I have just been invited to a wedding as the "video taping lady!" and I'm getting paid too for the first time. I'm very excited! The wedding is may 12th on a Sat.

The best part is that it's going to be at the "Christian Renewal Center" one of my favorite places to go that I haven't been to in years! It's wonderful! It's in Silverton Or.

My friend Maggie is the bride and she's going to take me up there with her the day before the wedding and I get to spend the night in a cabin or the lodge with her and hang out and do fun stuff!

Maggie has all these Ideas of cool things we are going to do. One of them is going to a hair salon with some of her friends and she told me I could come too, so hey, why not? I could use a hairdo for a special occasion. I'll also be bringing my digital camera so I can take some gorgious shots of the CRC and fun photos to share later with you and some other shoutlife friends.

I'll also get to hang out and explore around the CRC after the wedding. I'm trying to get my Mom to come up there that day to and just have a CRC day and visit with old friends. It is going to be cool! I still can't believe that I'm actually going! I was just praying a couple nights ago to God that he would let me go to the CRC this year because to make a long story short, I hadn't been in a long time and I miss the place! I was going to go last year but I never got to so this is an answer to prayer in an amazing way. I also prayed that I could go with someone other than family because I hadn't done that in a long time either and I really need to take a trip somewhere and get out of the house. Now you know why I'm awestruck . Isn't this wonderful?

I'll definitly be posting up photos of this trip.
The CRC is an gorgeous place in a forest. It's got cool bridges, forts, lodges and cabins, a camp fire spot, out door game places, a little chapel and a big chapel. That's where Maggie's wedding will be, there is also a kid's playground, two high tree rope swings and a cable swing etc etc etc....
Fun and good memories to bring back. I can't wait!

I also just found out a few days ago that I'm going to go to Oceanside beach and staying at a cabin we love called "The Okamotos Cabin!"
I'm going the weekend after the CRC weekend, so I get to have TWO vacations back to back!

Isn't that amazing?! I am so excited!

God is just filling my life with blessings right now and I am so grateful!

The Cabin we're staying at is called "the Okamotos Cabin" it's owned by an old friend of my parents who goes way back before I was even born. That's how long we've been coming to this cabin on and off for vacations, special trips etc. Anyway I'll also have pictures of that trip to post up here also so all my shoutlife friends can see them. =)

I hope everyone Has a great day in the Lord,

God bless you all,
Your Friend,
-Esther

P.s. Here's a photo from "The Octopus tree forest" this is right up from the Oceanside beach. There's is tree in this forest that is a famous tree with about nine trunks growing out of it called "the Octopus tree" it's really something you'd find from another world.
I'll have a full shot of it to show all of you when I return from my trip. Enjoy the photos. =)
