Well Thanksgiving is slowly creeping on me and I am spending today preparing for my Oregon Thanksgiving Trip. As the plans are right now I will be in Coos Bay, OR for Thanksgiving and will leave Coos Bay, OR on Thursday evening and head to Dallas, OR where I will stay until around Tuesday (27th of November).
From there I will most likely go and visit my Mother for the day and do some shopping and at which point I will begin a trek down the state of Oregon. Several of my blog readers have already offered me places to stay at their respective houses in various localities in Oregon. If I need to stay anywhere I will only stay through the night and leave out early in the morning and this would only be to avoid weather otherwise I will tough it out and push straight through the trek.
Upon my return to California there will be a "Welcome Back" celebration that my family and friends are arranging and I think that will be nice.
Lately, I am puzzled how women can say they are with you but in other mediums they describe themselves as "Single" and this has put me on caution status and if I were to purely accept the advice of my friends it would be to end said relationship but I have decided against that because I feel something there, Although on the other hand if their continues to be confusion on the other persons part perhaps I should accept said description of that persons availability as a sign as to how the person really feels especially since it takes under a minute to change said setting.
In any case if "all" goes well and accordingly then I will be looking at some property, employment and services in the Salem, OR area for a transition to to leave there in February. If all does not go well then I will most likely live in Portland or consider another Metropolitan area that suits all of my needs and wants.
The other night two of my friends one a man and the other a woman both said that there has to be honest, loyalty, trust and fairness if a relationship is to succeed and I fully agree with this shared opinion. I think that in a relationship if you cannot tell your significant other your true feelings that ultimately that relationship will suffer or fail.
One other discussion I had this week in a study group was how women are generally unable to properly express their feelings or at least this is the wide belief of a large majority of men. Some women contend that women do not have trouble expressing their feelings but instead it is little girls who have not matured and grown up who have this difficulty.
Anyways below is a map of my route for my trek including planned stops in order to see it in a large format simply click on the thumbnail.

I wrote this really long comment on your blog, but I wasn't registered on here yet, so I lost it...OOPS! :)
Basically, what I said in so many words, was this...
I think that you both love each other very much. I see it in your eyes in all of those awesome pics of you two. If she changed her status to single...I don't think it is because she is open to dating other guys. I think that maybe she is guarding her heart for fear of it being broken. Maybe she wants you to request of her that she change it back. Maybe she is seeking reassurance that your love for her is unfaltering. (I kind of read her blog...recently, about you...and your response to it... I was happy to see that you two had worked it all out. I wonder though if maybe she is still experiencing some issues of trust. Maybe she really wants to believe that you want her and only her, but part of her is still afraid of being hurt. A long time ago, I was in a relationship where I got hurt very badly and I still have issues with trust sometimes... I think it's just human nature to want to protect ourselves from being hurt. So, anyway...my point is that it may not be anything regarding her really wanting to be single... It could just mean that she needs a little more reassurance from you that what you have together will not falter and will not fail.)
BTW, you are an excellent writer and very intelligent. Have you ever thought of writing a book? I wish you good luck with this...I think that maybe you should bring up the subject again and talk to her some more. Tell her that it is hurting you to see that her status is not -in a relationship- and that you want more than anything for it to be. :)
There is so much love there, between you two... Don't let her get away! :)
