PORTLAND BOUND!!!

Yay yay yay!!!

I am going to be moving to Portland/Vancouver Spring term! After a somewhat grueling process of interviews, forms and portfolio reviews I was selected to participate in the UO School of Journalism Senior Experience. I will be taking a couple classes at the Turnbull Center in Portland and getting paid and school credit for an internship! I am verrrrrry excited about the opportunity and I get to move in with 4 beautiful ladies (K.Waddy, Kim, Steph and Clutie)! My plan was to graduate after Winter term, but the opportunity the Senior Experience provided was just too good to pass up! Lil' Poi dog and I will be making the move after spring break and I am counting down the days! 

Turkey Day is just around the corner and I am already welling up with emotion for all that I have to be thankful for! I am so blessed to have an amazing family, with members of it who are willing to sacrifice many aspects of their lives so others can be free. I am grateful for the most amazing and wonderful group of girlfriends anyone could possibly ask for. I am also very grateful for the opportunities that have been put in my path. I am hopeful for those who are suffering, I know that many times illness and loss cannot be explained, but the understanding and acceptance of faith can bring comfort. 

I'll save the rest for the day of thanks, but I am thinking of everyone far and near :)
