So much to catch up on...

I feel like I've got enough material swirling around in my head for about five blog posts, but unfortunately time constraints limit me to just a "weekend recap."

Thursday Night - Drew and the rest of his first-grade homies put on "Dancing Around the World." It was great. You haven't lived until you've seen your child perform in a school program (with an added bonus that we got to see him dance a little French jig to Frere Jacques and some sort of Israeli/Jewish dance). What was Drew's speaking part in the program? "Did you know that the water of the Dead Sea is so dense from salt that people can float in it without even trying?" We are so proud.

Friday - Our office officially moved into the new federal courthouse. If you think moving a family is a pain, increase that frustration/chaos by about tenfold for an office move.

Friday Night - Missi and I attended the Oregon Law Students Public Interest Fund Benefit Auction at the law school. It was a really great time!

Saturday - We just kind of hung around, did housework, relaxed, took naps, etc...It was nice to be together as a family for a lazy Saturday.

Saturday Night - One of my best friends in the world came down to Eugene with his girlfriend to watch the Ducks - Huskies basketball game. We had dinner at our house first and then made it over to Mac Court. The energy in the building was INTENSE because of the rivalry between the two schools. Fortunately the Ducks were able to pull it off. After the game we had some amazing dessert at Sweet Life. Later that evening we went to Rennie's to meet up with my friends Mike and Cassidy who had come down to Eugene for the game. There are few things better than being able spend time with some of your truest friends.

Sunday - We went to church, watched Garden State (maybe a 6/10), and then celebrated our anniversary. We went to the mall together, got pedicures together, and then had a great dinner at this new restaurant here in Eugene. It's called Bates' Steakhouse and it has this Westernish feel to it, but it's really great. It was a really nice evening reminiscing over our seven years of marriage and looking toward the future.

Here are a couple of pictures:
