Hello! So, I didn't get to post last week because my computer decided to trick me and pretend not to charge. I didn't use it for a week week and had to take a $40 round trip Uber ride to an Apple store ONLY to find out there is absolutely nothing wrong with my computer... So I have two cities worth of updates for you all! Let's start with Eugene, Oregon: HOLY CRAP. Guys, Oregon is beautiful. I stayed in this cute little guest house that was attached to a larger house where a family lived. It had a lofted bed and a little garden that had grapes and apples growing there. All of this was wonderful, HOWEVER, the first night I was there I felt like I was in a horror film. But actually. See, I arrived a day before my roommates and I was there all by myself the first night. My computer and my phone had basically died on the plane and I needed to recharge them. I tried to plug in my devices and nothing was charging. The cords were not reacting to any sort of power. The internet wasn't great and I had no service on my phone. It got dark really quickly and before I knew it, I was in a strange house in the middle of nowhere with no phone or any means of communication with the outside world. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT FOOLISHNESS, There was a door in the living room that led to another room I think? I am not sure because the door locked from the other side. It was really scary. I started to get into my head and I was like, this is it. This is how I die... I didn't die. I'm fine. Just dramatic. The weather was perfect. It was about 50-60 degrees everyday and my company was delightful (shout out to Aashley and Jimmy). The first day we were in town we rode bikes for 7 1/2 miles to go to a dispensary (yes, weed is 100% legal in Oregon. Another reason to love it so much). The landscape was gorgeous. Our Airbnb host made us scones in the morning and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies at night. It was actually so nice. I had never been to Oregon before and I didn't want to leave. I went to this really cute outdoor festival the last day of the show and they were selling handmade jewelry and edibles on the street (although it was cool, of course I didn't purchase any edibles on the street. That would be ridiculous if me). The audiences could have been better, but that's just one thing that you have to get used to when you are performing for different states on a tour. They are receptive in different ways. It was a gorgeous city. NEXT CITY RENO, NEVADA! We rode on a bus for 8 hours and it sucked. So, I surprised my mom and flew here to Reno so that she could be the first person out of all of my friends and family to see me in the show. She flew in on Monday and she left yesterday. It was a wonderful 5 days with her. It was nice to get to have some familiarity on tour. You get so used to going to new places and adjusting so quickly. It was really nice to have mom around. We got to spend a lot of quality time together and talk about stuff. She's actually my favorite. She loved the show and was so proud. It's just what I needed and I didn't even know it. Reno is an interesting city. There are obviously a lot of casinos and along with that comes a lot of sketchy people. My mom and I went to a place that had Karaoke and I have never seen so many sketched out humans. It was like they were actively trying to look as unapproachable as possible all while being very outgoing about approaching YOU. We did meet some nice people, we got some free food, and some free nights in the hotel. My mom is clearly the reason I know how to work the system so well. I was so happy she got to join me and she got to see the show. It was wonderful. I was sad to see her go, but Thanksgiving will be here before I know it. THIS DIET THING Yes, I am still doing Isogenix. No, I do not like it. It's not easy and I hate it. However, I haven't COMPLETELY fallen off of the wagon but I have wavered a little bit. My mom being in town made it virtually impossible to not eat a meal every time I was hungry. Even though I have not followed this program EXACTLY it has made me do a couple of things:
Phew! This isn't the easiest thing I have ever done. Tomorrow we have another bus ride to Fresno, California and it's only 4 1/2 hours...which is better than 8...but I still don't want to. Fresno is the last week before WES CARMAN COMES BACK INTO MY LIFE AND I AM SO EXCITED I CAN'T FREAKING STAND IT. Love all, yall. * Below are some pics from Reno. Apparently I didn't take any in Eugene.
