Amy's Baby Shower.

Linda and I packed up Lulu and the Pootie-pie on Saturday morning and headed down to Portland for Amy and David's baby shower. We got down to Portland in time for the ladies to head off to makeup appointment while David and I got down to the serioius business of analyzing the differences in the New Guy and the New Guy (Director's cut).

The party was, of course, fabulous.

I hold Amy in very high esteem because for 5 years now she has been checking up on me at the website. In 5 days I will have been posting drivel to sneakyfreak.com... sometimes daily sometimes weekly. through this little log i can go back and see 3 different jobs, the courting of the love of my life, and snippets of memories and dreams. daamn. Besides my family, I think Amy is one of the only people who actually look at this thing. HA. SMOOCH!

Linda and I also had a great breakfast with Scott, Michelle and Fiona. They have promised to come up sailing with us on Indian Summer in the new year. Yay. Going back to Portland is bittersweet for Linda (especially) and me. We had such an amazing time there when we were courting and Linda always figured that was where she was going to end up, until I hauled her up to Seattle.

Great trip, too short. Portland should really be taken in at least 2 night doses we have decided.
