so for my birthday present to myself i took the day off and went to the coast- my fav. place so far in oregon. i love love love it!! you hear the waves crashing, feel the wind in your face, and since it is the oregon coast people wear pants over their bathingsuits, no skinny beautiful people to make you feel bad about yourself!! plus its not just pretty white beach, there is a beautiful rocky coastline something like (at least i like to pretend) you would find on the coast of ireland or the uk. you have to drive through the mountains, ravaged hillsides by logging companies (thanks dad) hehehe, sunsets so incredible with the mountains in the backdrop, what more could a girl ask for? a new friend to share it with this time topped it all of:) I am thankful for this new place to fall in love with jesus. his glorious majesty and strength proclaimed in the roaring waves, or his mystery brought to life with the huge hazy clouds rolling across the landscape of the pacific ocean. did i also mention the fun fact about the oregon coast? the movie The Goonies was filmed there and in particular when they go searching for the treasure and end up in some random cave- they are actually in these rocks, called haystacks in Cannon Beach on the coast. they are beautiful and really do look like haystacks! well that is all but i just had to share with you the place that brings so much joy to my heart!! i'll have to post the pictures in a little while- the internet at the coffee shop i'm at, their internet is being weird and not letting me upload the pics...:( you'll just have to check back often;)
