Well crap, I am a very terrible blogger.
But thats ok, because I am pretty much great at everything else.


So whats new with me...
Work has been great. I am currently on day 5 of my 11 day work week. But I can't complain. Really. Its just a bunch of fun with a bunch of great people. I work nights usually 5pm-midnightish. Lately, we've been going out drinking afterwards. So I havent been getting home until 3am or so. I dont sleep much anymore, but thats ok because I drink about 7 shots of espresso and 3 cups of coffee a day. I am kidding.....I only drink 5 shots. Someone's going to have a heartattack at the age of 25?!?! Tomorrow is movie night at the Goat, they show independant artsy films at night. Most of the time, they're pretty crazy. My co-worker Jordan and I decided we were going to watch our own movie on him laptop in the back. The Neverending Story. Hell yeah. So excited for that!

Last weekend was spent at Camp. Seeing all my favorite people I havent seen or talked to in like a year. We did the high ropes course training, so I spent 2 days up in the trees with ropes and crazythings like that. How much do I love camp, too much. Its crazy, camp is home. Actually, pretty soon it will be home. Laura got the associate director position and now I am going to move in with her in January. Free rent baby! I actually get to make money and keep it now. Plus, I live right at the bottom of Mt. Hood. 30 minutes away from P-town. I have a river running through my back yard. And 132 acres of forest to play in.

I've been in contact with Aaron via email. We write a couple times a week, he's absolutely great in Japan. I can just tell that the past couple weeks he has grown so much. I got this email from him that just melted my heart.
He said: (I bolded the good parts)

"so, in the time that i spend alone, which is quite often, i do a lot of processing.  a conclusion reached: you have taught me the beauty of forgiveness.  there have been countless situations in which i have done the wrong thing.  i have acted like an asshole to you and just had some down-right awful timing.  i have not been good to you quite often but you never stopped our friendship.  you seemingly forgave me for being an asshole and because of that, we have the friendship that we do, which i adore.  that fact has shown me quite a bit about reacting to my emotions and seeing situations from multiple sides.  most importantly, it has shown me just how important it is to forgive someone, especially when you can see through the situation at hand.  there are times one needs to forgive and move-on completely; there are the other situations when you forgive and continue growing.  those are the relationships, i think, where one learns the most.  you learn how to accept a situation and see that whether or not you're with the person romantically, you see their greatness and you love and care for them.  and that's enough to float you on.  you don't need to hold and pin that person simply because you see their beauty; you need to appreciate it and just let it be.  you see, you have taught me.  think about that the next time you feel shitty about yourself."

He is so great, I cannot express to you the care I have for this boy. There are few people, in my life especially, who make an impact so great as he. Oh and I have this picture he sent from the website of the school he teaches at. 


I'm so proud of him.

Well ok I am tired and I have a long day tomorrow. So night night cyber world. 
Love, Jess
