Spring is (almost) here
Spring was here for a few days, but the cool, wet weather is returning this week. We planted some veggies in the few spots where we get sunlight. Hopefully we'll get something out of them.
New Home Office
After a few weeks of shopping in and around Portland, we finally landed some nice office furniture at a reasonable price. City Liquidators turns out to be the place for furniture (and other things ranging from tampons to sofas). Next up, we'll be painting the room.
Birthday and Other Events
For my birthday, I went to Rogue (as I have done for the past 7 years in a row) and got a free beer and t-shirt. Bren and I took the next day off of work and had a delicious meal at Salvador Molly's and took a hike around Gabriel Park. It was a fantastic birthday. Now that I'm in my "late 30s...", I may choose to do something different next year. We'll see.
New Couch
New Couch
We got our new couch from JCPenney last weekend. We weren't expecting it until mid-December because we had custom fabric put on it. We're glad to have it for Thanksgiving because we're having company over for food and games. I think the red (berry) fabric was a good choice, as it adds some color to the room and it matches the chair we recently purchased. The rug is new as well.
We Have Moved
We moved in to our new house Friday. I don't have many photos yet because we are still unpacking. So far, almost everything has gone well. DirecTV is unwilling to get on our roof to install the satellite dish. Apparently, it is unsafe. We've asked for a second opinion from another installer, so we'll see. Other than that, all is good!
Some photos are here, with more to come as we get settled in.
Also, today is our one year anniversary! Congrats to us.
I Know…
...this web site is way out of date. I'm working on a replacement that is less of a blog and more of an aggregator. It's slow going due to my lack of free time lately, but it will be here one day. Meanwhile, try the links in the header for more up to date Kevin data.
What's going on? We're attempting to sell our house and move closer in to Portland. At the moment, we're making some minor updates and interviewing realtors. We have not found a house to buy, and we haven't even narrowed down a specific location yet. Right now it's all about selling.
Spring Beer & Wine Festival
We're heading over to the Spring Beer & Wine Festival this afternoon. I prefer the spring event because it's indoors and much less crowded than the summer or winter ones. Walking Man brewery has a couple of interestingly named beers at the fest: Streetwalker Malt Liquor and Big Black Homo. I may have to try them based on the names alone.
