Summer Travels

Yes! We are married. On May 26th at 9 AM Stacy and I joined ourselves in matrimony as witnessed by our two youngest siblings, Dan and Shannon, in Cathedral Park, Portland, Ore.

Dan, Shannon and her fiance Ted then joined as at Sky Dive Oregon in Mollala, where the five of us bailed out of (as one of the instructors called it) a perfectly good airplane at 13,100 feet. We free feel for about a minute before the chutes were opened and we were back on solid ground in another five minutes.

Our leap of faith out of the plane was easily more nerve racking than the life long commitment we made to each other earlier in the day. We look forward to having time in the coming year to planning a joyous celebration for family and friends next summer.

We're still in Portland for one more day. Packing up the house makes me realize just how much stuff I have that I never use and how much of a hassle it is to move. Saturday morning we will be on the road. We'll make a pit stop in Wallla Walla for Nat's birthday party and then on to La Grande to visit my parents for a couple nights.
