Hi All -
This post will be short because it's 11:30pm and we have to make a 3:45am bus to Chicago to take off for Guatemala. But, why oh why are you up, Marianne? Because unlike my pathetic attempts at creating blogs in the past, I am really going to try to be dedicated to this one.
Beloit was great. Brent's mom looks fabulous as always and it was great to spend some time with her. We also got to see Brent's grandmother, Alvina, still going strong at the young age of 97. We spent a day up in (or over, or down, I need to learn my Wisconsin geography) in Madison. I absolutely love Madison. It was our #2 choice to live after Portland, OR and I think I would've really liked it had things not worked out with Portland.
We got to do some pool time with Scott and his girls, Maggie and Clara in Beloit. We also hit up a trivia night in Beloit with Steve and Marion Fass. We had some major high hopes, but things didn't go so well for us. Maybe you can answer the final question: What does the J.R.R stand for in J.R.R. Tolkien? We had no friggin' idea. Good times, nonetheless.
Now, we're all packed up (I think, I hope... what did I forget?) for Guatemala. Looking forward to keeping you updated when I'm there (or it might have to be when I get back). I am super super excited except for the fact that we'll be taking a bus to Uspantan from Guatemala City that takes like a million hours so I won't be able to see the World Cup finals. Acks.
I'd like a Guatemala post whenever you're ready please.. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am glad Portland worked out. You know you RSVP'd yes to our wedding, but somehow I don't think you'll make it. We'll accept a framed photo of some beautiful location from your travels as a gift. :) Miss you!!!
