I have been in Portland for the Public Library Association Conference this week. It is the longest that Jon and I have been apart, since we have been married. We had a little practice when he went to his music theory conference in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
I don't like going places without my Jon! Part of me is missing, and I wish we could have shared this experience together. I hope we can visit this great place together one day.
I did have a nice time. Portland is a great place! Lots to do and very different from Louisiana.
I was put in a pre-conference that did not pertain to my current job situation. It is valuable information for maybe the future. It was a little sad that some of my co-workers had two and a half free days before the conference began. They got to have fun and adventures, while three of us were in a pre-conference. It was interesting that those that could have benefited were the ones that had all the free time.
Then I was kept on a very busy schedule once the conference began. I did not have much freedom. I guess that's the price I have to pay for going on the library's dime.
Today the conference came to a close, so I got half a day to explore. I took the Max to the Oregon Zoo. It was an adventure. I am so tired!
