My Letters

Dear Mom, thank you for pushing me to do something today when I was stuck in a bummy mood... That hike was a hot one, but I'm glad we did it! 
Dear discontent, I'm working on getting rid of you. This transitional phase and job search will be over soon enough. For now, I just need to be present and enjoy the time I have with my parents. I probably won't have all this free time again either!
Dear Sune, although I've been super happy and excited for you with this tour, I gotta say I can't wait to talk to my man again. I'm sure Ireland will be sad to see you guys go!
Dear Pops, I hope you know how loved and admired you are. Wishing you a very happy birthday and a great year ahead!
 
The lovely poem Dad will be so blessed to wake up to:
Good morning to the birthday boy 
I planned to bake cookies, but here's a decoy...
I forgot chocolate chips, so here's Chips Ahoy.
You can enjoy your real milk, forget the soy. 
You're the best dad around... the real McCoy. 
I'm so glad pharmacists don't have to deploy!
Hopefully soon, I'll be employed,
So your empty nest dreams won't be destroyed. 
Switching to a new rhyme before this annoys
But I hope this day brings you many joys.
Now it's time for some sentimental words
Though a beautiful poem is what you deserve.
I'll do my best to express my love,
My gratitude, respect, and admiration of
You're still my favorite guy on the guitar
Others may come close, but no cigar
I'm such a proud daughter of all that you are
Jeg er så glad for at kalde dig min far. (I am so glad to call you my dad.)
Happy birthday to one gentle man
Who loves and serves to follow God's plan.
May this year be filled with many blessings,
With adventure, contentment, and not much stressing. 
For now, I hope you have a great day of birth
And enjoyed this poem for all it's worth.
Love you, Dad!

Oh, hey, here's that tattoo I never introduced to the blogging world!
A reminder I'm needing a lot lately...

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Hej fra Danmark!

        So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful.           Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious.       ...

Sunday Times {Plus a Quarterly Review}

A weekly update has now begun! If not for anything but to keep more of journal for ourselves to recap and think about each week. So much happens so quick I don't want to forget all the fun details! This week was my first full week to work with all the crew at my new job. Lots of planning with caseloads and meetings, and such. Excited to get working with the kids more in the next weeks. Dylan started his clinical this week too for his last semester of grad school! Woohoo! He's been killin' it and so close to graduating.  Monday was Labor Day and was a very cozy rainy Oregon day. It's been quite toasty lately, so this actually felt good. So we had a long walk to Peninsula Park for some roses and then hung around the casa making bags and relaxin.  Back to work on Tuesday for a good day and a rocking Crossfit after. I made some chicken tzatziki, a new fav.  Wednesday night we tried a Burmese place nearby after another very hot bike ride.  Thursday we actually went to a c...
