The Great Send Off



Chris and I spent all of April packing and moving our belongings into a storage unit. Thank the universe for those great lutefisk and lingenberry-eaters in Ballard with their inexpensive facilities. Here's us the night before we left Seattle for Oregon, drinking some amazing champagne from some very lovely people (thanks to the Benton-Bozzo fam and the Fresenius crew). Guess what, guys? You've opened our tastebuds because neither of us really liked champagne all that much until we had that particular sweet, sweet nectar. It was especially delicious out of our classy martini glasses from Walgreens.

Appropriate photo, too, because if you haven't heard, Chris and I are going to get hitched. He popped the question while we were at his 3rd cousin's ranch in Eastern Oregon. We were out there for about a week, taking care of livestock, digging ditches, and laying down irrigation pipes. So, anyways, champagne for all! But first, all of you must take a trip to Walgreens to the "seasonal specials" aisle near the picnic supplies and get your own classy glasses.

We just found out our flight to Guatemala got bumped a day, so now we leave the country on May 27th. That's in about a week --we're gettin' down to the wire!



Yee-haw at the ranch!



Sunshine and daisies and fluffy bunnies...
