post-christmas;
Some key things on my mind right now...
1) Went to brunch (and adventuring around Portland) with Alec & Emily today. I really didn't expect to like Emily as much as I did. I really didn't expect to want Emily to like me as much as I did. I really didn't expect to feel such nostalgia for Alec. It was a fun day, really. We had brunch at Local 188 and we went to an antique store and walked around Portland and explored the Press Hotel and walked around near East End Beach and visited Matt and Sharon. Then we came back to my house (after I declined several invitations to a trip to see Star Wars) and Mukow barked at them (mostly at Alec). It was great! I'm hoping this means an eventual invite to the wedding, but... who knows.
2) Gramma & Grampa also left this morning. I felt bad because I kind of had to rush out after saying goodbye to them since Alec & Emily were picking me up... but they really had to get packing anyway. They seemed so, so happy they came (and I am so, so happy they came) and I really couldn't express to them how awesome it was to share Christmas with them but... it was really amazing.
That's mostly it, honestly. There's lots of other little things but those are the big ones.
