I'm finally here!! After finishing finals on Tuesday, I flew out that evening, and to my surprise there were 3 other classmates of mine on my same flight (to Denver). The flight went really well and after a slight delay due to a closed interstate Robb and I had our glorious reunion. It's so weird actually being with him. I got all nervous all over again for our first kiss. lol! We headed back to his (and chad's) apartment. It's really nice actually. They don't have much furniture or food, but the place is nice and they cleaned just for me!!
Robb usually works unpredictable hours, but he actually got 2 days off in a row, so we took advantage and went camping in the Mountains at Detroit Lake. We borrowed his parents supplies and set up our tent right on the lakeshore. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It got REALLY cold that night, so we eventually gave up and slept in the car, but it really was great overall.
Last night I cooked for the guys and they loved it so much that they took me grocery shopping and told me to buy anything I wanted/needed to cook for them. They are really lacking in skills and supplies for the kitchen, so at least now they have the supplies covered. It was expensive, but I reminded them that they will save so much money in fast food! (Apparently they didn't get it though because I noticed neither of them packed their lunch for today). Oh well!
I'm just here chilling in the apartment today. I don't have a car, but I'm within walking distance of the library, a Catholic church, the grocery store, a park, and most importantly - his parents house. They are so sweet and they work from home, so they said I could call or come over anytime I need something. It has been a great trip so far and it is a really great opportunity to see what living with Robb will actually be like! (I'm not scared... yet!)

Yikes, it's beautiful in Oregon.
It is beautiful there! Well if you do move there some day, at least I would have a reason to visit! (and see Suzanna in Seattle too while I am at it) When do you return to St. Louis?
Enjoy the rest of your visit!
It sounds like you're having a lot of fun! Enjoy the rest or your vacation :)
Your vacation looks great. I think you're about 3.5 hours from me. BUT - I'll be down in Oregon this weekend...I'm not really sure where, but it's in the mountains somewhere. I'm going to visit Erin's parents. I think we might be somewhere near Mt. Hood. If you're still in Oregon this weekend and if there's anyway for us to get together we should! Maria has my cell number if you want it! Glad the weather is nice for you - other times of the year things would be much different out here.
It looks great! Have fun!
