Life is going very well for me. I've found a great place to live in Eugene, and I'm working at Experience Oregon in Junction City.

Experience Oregon is a family owned charter bus and tour company. I'm a driver and they also use me in Community Relations, helping to market our services.

Today, I'm with the University Of Oregon Basketball team as they take on the OSU Beavers in Corvallis. The Ducks Have been playing well lately, and they would really like to take home a win!

I took a group from the U of O for a day of snow boarding and skiing today. It was a great group and an awesome day at willamette Pass Ski Resort.

Things have been very busy for me lately ... looking for work and looking for a place to live. I've been staying in Salem, but I'm looking for a place to live in Eugene, Oregon.

I found a new job working at a charter bus company in Junction City, Oregon called Experience Oregon. They're a small family owned company, but they have great equipment and I enjoy working for them. Here's one of the buses that I've been driving.


I took this shot with my cell phone while taking the U of O Stunt and Gmynastics Team to a meet in Tacoma, Washington last weekend.

The next big project for me is to find a decent, safe place to live in Eugene. This is turning out to be a much more difficult task than I thought it would be. I've looked at a lot of places and talked to a lot of people. Mostly, I'm getting leads from Craig's List. What I've seen so far is either too expensive or too dirty and smells like a dog lives there. Any I won't settle for any place that smells like smoke!

As soon as I have a new mailing address, I'll let everyone know.

Things have been really busy here in Sisters for me. I've made an important decision ... I'm moving back to Salem in search of a job!

I've given my 30 day notice for my 2 bedroom house, and I'll be looking for a place to rent in Salem.

There are several different jobs listed in Salem, so I don't think it should too difficult to get a job there, although I know that a lot of people are looking for work right now, so there will be lots of competition.

I'm also trying to sell a few things on Craig's List before I move. If I can sell a few of these items, I won't need as large of a moving truck and I can save a little money. Check out these postings on Craig's List:

When I woke up in the morning, there was about 2" of new snow that fell overnight. The street is covered in snow, and it looks very slick! I decided to travel back about 4 miles to the town of Burns to find a place to eat breakfast, then I'll travel slowly back home to Sisters, Oregon.

It's great to be home again!

I made it to Burns, Oregon tonight. It was a long drive, and I'm tired. Stopped at a drive-in restaurant and ordered some Fish and Chips ... an odd meal to have out here in Burns, so far from the ocean!

Just outside of town, I was able to find a nice place to pull off the road and camp in my Ford van for the night. It will be another cold night, I'm affraid!
