she can't complain

i work in a glass box. no, seriously. i feel like a goldfish. although sometimes i forget that people can see in just as well as i can see out. it's like my own private little observation bubble. but i have decided that there are three things that would make my job cooler.

if i could wear anything i wanted (within reason), as opposed to heels and fancy pants

if my job was a mobile job and i could wander around (i am learning to love wandering)

if it was always dark outside, because this is what i would see all the time

and it's just so pretty

those are my thoughts on work.

now here is my sad thought for the day... this thursday my family is starting a five day trip down the lower rogue and i can't go. now, when i say family you have to understand that this means cousins, aunts, uncles, dad, and brother. and this trip is something that everyone in my family EXCEPT FOR ME has done. the closest i ever came was when my mother was six months pregnant with me. this also means that i don't get to see my dad or brother for who knows how much longer.

so here's my happy thought... the feeps are having a celebration this weekend down at my home! we are going to do a wonderful afternoon float down the river (this is nothing compared to the lower rogue) and i will show off my town (which should take about an hour, maybe a tour of all our dutch bros) and we will get to hang out at my magnificent house. this is a big step, for me to call my house magnificent. because it really is but i had a hard time dealing with how nice it was and it all seemed very extravagant. but it has made my parents very happy and they have been hosting so many things that i know it's a total blessing from God. there is no way on this green earth that they would have been able to host two spring serve trips at our old house. ha.

somebody told me today that our water/fire feature at bridgeport is obscene. i thought that was funny.
