Last time we left off, we were up in the Santa Cruz mountains at camp Lehi, getting lips punctured, 25 foot flames and dropping off logs that weighed 500 pounds plus. We were sore Sunday and tried to catch up on that trip while preparing for this weekend's trip.
It was Rebecca's birthday, but thanks to my graduate studies, I only actually saw her for a few hours on her birthday. So, we celebrated mostly on Tuesday by going to a mediocre (not our fault!) mexican restaurant and then on Wednesday, Rebecca celebrated alone with a pizza while I was at a lecture. Rebecca got a lot of ecards, phone calls and birthday wishes and she was happy for that [thanks for all the cards and birthday wishes! -beck].
And by the time that was over, it was already Thursday night and we got things cleaned for our trip Friday morning. We woke up early Friday to pack and load up the car and hit the road after morning traffic had dissipated. 10 hours later, we pulled into Florence and had a mediocre seafood dinner at Moe's.
Most of the weekend was rainy. Oregon rain is refreshing, cold and beautiful, especially as the clouds roll off the ocean and brush through the forests. Most of our Saturday was spent lazily playing with Jon and Faith: I couldn't ask for a more relaxing weekend (minus the 20 hours driving). We played lots of rounds of Munchkin Fu and watched a few movies. Because of the rain we didn't get out to the beach until Sunday after church, and because we just didn't want to leave, we made it home at one in the morning last night. Of course, Star cat refused to let us sleep because she was so happy to have us home. But we're safe, home, and now we need to get back into the regular swing of things until the end of the semester.
