2 weeks in Fort Collins

So what the heck have we been doing?

It's a little strange, because the time passes so quickly. It's hard to believe that we've been here for almost 2 weeks.

Brent is easy, he just practices for hours and hours on end. I've been reading a lot, helping my folks out around the house, cooking, writing, and we try to take an exercise break together every weekday in the early afternoon. I've also been helping my friend Shilpa plan her wedding. She's in Portland, so we've been emailing and talking on the phone a lot. It turns out that my entire family is planning on going out to Oregon to be at the wedding! So exciting! Even though I know that Mom only wants to go because Korin said they'd bring Charli up, and it's now been almost 3 weeks since Mom's seen Charli. She goes into pretty heavy withdrawl.

This coming Sunday we'll leave for our first WWOOFing assignment, in southern Colorado. I'm pretty excited! The people seem really nice (from the emails we've exchanged) and they're excited about us coming out. I'm also really excited about the Washington WWOOFing. I'm a little sad that we're spending so little time out there, and that out Portland time will be so busy. We may be able to visit some trail friends while we're there, and that'd be great, but the thing that I'm really looking forward to is taking my family to the Original Pancake House in Portland. I want to watch Mom's face when she gets her corned beef hash. Someone better get an apple pancake. This will be a breakfast for the ages!
