Second Chapter

              Life in Oregon

That was where I lived for the first five years of my life.  It was so fun to always see my grandparents on my mom’s side of the family cause we would constantly make many visits for the first year after I was released from the hospital.  We soon moved to a three bedroom fixer upper house just outside of Portland Oregon.  So, my dad said that it would be no problem for all of us as a family to fix up that house because of his prior construction experiences that he did with his dad and his brother.  I remember it also being really cool to have my mom’s cousin and here only son live with us for at least 4-6 years prior to here getting married over Mcminvile Oregon in the summer of 1997.  I remember having many great times with my grandparents on my dad’s side of the family.  They are so nice.  One is that they always took time to help me with hard things that I would want to learn how to do myself.  When I was three years old I learned how to read and write.  So, my brother and I meat some really great friends from  our local eye doctor.  We had a lot of fun times while playing at their house.  I even enjoyed going to Sunday school at church every week cause it was amazing to here new features about Jesus.  Next, it was fun to always go to the park with my cousins.  I would enjoy playing with my cousins at their house, because there was this huge basement where we play video games, just mess around, and have awesome slumber parties on the weekend occasionally.  Also, there would be times when they would come visit us at our house too.  We all enjoyed being together every time we could even though between all of us relatives on my dad’s side of the family were at least a one hour drive apart from another if not longer depending on what part of Oregon they lived in.

     There are many features that I remember from the many visits that I enjoyed having with my dad’s parents and many of his other relatives in Corvallis Oregon.  One is that will never forget the many amazing morning meals that he would always make wich would include his famous hot cakes and super duper eggs.  I also won’t forget the famous mail box that was always full of goodies for all of us grandkids every time we went to visit them.  Next, we all would take turns driving the lawn tractor around the yard.  When we were younger we just barely run over the lawn.  Then once we got a little older we would actually be able to cut all the grass.  So by the time you would drive all the way around the loop it would probably be a quarter of a mile almost.  Him and I would play basket ball games occasionally.  I also enjoyed going to their Church where he served as the associate pastor while I was a child even though he was a senior pastor before I was born for some time.  I do miss the beauty of green trees; but I really don’t miss having constant rainstorm after another.  So these are the many fun times that I experienced while living in Oregon.
