Finally!

Thanks to my wife's friend Kim and my new boss Randy (who makes us take our allotted vacation days) and my friends Michael and Katie...

...I'm spending a few days in PORTLAND!

Tomorrow, I'm off to the Pacific Northwest and I couldn't be more stoked. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing but I intend to go to a youth ministry class at Multnomah with Meredith, and visiting a huge bookstore there, and I know I'll be going to the Alpert's church (I really enjoy getting to visit other churches--occupational fun, I guess)...and maybe just having some down time.

This looks VERY promising.
