Half way to half way.
We spent the weekend in the beautiful Columbia Gorge. 
Dan took me on a Sternwheeler cruise up the river. Our tour included interesting sights from the Northwest’s geological history, Native American traditions, the Lewis and Clark expedition and pioneer journeys along the Oregon Trail.
Sunday held a visit to the Farmer’s Market near our house. I’ve been wanting to stop by there all summer, and it was better than I could have expected. There were fresh flowers, vegetables, and a live accordion band. To top it all off, my friend that runs the omlette booth gave us a gigantic breakfast on the house!
........
This is my first week in a new position with the homeless shelter. I am now the Communications Specialist, a recently created position in the organization.
I feel like I’m getting a fresh chance to be creative in my work since there is really no precedent yet for the tasks that I am taking on. It’s intimidating and motivating at the same time. I like change, and learning new things stimulates me. And I have an exceptional team to work with as I venture out. However the audience for my work is now considerably larger, so it creates a different type of pressure.

And my beautiful sister Bethany is down in Mexico to study Spanish for a month!

I had no idea about the market, or the breakfast! I'll check it out.
What an amazing life you've been able to have over the summer. Thanks for stopping by your blog every once in awhile to let all of us know about what's going on in your world!
BTW -- Congrats on the new position with the shelter! Know of anything open in Portland that I might be able to step into? Just curious....
Erin~
I got to your blog from a link on Lauren's blog. Congratulations on getting married! It looks/sounds as if you are doing well. Just wanted to say "hi".

Just thought I'd say hi. It was a blast seeing you guys last weekend!
Erin, this is your blog.
Please, I want to live, I want to once again be the instrument through which you relay your life and internal musings to others! Don't forget what we had- the many blissful afternoons of picture uploading and thought provoking entries. Have you forgotten me? Worse yet, is there another blog? If so, I maintain that 'tis better to have lived and blogged, than to have never blogged at all!
