The sweetest note ever. From a japanese sales associate written to his co-workers before departing back to his homeland. heart heart heart. 

Baby Petty. sleepy, emotional, love. 


My home for the last week in Portland, OR. My favorite place to stay: the ace hotel. 

It's true that the butterfly cannot fly as high as the eagle. it seems like there is something to be said for that. 

Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets. Portland took it with a "hail mary shot" in the last .8 of a second in overtime. 2nd best basketball game I've ever seen!!! 1st pro game I've ever been to! Who knew I was such a basketball fan?! 

the rain is really here but the sun is still shining somewhere

rain every day for over a week...it's winter in the northwest! time to buy a sun lamp, but until it arrives i will just revel in photos of sunny days past in hopes the vitamin d has the ability to transmit through a computer screen. At the risk of sounding cheesy i will say that the idea that this country will soon be led by someone other than Bush will keep me smiling even through the rain. 

KJ and Jerod- you can kind of see the space needle in the background of this picture... meet me there?
