reflecting on the past...

As you can see from my last post, I went to Oregon for a week. I took Asher with me and we spent time with my college roommate. I saw several friends from my college years and Chris and I did a lot of reflecting on our college days....we chatted about our old core group of friends...who is married and who has kids, who's doing what...that sort of thing. We had great laughs about the guys we dated and the rules we broke as best friends (won't go any further than that!).....it was so fun reflecting on how much we've changed and how a few things are the same....

here are a few more pics to help sum up our time in Portland and Salem...

So that's that.....speaking of reflecting on things....exactly 11 years ago today I accepted Christ as my personal Savior and never looked back on the life I was living....praise God for that! I was on a path chalked FULL of destruction and God intervened and my life was changed drastically for the good (not to say it's been all peachy and roses or anything!)... God is so gracious!
