so this is what he's been hiding
While Brian's at work today, I'm loading pictures onto Facebook and decided to plug in his memory card to retrieve the photos he took on his camera this weekend... and I found a treasure trove of photos that I had all but forgotten that we'd taken up until now! Blasphemy!
So, pardon the lateness of these, but I'll have him held accountable when he returns in a few hours. ;)
When we first arrived at the house two weeks ago and had to wait about 20 minutes for the landlord to arrive. Brian had already peed in the backyard ("Go pee! It's our house," I'd said) but I had not, and was suffering considerably. Oh, and we were hungry too.
Striking an appropriate pose in front of the Asian shopping center by our house!!
Last weekend before we met up with Lise and Ben, we stopped to watch a street magician named Brian. Ha ha.
This past weekend, waiting for the MAX train downtown with Lisa and Derek. Brian and Derek are frighteningly similar. More on that later.
Yesterday we went to the Oregon coast for some sand dune action. Unfortunately we were discouraged from bringing cameras on the dune buggies, but we did get to climb our own on foot beforehand. I had a lovely view of everyone's butts.
This is how I felt about it.
Brian never disappoints when action shots are concerned.
Together at last!!
We had a lovely weekend with Lisa and Derek. They're fantastic people, and Brian and Derek hit it off instantly. We'd already known of some of their similarities - a disregard for convention and love of adventure - but as the weekend wore on we were struck at just how much they reminded us of each other. Lisa and I did a birthday gift exchange and they stood around us intently photographing us like a pair of paparazzi! Like Brian, Derek loves the outdoors, will wear shorts in the dead of winter ("On Christmas!" Lisa protested), and is quite the jokester, always giving Lisa a hard time but never with ill intentions.
Saturday night we went to the Bite of Oregon food festival downtown and ate to our heart's content, then headed to the MAX station to take the free train back to where we had parked the car. Earlier that day I had mentioned to Brian that he was the only person I'd ever met who said 'snaz' - meaning 'cool' or 'awesome' - and as we stood waiting, Derek blurted, 'Snaz!' and I almost fainted.
It's perhaps not too surprising that the two of them are so similar, because Lisa and I have always marveled at how much alike we are, despite having grown up in such different environments and never met. It only makes sense that we've found such similar guys for ourselves!
Well, I haven't left the house all day so I think it's due time for some fresh air...

I want more on the LISA visit. LISA VISITS AND ALL I GET ARE A FEW PICTURES! I NEED MORE!
雅婷，中文有兩句成語可以用來形容妳和莉莎的友情以及這次的聚會﹕"有緣千里來相會"和"有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎！"。妳應該有學過第二句吧！記得它是什麼意思嗎？ ﹕）
很高興你們有一個愉快的週末！
柏安的耳朵清乾淨了嗎？
Hi - I love seeing the pictures and it is great to see how much fun you are having. I'm am glad you had a wonderful visit with Lisa and Derek and hopefully you will all get to spend more time together. Brian sure looks like he is fitting in out there. Love to you both.
