KC had a last minute job in Portland, OR last Monday, so with a free car and free gas we decided to tag along. I had wanted to see Portland for such a long time, and it didn't disappoint. So gorgeous. The vintage shopping was amazing and next time I plan on taking a little more time to find more gems. We went to the zoo, the rose garden, and the ate some good food. KC had one wish, and that was to go to Rogue. He tried about 7 different beers (testers of course, I mean we are in our 30's now hehe). It was a great 2 days and can't wait to make another trip when we can plan a little more in advance. This is our first fall season here in the PNW and we are loving it. I still am in awe of the leaves here. The size, the color is just so gorgeous!
Sorry I'm a little behind on posting on this little space. My mind and priorities have been on other things. It's no surprise that one of my biggest things I struggle with is faith. I have struggled with this for many many years, and just can't seem to relax and trust God. I am in need of prayer in this. I find myself wanting things done quickly and in my time instead of God's. It's been hard for me. We are still struggling with finding renters for our AZ home, finding a new home here, and trying to find a way to keep up financially. My job that I was blessed with isn't really providing me with much work at all, and so I am out there looking again. Worried about this area of WA and the lack of jobs has made it hard to keep faith that God will provide. I am trying to focus on my kids, and school. Writing papers every 2 weeks, tests, and keeping up with my readings has given me a little distraction. I also am trying to enjoy this season and remember that I do have a nice home that keeps us warm and provides our family with happiness. I am blessed every day with 2 health kids, well sorta of... cold season is here, and an amazing husband that keeps me grounded and shows me daily how to live with faith that everything will work out.
