Strange week


More snow has fallen this week than Cornelius has seen in years. There are moments when I've laughed at the locals for being so wimpy (and for being bad winter drivers), but we have really gotten a lot of snow (and I'm internally taking back my ridicule--sorry, Oregonians). Everything has been canceled, which has caused us to be a bit disoriented at times, and Eric is currently considering canceling one of his church services!

Because we've been cooped up so much, and due to Eric's excitement about his new laptop (that allows him to work anywhere), we've tried to get out whenever we can. Today, after lunch with Idaho friend Justin Horn and his girlfriend, Andra, we camped out at a cozy coffee shop in Northwest Portland. And now, as the snow continues to come down--with no slowing in sight--and we hear rumors of severe public transportation delays, we are starting to question the wisdom of straying so far from home. I'm sure we'll make it back, but it might take a little longer than normal! Well, it's an adventure, that's for sure!
