Portland trip day 1

We we made it to Portland safe and sound. It was an uneventful drive (thank God). We didn't have to play so we got to play. This is very very different than soccer trips. Much more relaxed. We stopped in Pendleton for lunch and we were given are Assassin assignments. They play this game "Aassassin". Basically the object of the game is to be the final assassin. You draw a name and your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to kill your target without any one witnessing it. There are rules about safe zone, such as the restroom or shower, restaurants, any building that has a gym. We have dollar store toy dart guns. If you are killed then you give your assassin your target. I drew Brydges. Now... the problem with Brydges is she is NEVER without Ramirez. Unfortunately she had me and was able to kill me before I got her. She had more experience at this game than I did. I want to play again, since I'm much smarter. At the time I'm writing this, Tori is still alive. I'll let you know how it goes.

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner and it was Georgia's 16th birthday yesterday. Coach picked up a cake and some toys from the store. She gave them to each of the rooms and told the girls to be creative and put together a present for Georgia. They presented them to her at dinner. I was impressed with how creative they were. It was alot of fun. These girls are very entertaining. Georgia was a great sport. I'll bet she never forgets this birthday.

After dinner we went bowling. For being multi-athlete girls they are very poor bowlers. It was encredible funny with them trying to bowl and keep from being assassined. I took a few pictures before we got in trouble for using flashes. The pictures I took without the flash weren't very good. Wellllllllll, it's not letting upload the pictures today, so I'll post them later(probably the wireless at the hotel). We have a game today at 2:15 and 8:40 today. Check in later for more updates on our trip.

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let's not

Four years ago, we bought Dana a snow blower for Christmas.  He never took it out of the box.  Claimed that it would be too noisy for the neighbors at the time of the morning that he like to shovel, which is usually around 6:00am.  I could never figure out if he really did like to shovel the snow or if he just wasn't sure about putting it together.  I really should have had Home Depot do that for us. In the fall, he decide to unpack it and see about putting it together.  He claimed that you need to have an engineering degree to put it together.  Well the heavy snow came and in the mist of both of us shoveling and not getting any where.  Paul, our neighbor, was out working on his driveway, so Dana told him if he helped him carry upstairs and got it going he could use it.  He was all for it.  They carried it up and by the time Dana got back from getting gasoline, Paul had it running. Need I say Dana feel in love with the snow blower.  Did several of the neighbors driveways
