Hiking the Oregon Coast Trail

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to hike along the Oregon Coast Trail with Erika and we (obviously) took lots of photos and video. I finally got around to putting it together into this little video.

It's that time of year when the blooms start to come out again. Please go and thank your local flowers, leaves, buds and blooms for bringing that spring feeling back.

I am coming to the end of my Peruvian photos. This is strange because this blog has only been centered around that part of my life for so long that I am not quite ready to let go of it and allow US photos to begin to fill its space, but I also have lots of new thoughts and experiences to begin to share through text and more photographs.

So first, I want to thank my readers. I have been so blessed to have people who were committed to reading my random thoughts and trying to live a little bit of my life. Thank you to those who made my experience a reality and a great season of my life. And thank you to those who continue to shape my life. You have helped this to happen and will continue into the future.

I do need to note that this will not be my final, last, never again Peruvian photograph, but I'm going to begin to try new things. I started a new job yesterday (customer service at Big Fish Games) and so it is time to really dive into this new season. So thanks to everyone and keep reading and viewing the photographs that are changing my life, no matter where I am.

Jobs

Well, I have been back for a little over a month now and life is looking toward settling.  I will move into my new house in Ballard next week.  It is a great house with an awesome view.  I will be living with 5 other guys with the aimed goal at intentional community.  We will see what that works itself into meaning, but I am really excited.  Also it has a hot tub.

There is this thing in life where you generally have to have money to buy food and thus survive.  Therefore I am in the job market.  So, if there are any readers out there who know of job opportunities, please do not hesitate to let me know.  I would love to keep speaking Spanish or to work with a NGO, but I am realistic in that the market in Seattle is difficult.  Therefore, please, if you know of anything, let me know.  I love you all.
