Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Moving...the Shakespeare of it all...

So, we finally found a new place to live. Yay! This comes after having spent two whole days driving around Tigard/Tualatin/Sherwood/Parts of Lake Oswego, familiarizing ourselves with map folding techniques, arguing about which Boones Ferry Road is which, throwing up our hands in protest of ancient baseboard heating and the like.

The real treat of it was getting nice and cozy with our Thomas Guide. I managed to find a "Shakespearean" named street near the majority of places where we stopped of to look. Some examples:

1. House on Hamlet Drive...
2. Apartment complex near Tempest drive....
3. Apartment complex near Shakepeare drive....

Odd? Possibly. Funny? You bet. We had a good laugh as we realized we'd been driving by the same places and used them as landmarks. We'll be getting settled in tomorrow and this weekend. I'm still holding out that we'll be able to sneak off to the beach and enjoy one day of the long weekend. You never know!

Happy Labor Day! ~ Jewels

I think that there is no way I would ever be involved with planning another wedding, but if you need some interior decorating, I think that'd be a good enough excuse to come to Oregon, don't you think?
