Super Tinders

Guess what guys! I have this exciting, entertaining, funny, ridiculous story aaand... I can't share it due to this silly thing called privacy. SUCKS, huh? I'm just as bummed, or probably more bummed about it than you. 

Well wait. I was gonna leave this post as a super tease and assurance I'm still living crazy stories, but maybe I'll just start writing and see how I might go about telling this one. 

It started one super boring night in, when I decided to add this ridiculous app called Tinder. If ya don't know it, you basically flip through pictures of people in your area and like em or don't. If they happen to like you too, it lets you talk to each other.

I told friend Leslie about it the next day and we got a kick out of how silly it is. But she signed up too and we were pretty amused. We got a couple good convos going and even more crash and burn ones... We saw how quickly you can tell if you "vibe" or not. 

So, the next day, Les and I started the day off great with some wine and chilling on the beach. Our tinder dudes were up to meet us but we weren't so sure at first. My Super Tinder Dude invited us to come play/watch him play beach volleyball nearby. We eventually said, "why the heck not?" and headed  over there. (Roomie later sent me a picture of his chairs that we forgot on the beach and the wine bottles in the apartment. Woops)

We sarcastically joked about the possibility of our guys working together because they both coached kids' soccer. Throw in that mine coaches kids with Down syndrome and other disabilities, is a special needs teacher, runs ultra races, had a documentary made about him running across Pennsylvania, and plays guitar, and you've got two swooning girls watching this beautiful person play volleyball. So we just watched in amazement before heading to Lemon Bar to meet her Tinder Flame and invited mine to join us after his games. 

So we headed on over, met two crazy, old foreign men who were a serious trip, and met her guy who also seemed pretty sane for someone you'd meet online. Remember the "more detes" I was hoping to give about "super new tinder friend, Gordon" I mentioned here? These are them. He's the lucky guy Les "swiped to the right" and met up with one crazy Sunday afternoon. 

Mine did come out later, and we found out they do work together! Two girls start a ridiculous app, "like" two boys, they happen to like them too, they actually meet up, and they work together. I still don't know how that's possible. 

Also Leslie knew one of Gordon's friends! Small freaking world. 

So the rest of the night added to my "risky behaviors/decisions" with us hanging out back at Leslie's Tinder Flame's house. Basically it was just one entertaining, crazy, fun night. We lucked out, to say the least, with our first (and probably only) experiences with Tinder guys, with these cool, non-serial killer fellas. 

Obvi I got the clear to disclose names in this story. So you're welcome! Stay tuned to see if my Super Tinder's name will be disclosed.

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...

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...

Washington Birthday Round 3 {My 35th}

In pure Dylabby fashion, we had a very informal plan to head east to see the Painted Hills, John Day Fossil Beds, John Day River, and desert time, but then as we were packing up the car that morning, we changed our plans and decided to head north to Colchuck Lake in Washington. More chance for seeing the Northern Lights? Autumn colors? Less chance of rattlesnakes biting our dogs? Those were a few of the random reasons that were thrown out there.  We booked a hotel on the drive up for Wenatchee, WA near Leavenworth-- Leavenworth was crazy expensive, later to find out the Oktoberfest reason why. And booking camping in Washington is not fun. If anyone has tips that don’t involve having to book 6months (or even a month) in advance or having to do a whole lottery to get a permit, please let us last-minute travelers know. We did get a good stop in Leavenworth for some German beers, people watching, and a beautiful river walk right in town, and a lovely sunset dinner view.  The next ...
