gotta love Portland bumper stickers.. i’ll miss them !

This mornign we all got picked up for our short stay up in Rhododendron.. we had two cars.. three by the time Mya will show up on friday.. and we managed to fill them all 

While we were packign, Max’s freind Casey came by.. man he hasd a story.. one day he had some  vision , speach and balance problems so he went in to get checked.. turned out he had a huge benign brain cyst.. !

miracualously he’s fine now.. still has to speak a little slowly, but even thats goign away.. super nice guy.. glad he’s doign well .. it was great to see him !

as we left the house. we took the oppertunity to get soem family pics in front of gabes house.. 

then we piled in the cars and headed towards moutn hood.. one required stop is Chepes.. our favorate Salvadoran place that is on the way.. excellent Papussa’s !

one more stop on the way.. we’d gotten a permit to gcut down an xmas tree.. $5 for any tree you choose on soem public land…. we had fun picking out just the right one 

then it was only abotu 30 mintues to our airbnb in Rhododendrom .. normally there would be feet of snow this time of year.. but we’re gettign rain.. no matter thoguht .. the place was so comfy and bright.. and so was the hot tub.
We spent the evening cooking, setting up and hanging out.. sooooooo nice !

Happy xmas eeve everyone !

nite all, nite sam.. we’re missing you !
