls... Steph is a great map reader. We showed the boys where the waterfall was on the map and they were impressed with our navigation skills. No, we did not have the GPS! We wanted it but forgot it at the apartment. Side note: They were painting fresh yellow center lines on the way to the waterfall and the road was EXTREMELY narrow with no shoulder or guard rail and a steep drop off. We were scared so we just stopped as they drove by and well... I have some yellow on the jeep to prove it. Oops!

We just got back this afternoon from a mini road trip to Central Oregon. We saw the crooked river gorge... really cool. Went in a lava cave. Very dark and cold!! Went on a few scary jeep trails... scratched the Jeep up. Sorry Dad - I told Jesse to turn around but he insisted that we keep going down this narrow path that seemed only wide enough for a bicycle. (Dad, can we come over and use your new buffer? We'll give you a Sunday ride!!) Ended with Crater Lake. Last night we stayed in Medford Oregon at this really cool hotel were they had a live band called "Hot Gossip" that played very fun rock music from the 70s and 80s. We wanted more 80s... we asked them to play Bon Jovi or some Meatloaf but they told us that they didn't have a keyboard player so they couldn't do those songs. If only I had my keyboard that I got for Christmas that one year...

Moving... we only have about 10 days left. Are we packed?!? Ha! No! I have gathered all the boxes and will start on Monday. Promise!

Moving worries... So, Jesse's brother Jerry gets here and starts looking at all the stuff we have: 2 garages, a couple of big trees and an apartment. He tells us so openly and freely... you are not going to have enough room on the trailer!! WHAT?!!!? So now I am in a little bit of a panic that we are not going to have enough room... then what? We call Jesse's Dad who has been telling us we have SO MUCH room and he reassures us that we will have plenty of room and we will not have to leave anything behind. I'll let you know what happens... (Stressing me out!!)

Alright I must get going... I'll try to update you before we leave.
