Ew, ew, ew, ew.
Last night we went to dinner to celebrate my parent's anniversary. We went to a German restaurant, located in the, get this, HOLLYWOOD DISTRICT o
f Portland. It turned out to be much cleaner than California's Hollywood at any rate.
The food at Rheinlander was good. I think its a fitting place for my family to eat, because that is the region/area my Dad's ancestors are from (if you care to look back that far [c. 1585]). The food, especially the fondue, were delish.
The night before that, or possibly two nights, I got to meet Liz's latest boyfriend. He was nice, and they look cute together. I wish them the best of luck in their couplehood.
Not much else to report. We are sending Ben off to Stanford on the sixth of September. The same day that I leave for Edinburgh. He is so grown up now! And building a life for himself...
...Kind of like how he built these rocks.
Oh, and last week we all said goodbye to Marisa, but not before we had some sexy time in the car.
I love my ladies so much. It is hard to say goodbye! Katie is off to Eugene (aka weed capitol
of Oregon) tomorrow to start her junior year at the University of Oregon. Liz
is the same, but at the end of next week. Marisa is already back at BYU, Leilani is still goofing around in Uganda, where she has been for the last FOREVER, and Jenny is busy with her kick-butt job at St. Vincent's Hospital. Kristin is back at the San Francisco Art Institute and has a new apartment (to herself, lucky girl). For her twentieth I took her to an old tea room in Portland called the Tao of Tea.
Oh, and my last day of work is on Monday. I will be said to say goodbye. I've made so many good friends this summer. Weare actually going to have a little get together at Applebee's tonight (yay!).
There is joyous news among all of this: I AM GOING TO EUGENE WITH ADRIENNE NEXT WEEK!!!!! We go Tuesday till Friday, and I am so excited/happy/EXCITED. I get to see American college life (somewhat). I know this sounds nerdy, because I AM American, but I am really curious about American schools....
Which leads me back to the fact that I have to clean my room, so that I can pack before I go to Eugene. Eff.
