We're Engaged!

I'm late in shouting out on my blog my news! You may have heard already, you may have seen my Facebook post, or heard me shout out to the universe - I'm engaged! Yes... five days after we celebrated our six year mark he completely surprised me.

He walked through the door late on a Tuesday evening around 7PM. I was still working and getting ready to get up the next morning at 4AM to catch a 6AM flight. Here he comes with a big bouquet of flowers in his arms. I graciously thanked him, and as he handed the bouquet over to me he said "I got you something else." and dropped to one knee. I cried, he cried, we both cried. He handed me a beautiful ring with a periodot stone. I had no idea any of this was going to happen. Not even a hint in my intuitive sense.

So, let the planning begin....

Just dropping in to say hello. Yesterday my guy and I celebrated six years together. We celebrated by feasting at our favorite sushi restaurant, and attending Cirque du Soleil's Kooza show. I was so excited for him, it was his first time seeing a Cirque show and he really enjoyed all of it. It truly is, as they say, an adrenaline rush of acrobatics in a zany kingdom.

I'm Unravelling once again and hope through the work in the next eight weeks and the work from the last four weeks with Marisa and Sean in Together: Living A Creatively Fulfilling Life will help me flush out how my blog and creative life will evolve.

Thank you for your patience, loyalty and support while I find my way.

As I ponder and wonder how this blog will evolve, or how I will evolve creatively... I've had some moments alone to let my mind sit with a few ideas.

We went to Central Oregon this past weekend. Just a quick trip to say hello to family, see their new home, then turn around and come back to Portland.

Central Oregon is in the heart of many Oregonians. They love their lives, their homeland, and the dry environment in the High Desert. Yes, it is beautiful but a different kind of beauty exists there. Here's my glimpse of the beauty, the land.

My heart is where it's greener. My heart is in Portland. For now.

If you don't live in Oregon. Have you heard of Oregon's High Desert? If so, was this what you had in mind?
