Well, many many people told me that it rains in oregon and well. . . they were right.
top five panic moments of the last three weeks:
5. brielle realizing that during our first 3 minutes of driving in portland we managed to be flipped off twice
4. putting the 27 part faucet (for the amazing claw foot tub that steven bought for our bathroom) together for the 4th time to find that it leaks in 5 places; a.k.a. one more place than after the 3rd time i put it together
3. "yeah, you are not going to be able to have a reception at the church any more. sorry about that"
2. 20 miles to the next gas station and potentially enough gas for only 3 miles
1. the said gas station, when we miraculously made it, said "testical festival" in large letters on the sign, with a picture of a bull with his back legs crossed and a scared look on his face
top five celebratory moments of the last three weeks:
5. finding a group of people to play settlers of catan with within one day of being in eugene.
4. buying a table and chairs at pier 1 for 55% of the cost after some steven inspired bartering
3. playing multi-player halo for a while and realizing that i have not lost all of my charm
2. getting a phone call from a favored employee in grinnell to tell me that the theatre burned down during the first 3 minutes of my absence. "It was like the forth of july!!"
1. turning my new shower on after steven removed the flow restrictor and being thrown backward onto my rear.
more to come. there is much going on over here. i will try to get writing again.

only is spirit my young friend. only in spirit.
Oh, the joys of cheap, high-pressure shower heads. Our landlord put one in our apartment. You don't even have to use a loofah- it peels your skin right off for you.
I heard it's unusually rainy in Oregon right now. My parents in Roseburg have a bunch of standing water under their house, so they dug huge trenches through their front yard to the street for drainage. Sweet. Hang in there!
Maybe this is the beer talkin', Matt, but you've got a butt that won't quit.
I obviously have to eschew all of the ordinary methods of participating in your wedding. But if you were to think that I have not been thinking about you and Brielle every day for at least a week now and that I do not feel a deep sense of loss about missing your wedding, you would in that case be incorrect.
