Boats
So I made it on my ferry to Juneau. It was quite exciting and I barely made it in time to get Tigerlily Battleaxe on. I was the last person to check in before they closed it down. So now I'm on the boat and I met some sweet people. I have found that since I stopped writing everything down in this blog it has been harder for me to tell stories when I've been on the road. People ask me to tell stories about my trip and it is hard because it is like trying to describe a feeling. I love everything about my journey all the people I have met, everything I have learned, and all of the fun I have had. Now however I can't wait to get home and see everyone and be able to go back to work. It is going to be weird to have to stay in one place for awhile anyways and that feeling should at least entertain me. One of the people I met on the ferry is moving to the Riv and she is a bomb musician so she will be hanging out with the crew hopefully when we get back. So everyone I will see you Thursday or Friday night (at my kick ass party). Also who knew that a ferry would have internet. Weird.

Homecoming
So I have begun my final trek on this longish journey of mine. Soon I will be in Portland then in Seattle then in Bellingham and then off north through the chilly Pacific Ocean. Nothing can be better than knowing that all of you are up there and I can't wait to see and hug each and everyone of you. I just need to stock up and books now so that I don't run out of things to do on the boat which I probably will anyways but I imagine that there has to be a bunch of really cool people and I just need to find them. I imagine that most of them will be in the beer garden area. Usally thats how it works and if all else fails I will just make friends with the boat crew and hang out with them.

Bliss
Nothing can really express how cool and awesome that monastery was in Northern California I will never ever be able to say just how thankful I am that John set all of that up for me. It was so nice to be able to be there and the monks were bomb. That is the only word that can completely give a voice to what I feel. I love them and will always remember them and I can't wait to go visit Spruce Island. So now I am back in Monmouth OR after seeing Luke down in Medford OR. He is doing well. I found Pandora radio online and it is cool everyone should go check it out right now.. I will wait... cool huh?
So life is wonderful right now I can now say that I am proud to be an American and to all the unpatriotic fake Americans out there all I can say is if you don't like it you can leave. Ya that's right. Did everyone see what I did there. (It's funny cause that is what all those people have been saying to people who see America as a forum of freedom and see expressing our views as showing how lucky we are to live in a place where you don't disappear because of how you feel about an issue) So that is all I have to say about that.
On the other sides of things life is also great just because it is. I have never felt more in touch with God and never felt more like Alexis in my entire life. So to everyone out there feeling a little sad just send me an email or something and when I get back I will give you an extra special hug. (Warning this special hugs may cause tears and a want to change your life for the better) (oh and also they may make you feel like you will be loved no matter what by at least one person on this planet) Life is just too good right now. I have a bunch of stress and things to deal with when I get back but I look forward to being busy and for the first time in my life I am actually thinking about kicking butt in school just because. So I hope that everyone at least got a little smile out of me being a goofball in this post and I look forward to seeing everyone because I really have missed each and every person in my life at some point on this trip. So know that I love you all each for all of the strengths you have and for the weaknesses too. I hope that you all love me for all of mine too. Love as God does, Live as Christ wills, Free the Holy Spirit inside you.
