Just Another Day

I moved to Phoenix from Portland 2 years ago, just because I could.  I feel like I will eventually end up back in Portland, but this is working for now. 

After I moved here, I began volunteering quarterly at St. Mary's Food Bank.  Last night my friends John, Megan, Ashlynn, Justin and I got to the food bank at 6pm and by 7:40pm, with the help of other volunteers, we had put together over 1200 food boxes for families here in Arizona.  We had a good time and helped out at the same time. 

Afterward, John and I headed to BWW to visit with our favorite bartender Sara, and met up with our friend Amanda as well.  We had a beer or two, watched the remainder of the Kings game on the big screen, and had some incredible laughs. 

On paper it sounds like a rather plain day with very little excitement, but there is nothing bad about a day when you are in service to the community you belong to, and enjoying those people you love the most.
