Conference in Eugene

Ok, so the name of this entry is Conference in Eugene and the first picture is one of the banners. If you want more information, click here and follow the link to learn more. The name of the entry is just so I remember the time this took place. The rest has nothing to do with the conference itself but about the time that Ben and I shared when I wasn't in class! This was a beautiful barn that we past along I-5. The weather was pretty and the scenery even better. There was just the slightest amount of snow on the mountain tops and the grass became greener as we moved more and more into farm country.

There were sheep everywhere and adorable baby lambs. I know that lambs are baby sheep but saying "baby lambs" makes them even cuter. They are just so cuddly. How could anyone want to eat them? We're at the hotel and it didn't take Ben long to relax and unwind. We have both been working way too much and it was so nice to be away from the day-to-day grind even if I had to go to class all day! Too soon, the conference was over and we headed back home. We stopped in Albany for lunch and laughed about the fact that Ben had come all the way from Albany, Louisiana to have lunch in Albany, Oregon!

Before getting back on the freeway, we saw this sign and I had to take a picture. I was pretty sure that we were actually in Louisiana because I just am having such a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that there really are rednecks in Oregon. I realize that Ben has shown them to me numerous times but I can't believe... there in giant letters for all the rednecks to see... Denny's Sports Lounge! No seriously!

This water tower was cool to me!

What trip down I-5 is complete without a side trip to Lakeshore? I love that store and I can spend lots of money and someone else will pay the bill. How great is that?!

We made a side trip to Albertson to pick up some milk and look what we saw. We were so lucky...first we saw baby lambs and then we saw a cute panda!

Look how cute he was when he waved at me!

Changing subjects quickly, this is a bridge we go under on the way to church. It's very cool and all of a sudden, we saw...

Max coming! Hurry and take a picture... that's so cool!

Hold on, subject change again...maybe I should be tested for ADD, oh wait, there's a squirrel... Well not really a squirrel...just wanted to show you this cute little car. I love the Soul but I would never drive one because they are ugly. But they are so cute when hamsters drive them! Don't you agree?
