Oh well, you'll just have to suck it up and listen to this Mixwit tape.
Although I am not a member of the 'Cool Kids Who Make Music' club, I still think I'm a pretty good listener. And don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with the old Portland standards (Decemberists, Thermals, Elliott Smith, Menomena.) I'm going to mix it up!
While Garrett is off carousing in Europe, I am at work cleaning up poop and getting wet, snotty kisses. But seriously, I LOVE my job.
I miss all of our visitors and hope somebody will come see me soon. I've been loving hanging out with the Killpack sisters and am so glad they live down the street! Now I'm just waiting for the Cooke sisters and Booth and Christopher to hurry up and get here! Speaking of the Cooke sisters, Christina wrote a fascinating post about her visit to Portland in her travel blog, "Out to See." Here's some photos from her visit.

As I've looked over our posts from the past, I've noticed that we talk about all the exciting, new things we are doing and how wonderful Portland is. It sounds like our lives are perfect and that we are existing in some kind of utopia. But I really want to be honest and tell you that it hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows (or should I say organic produce and bike rides). Moving across the country was alot harder than I thought it would be. I have felt lost and alone at times, and I miss all of my dearest friends and think of you guys every day.
I guess I'm just trying to say that the payoff has been great, but the sacrifice was kind of big too. So don't be down if you feel "stuck" in your town.
Love you guys.
xoxo

Man, that package really made my day.
I can't help but think of weiners when I say the word "package."
I got an idea. You should come to Birmingham to keep your mind busy with Garrett being gone.
