days 3, 4 and 5

i failed miserably. I mean, I don't even know how it went so bad. but no one seemed to notice until Amanda. Promise we'll get better at posting, ya'll.

Movie in Sellwood Park
On Wednesday night we went to an outdoor movie in a park. It was in a superfun neighborhood in Portland called Sellwood, that's in the SE district, about as far south as it goes. The park's right on the river and there were crew boats, kayaks and sailboats on the water. Plus, there was free Starbucks and popcorn.

We had picked up some dinner at a mexican restaurant nearby and picnicked prior to the start of the movie. There was a band—and I wish ya'll could have seen these guys. 50-year-old men living out their fantasy of being in a band. Dancing around the stage and all—it was definitely entertaining.

And then we saw Across the Universe, which is kind of like Moulin Rouge but with Beatles music. It was pretty interesting. It definitely got cold sitting on the ground, but it was super fun being there and being out and just playing.

sorry for the creepy look, the other one has daniel's eyes closed

Really, that was the only interesting thing that we did this week. Other than that, some work, a grocery store run or two, a couple of walks, etc. 

Job stuff is going great, and we definitely feel like we're nearing the end. It's looking like we're not going to know for sure until early August though, so there's still some waiting to be done, but hang in tight—soon we'll be able to reveal all!

Free Starbucks? What kind of place serves free Starbucks? Oregon sounds sketchy... AKA you should come home.
