My Adulties Adult

My Auntie Rhonda So, I want to give a shout out to my Auntie Rhonda. Rhonda is my Uncle's Widow and even after his passing she has always gone above and beyond to try to help me make life easier. That could be a dinner and a conversation, a place to crash for the night, listening to my manic rants or talking me through a bipolar lows, emergency gas, food, clothes, bill, and just because she loves me money. My Auntie is one of my biggest supporters and  amazing cheerleader for anyone she come in contact with. My family and I would not be able to go on some of these adventures without her help and with my bipolar it is such an important piece to myself car And the coolest part is that she does it just because she loves me and wants me to be happy and succeed, and that kind of unconditional love is so hard to find and I just want to through some appreciation out there. Thank you Auntie Rhonda I couldnt do all of this without my Adultiest Adult. I Love You!!

Hook Up Culture

What Does Today’s Hookup Culture Really Look Like? by Wanderer MoonChild In contemporary society, hookup culture is recognized as a social environment that normalizes—and often encourages—casual sexual encounters, one-night stands, and intimacy outside traditional romantic relationships. A hookup generally refers to a short-term sexual interaction between people who are not dating or in a committed partnership. Depending on the individual, and often the generation, “hooking up” can mean anything from kissing to oral sex to intercourse. It is important to distinguish between hooking up (the act itself) and hookup culture (the broader social phenomenon). For some, hookups feel liberating and empowering, offering a way to explore sexuality without attachment. For others, they may feel shallow or even harmful, depending on context, expectations, and consent. Where Did Hookup Culture Come From? While casual sex has always existed, researchers often trace the roots of modern hookup culture ...

Majestic Falls Hiking Trip Lebanon, Oregon, USA

Majestic Falls Hiking Trip Lebanon, Oregon 07/11/2019 Today was a really fun day. Cody had the day off so we decided to take the girls hiking up at Majestic Falls in Lebanon, Oregon. Majestic Falls is the largest of several modest waterfalls along McDowell Creek within McDowell Creek Falls Park. While this was not one of the biggest waterfalls I have had the honor of seeing, Majestic Falls, is the best along McDowell Creek, and is one of the most photogenic waterfalls in the lower South Santiam drainage area. On the edge of the water there is a very a creative staircase and a nice observation deck, the falls drop 39 feet into a murky green pool at the head of a small bowl-shaped canyon and is an amazing thing to witness.  The kids really enjoyed being able to see all of the trees and taking pictures. Everything was so green. It was beautiful.  Totally worth it, getting to watch the kids get excited about nature. They really had a blast! We all had a lot of fun...

Cody and I decided not to tell the kids about my plans and we leave it a surprise. we woke them up with just enough time to get dressed, pack a day go bag and in the car. It was 100% worth it. they were all so excited to get to go out for breakfast and in one of the super, secret, cool kids club.

They created this generous minded group "To promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness o...

Independence Day 2019 in Albany, Oregon So, for Independence Day this year we decided to go to "whatever Park" in albany but after packing all of all of our stuff over to the park we learned that we could not have our 11 (almost 12) year old retired service animal with us at this park on concert days so we ended up going to the park across the river with trish and karl in albany at Bryant Park where Karl life to go larping.  We threw Barbara, choice and cody a birthday party. I was a lot of fun. So this little idea was kinda hard. We thought it would be a fun idea to celebrate all of the birthday parties for the last 6 weeks at the sametime WHILE celebrating the 4th of july.  I was up until 2:30am prepping food, decorating the birthday cake and getting all of the gift and stuff wrapped. My 13 year old told me that it was the best birthday they have ever had (12 out of 10!). So, I regret nothing! While the kids where at the park they made enough friends tha...
