Thanks, guys! Sorry I've been MIA for the past week. My folks were out here to visit and also help me work on the money pit. It's half-way painted and a bunch of the siding got replaced.
So I spent my birthday getting up at 6:30 so I could drive my parents to Portland to catch their flight back to Minneapolis. We had lunch at the airport, I said goodbye, then I went to IKEA to look at stuff. Then I met a friend and her boyfriend for a drink downtown. And then I drove the four hours back to Grants Pass.
I think I'm officially a grown up.
