wow

so, we realized that we haven't blogged in forever. that is partly due to our crazy, topsy, turvy life and partly due to laziness. i was going to blog a couple of weeks ago about my joy over the reappearance of the red cups at starbucks. we even made a special trip the day i found out they were back and we rejoiced over the christmas season.

and then i became distracted and never did...

then I was going to blog about the ever-changing details of our life, but i think i might wait until everything settles down a bit before i explain. (let's just say i think i am going through an unexpected job change)



after that i thought about telling everyone about an unexpected but enjoyed conversation with a very old man that i sat next to. we had a lovely visit as he told me all about his life as a missionary in equador and other adventures. i'm usually not too fond of visiting with strangers, but this was so fun. (the man in the huge picture is not the man i talked to, but similar)

and today brandon and i are planning on venturing downtown to see the annual lighting of the huge christmas tree in portland. i am super excited about that. pictures for that will come later...

i hope that helped just a little. sorry for the scattered and random post...but some of you were getting anxious:)
