Two in One: Weekend Update

Easter Weekend

I got back from my Nethergium trip late on Thursday, so just had a nice movie night with Sune.

2. Made pie and FaceTimed Mom, Dad, and Matt and met his new girlfriend! Good FaceTime with Amy too.

3. Had a great night out with Molly and Megan at Francis Pony.

4. Learned about Molly's crazy roommates and coworkers during our Easter coffee and cake with Megan, Molly, and Molly's friend.

5. Got the best Thai food takeout with Suneman and spent the night

playing guitar. I enjoyed this mucho, especially the Easter songs since we missed the church service due to a key mixup.

7. We had our first experience at the Listening Room, where they have singer/songwriters every Sunday.

8. We biked around, chilled on a hill by The Lake, and enjoyed the sun... While every other Dane did the same. I love how they revel in the sun whenever it's out. Music and chillin on the bridge. Excellent. A very chill Monday.

9. Sune fooled me when we started watching Clerks and he had it to the sound of Beethoven... I think it was meant to be that way.

This Weekend I...

1. Soaked up the sun with Maria in Fælledparken, a great little park with people slack lining and so many dogs.

2. Got a little rowdy with the whole crew (Maria, Megan, Anne Lise, Charlotte, Arthur and Karen Sofie) in Café Retro, with conversations you wouldn't want your grandma to hear.

3. Danced on tables in the Dubliner with Megan and Maria C.

4. Got slightly lost on what should have been a 5 minute walk to the train station for my bike. I wound up like 30 minutes away, threw out my strawberries and sunglasses off a bridge out of distraught drunkeness, and met some awesome lady strangers that took me in and brought me along to Christiana adventures. That was an unexpected turn of events that night.

5. Then had a tame, cafe-lounging, book-reading Sunday

6. Continued the tradition of music at the Listening Room with Sune on Sunday... even if the music was a bit too weird involving bizarre, "artistic" lyrics, crazy sound effects, and a weird bit with the stoic dude rubbing a chain on his guitar while the chick pushed buttons for some futuristic sound effects and the dude then dropping the chain dramatically to the floor. Weird.

What were the highlights of your weekend, readers?

Get The Paris Wife at Amazon for an interesting read about Ernest Hemingway and his 1st wife.

2023 in Review (Plus 2020-2022, oops)

I am super bummed to realize that I haven't done a yearly review/highlights since 2019! That's FOUR YEARS ago! Pre covid, pre Oregon, pre master's degree, pre return to Florida, pre a million babies being born... So much has changed! It's always to nice to sit back and look at all that happens in a year too. It's now February. I started this post in December and was about to go and try to edit and make it all fancy with links to other posts and all kinds of cool things.... I'm sure there are some mistakes even with the years, things left out... but progress over perfection right? We're just going posting it in 3...2...1... Have fun! 2023 1. Bike bike biking everywhere. To the Grom for tasty lunch treats, Indian almost every week, grocery shopping, to the gym, just to bike around in the sun. It's been great! 2. All the babies came: Lowey-Balls, Krupkas, Bakers, neighbor friends x2, Sarkissians, and even more to come! 3. Finally got the best job wit

Home

Home is where the heart is . Home is wherever I'm with you . Home is where you are . Home is where I wanna be. Home is inside you . Now for the good news I postponed from the previous post for a combination of organization, suspense, and getting the chance to use another cliche... After my travels so far, my original thinking that I would be so likely to stay in Europe have changed a little. As I began to realize during my American road trip, and I think I mentioned in my posts about it, it's really important to me to stay close to my family, especially when I have one of my own. So I started thinking that maybe the best thing would be to go and live abroad and explore until wanting to settle down with a family and all. Now these thoughts have become even more clear. Being so far from home has made me realize just how much I love and miss my family, and how I don't want to miss much more of their lives. It's been interesting too

Opposite Ends (Atlantic to Pacific)

It's been over a year since being back in Florida. I started thinking of some of these comparisons shortly after returning, but now I have even more to add. And it's more comparing the Oregon Coast to this area, of course. If you're new here, we were in Pacific City, OR a little old town of ~1000 people. Now we're in Atlantic Beach, FL. 1. The amount of laundry. I'd say 3 shirts a day in the summer is typical for this Florida heat and humidity. Go for a morning walk, change shirts... Plant some flowers. Gotta change... Workout, definitely change. Shower, dog walk-- one more change before the night's done. 2. The bank and post office are open on Saturdays here! And restaurants don't close for the winter. 3. Florida neighborhood strolls: Seeing 10+ humans on every walk compared to often only 0. I love the community here! Lovely neighbors, gym rats, baristas. Even my parents! The Padres moved 40 minutes away vs 2.5! Yahoo! Pacific City was just so empty. On

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
