This weekend.

So summer finally decided to come and visit us! I was ready to play too!! I feel so blessed to have such awesome friends to play with. Saturday started with a sweet phone call from my long lost African friend Marci, she had some pretty encouraging words to share with me...super helpful! I love that Gods lets you keep friends even when you are thousands of miles apart.
 Then my two partners in crime came up to Portland for the day!! Jess and Megan are usually in the cards for my days to have fun.

Jess, Meg, my sister and I got all ready and went down to the river in West Linn. It was sooooooo HOT!!!! We LOVED it, but boy oh boy was it hot. We only lasted about an hour and we thought that chips salsa and MARGARITAS sounded better! Yes, we were right:) We sat outside for hours, talking, laughing, playing in the fountain (not suppose to, but way to hot not to). I love my sister and my best friends!

We came back and laughed and ate and drank a little more sitting outside while Josh was doing hard labor tearing apart the deck...he had four girls telling him how we thought he should do it:-)

Megan and I can make eachother laugh and we did. My sister happen to catch it:-) Love ya!

I love my friends and how they are more like family to me...they love me and my family and my family loves them right back! I love that we have so much fun together.

So Sunday rolls around and I went back to South Lake with Necia and Josh. It was funny because it was on parenting! I thought it was a sign they should have a baby...they didn't think so:-/ Oh well it was good:) I really like it and maybe feel like it could be a good home...Next week I'm going to try a new one in Lake Oswego with a new friend. So we'll see how that goes.
Later Necia and I went to a Portland Timers game...way fun but way hot!!! (don't worry I'm NOT complaining!!!) So many people came out, I hope to go to more!

This is one of my "I don't care smiles" But I really do, I just couldn't see and my back was burning off from the melting plastic;-)

So I thought I would update and show that I am starting to get a life...kinda... does it count when your friends come up? I think so! But I'm still loving it and learning lots at my job and how to get around up here.

PS Keep my brother in your prayers! He is coming home soooo soon! Pray for safe and easy travels!
