Excerpt
Someone once told me, "If you do not believe in God, go to Oregon and you will soon change your mind." I believe that this is true. I once dreamt of the beauty that the Northwestern United States possesses, and in December of 2004 I saw that beauty, not as a dream but as the next step in my life. I had ideas of what was waiting for me and a dream of starting my career and spending the next several years in Oregon. Unfortunately, only half my dream was realized, but the love for Oregon and all it has to offer will always be with me, like a sweetheart that has gotten away.
