I heart Oregon

Did I mention that yet?  I did?  Are you sure?

Okay...well that is very much the case.  I have never been a California girl.  When I was a wee one, I had family that lived in Washington, and decided at a very young age that I was going to live in Washington.  When it was time to go away to college, I was convinced that I was going to go to school in Seattle.  I got accepted to my top choice...and then sadly, it turned out that I could not afford to attend that college.  I ended up staying in California for University (I like to pretend I'm British sometimes).  I studied abroad my sophomore year in Salzburg, Austria...at which point I fell in love it Europe and put on my Life- To Do List, that it would be fantastic to live in Europe at some point...or at least have a summer home!  Maybe be a teacher and travel their every summer? 

At the end of my junior year of college, I moved to Portland, OR for a summer...and then fell in love with Oregon.  Yup, it seems that my longest lasting love affair has been with the Pacific Northwest.  I've tried to move their a couple times, and it seems that the universe doesn't have that in my immediate plans....I'm still holding my breath though. 

For now...I visit a couple times a year, and wear my new favorite, adorable, fantastical necklace.

I hope you have something that you hold on to that makes you smile.  :)
