One Year in Oregon

I have been in Oregon for a whole year and it has been one very interesting year. 

Good Times:

• PNRFU Playoffs
• Awesome job
• Cousin Jennifer.  It was great to reconnect. 
• Fun times in the Man Cave
• Winery Tours
• Sweet Cheeks Wine Club
• Suds n Suds Beer Club
• Civil War with Ducks
• Totchos
• Latch Hook Robots, Ignorant Sluts and the Angries
• VooDoo Doughnuts 
• El Pres
• Coast, mountains, vineyards.  It’s GORGEOUS here!
• Ultimate Frisbee-Fun game and cool people
• Geriatric Jamborees 
• Country Fairs
• Food Fights

Bad Times:

• Dysentery
• Rehab..thanks MS
• Home sickness
• Rain.  Rain.  More Rain. 
• No Skyline
• I have an accent apparently….

I’m glad to see that the good times outnumbered the bad times.  I believe if I hadn’t spent so much time in a wheelchair, I would have had even MORE pros.  I can’t wait to add more to the pro column this coming year. 

I made some really great friends!  I’m glad that I am a rugger, because no matter where you are, you can find family.  The Eugene Reign is a team of AMAZING women, just like my Dayton ladies.  Although I’m still not moving as well as I’d like (lack of muscle and balance issues) I hope to get back to scrumming.  If I can’t tackle and scrum anymore, I hope to be active on that Ultimate Frisbee team.  Those people are loads of fun too. I just have to remember that there is no tackling.

Too Hot to Hoot

I did Celebrate my anniversary by attending Ultimate Frisbee Friend Rachel's Birthday Food Fight.  I'm still picking mustard out of my ear.
