Well I am checking things off my list! Mike and I just go back from two nights (check!) in Lincoln City just hanging out (check!) with Judah & Sarah and Thomas & Sage! We went for a walk on the beach (would be a check for “hikes” but despite gale force winds it wasn’t much of an exertion so I’m not going to count it.) We made lots of food and drank lots of wine and Mike and I creamed them all at Pictionary. Seriously creamed them. Seriously.
I decided that the whole weekend should just count as one hang out though because while we did a lot of stuff it was basically uninterrupted. Likewise, we were away for two nights but it only counts for one of my twelve overnight trips away from Portland. I don’t want to cut corners here!
The house we stayed in belongs to one of my students’ grandma and it was so nice! It was built in the 60’s and had some amazing built in shelves that sort of divided the main room into living space and kitchen space without closing it off. I wish I’d thought to take a picture but I’m sort of a dummy about that stuff. I will definitely need to get better at pictures for this Year. Anyway, there were so many windows facing the ocean and the weather alternated between foggy clear, so our view out to sea and up the coast was constantly changing. On Saturday, as I mentioned, it was crazy ass windy and we all walked up the beach to these tidepools only we couldn’t really enjoy them because the wind was literally going to blow us over if we didn’t watch out. So we mostly took pictures of each other getting blown around and then booked it back to the house by way of someone’s private staircase and side yard.
It’s been a great birthday week you guys. I’m realizing that documenting this project on Perfect Heart is going to maybe be more work than the project itself! I haven’t even started in on the book assignments I received from Liz and Jae OR the amazing Soul mix CD’s that came to me in the mail from Rob! I’ll have to do lots of updates I think so stay tuned!
Thanks for the support so far!
Powering on!
