Let's get caught up... part two

Ok, Im gonna take a quick break from my homework to finish my update really quick. Lets see, I left off on my trip to washington. which was a blast and also my first time to washington I should add, So I can add another state to my list! After that I hit the books pretty hard and didn't really do much but on the weekends I get a little ansy so Debi decided to take me up to a place called Skinners Butte. It was a beautiful day. I must mention really quick that the weather has been amazing since I have been here... Chilly but usually always sunny. Im pretty sure the Oregonians tell other people that the weather here sucks as a ploy to keep people from moving here.. Im convinced lol. Anyways this was a beautiful sunny day so we took Riley, Debi's grandaughter who is four to Skinner's Butte and then this amazing park on the river that is so great for kids. Here are some pics from that fun day outside.

Who said the sun doesn't shine in Oregon?

A view over Eugene, my new apartment is right across the street from the U of O football Stadium (Autzen Stadium)

At the park on the Willamette River.. It was so full and moving fast!! And ofcourse I had my Camera with me, doesnt leave my side here in OR!


Riley at the park... such a cutie!

It was a very fun day .
So I havent mentioned miss Kaylei Mae yet which is surprising because she is one of my favorite people in Oregon. Kaylei or Kay as I call her is Danielle's Daughter. She is almost 9 months old and is freaking adorable Since I have been here she has learned how to do so many different things and watching her figure them out is so fun. It brings me back to the days I watched Piper. Here are some pics of Miss Kay..

Auntie Jenna play time!

Standing all by herself!!


I love that little girl!!

Also I got to see one of my closest friends from California when she came up to visit her family. Melissa got to stop by Eugene and have lunch and I got to show her a few places, like where I go to school, where I live right now and also my favorite park which I mentioned before..Hendricks Park....




Hmm lets see what else... Oh 2 weeks ago my friend Tyler took me out to the coast. I had really wanted to go and was having a bad day so we just headed out there. The COAST (not beach lol) is about 45 min- an hour and the funny thing is you take the 126 highway out to get there... Sometimes I feel like Eugene is a parallel universe to Santa Clarita lol. Anyways we ended up heading to Newport which is quite a bit further than we thought but we really wanted to have lunch at the Rogue Brewery which was amazing and ofcourse had to sample some of their awesome brews. So far my favorite restaurant/brewery in Oregon.

After Lunch we headed back down the coat to Tyler's parents house which is literally on the water. So Awesome! On our way we had to stop and hike down a little bit .. Here are a couple more pics of the amazing Oregon Coast, one of the first reasons I ever even wanted to move to Oregon!


We had a great time at the beach and on the way home we stopped of at a casino to play the 5 dollar bill I had found on the beach .. and I won 20 bucks!! I didnt want to push my luck so I stopped there lol.

Ever since then I have pretty much been at the Knight Library at University of Oregon.. I can stay here all night long so it has been my new home..


And this is for my father who wants pictures of everything.. even though this will only be my room for about 9 more days .. this is where I have been laying my head down at night and doing all my studying!!

What my bed usually looks like lol

Hope you like them Daddy! Ill take more pics of everything up here soon I promise!!

ONE MORE THING haha, this got me pretty excited.. the last few days it has been snowing!! Everyone knows how much I love snow but I must admit this is the weirdest snow ever ... it will snow really hard, huuuge flakes and then 20 minutes later it will be sunny and not a cloud in the sky.. and then snowwwwww, and then sunny... so strange, well I tried to take a picture of the snow.. I dont think you can see much but there is a snowflake on my sleeve so here it is..



ANYWAYS .. whew that was a very long update but for the most part we are up to speed now. I am heading up to portland this weekend to finally see Laura and also my friend Geoff. Then I am coming home and packing up my room and moving some of my stuff over before I head down to California for Spring break!! I am so excited to see my family and friends.. and the newest addition to the world Weston!! Ill spend about a week in Cali and then Harlie and I (yep I get to take her home with me!!!!) head back up to my new apartment, finish moving in just in time to start the new quarter!! Life is so good right now, and I truly owe it all to my parents. Just keep praying that I find a job soon so I can help them out a lot. All right well Ive put off homework long enough and I promise I will update more often so keep checking back!! I sure do miss everyone!!!

Bye for now :)
