I can say that I am now settled into the new (well actually very old) house in Scappoose and I love it here. One of the biggest blessings of living in a small town again is the ability to go for beautiful runs. I have been training for Hood to Coast for about 5 months now. On my birthday, I ran 8 miles. Never in my life did I ever think I would want to run that far but it was amazing. Every time I run I feel so close to God. I don't know if it is because I am out in His beautiful creations or if I just have a lot of time to think. Probably a combination of both. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed how incredibly beautiful of a day it was, so I stopped and snapped this picture...a true testament to how creative God is.
