It's so hard to choose to stay inside and write a blog post on a sunny day, which is why I am writing to Internet-land on a relatively chilly, sunny-ish morning.
So as a recap to leading up to Lopez: Most of my time in the beginning of 2015 was spent helping my friend build a small strawbale home, doing Jiu Jitsu, weight training, plastering here and there, making new friends, and hosting my parents. 2015 has been great!
One day in early 2015 I suggested to Jess that she come with me to Lopez this summer. She could work at the local bike shoppe and I could work doing tree work and building up to being an arborist. So that became the goal for the summer. It turned out that Jess got the job at the bike shoppe here on Lopez (
VillageCycles) and I got the tree work job with a guy named Zack (
Flower Mtn. Tree Services). So now we've been here for about 1 month and a half and all is WELL. We brought Tasha Kitty with us. Its been a wonderful cat-cation for her.
Jess and I have been biking, going to beaches, potlucking, reading, and doing sudoku.We've also been working on the house on a trailer and I've been replacing a rotted out floor in a cabin on the property we live on.

It's been great being here with Jess. Very different! I'm usually all alone here and more or less lonely. It's fine. It's never ruined my time here, but I prefer to be around people and good friends. I feel like growing up as an only child I had so much alone time and I'm really fine with hanging out with myself, but I get my energy from being around others, laughing, bouncing ideas, pondering, I'm an ENTP (Extrovert-Intuitive-Thinking-Perceiving-->Meyer's Briggs Personality Type) through and through.
Here is the rest of the experience expressed in photos:
