Coast

Some days you just want to go somewhere far enough away to get out of all the drama. When you have a few hours in the early morning to work, and a couple friends have the day off, it's easy to plan a quick trip. Savannah, Drew and I went to the Oregon Coast in April and we had a blast :)

I love to explore and take pictures, and on a sunny Sunday afternoon, it's easy to get carried away...

Excited about my new archaeology book


I love my close-ups

The day couldn't have been better, and I can't wait until we get to go again...Crater Lake soon??

The Day of Relay



Relay For Life was a huge success. The event raised well over their goal by some $25,000 - $30,000 and counting! Our team had an absolute blast dressing up and hanging out while everything went on, and we are planning for next year as you read :)

80s theme lap
Now, while there were many fun themed laps (each person that walked during that lap took quite a leap in dressing up for it...) everyone was looking forward to the Electric Light Parade lap. When it started to get dark, the energy levels went up...

Like I mentioned above, we are very excited for next year and have already started planning fundraisers and events to bring in more people for Relay. We will find out next years theme in September, so we will begin the crazy rush of raising money when that time comes. The group of people who went were very fun and supportive, and I couldn't have asked for better people to spend this emotional day with <3
