what a week...

What a week...

1. There is a saying that great Presidents were born, not made. I truly believe that we are finally going to have a great president. Brack is already changing the old ways of Washington my limiting the number of lobbysists and saying that he will not support the funding of them. While history was already made Tuesday electing the first black president, it is the history that has yet to be created that will truly put in the same category and on the same level as John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt and Mr. Lincoln himself.

2. To top off a new president for a new America, the Oregon State Men's Basketball whom is coached by Michele's brother had a huge upset win against top 25 and tied for first in the Pac 10 California. Talk about a good week for Coach Craig Robinson, you just saw your brother-in-law get sworned in to take the reigns of the highest office in the land and you had the unique and amazing pleasure to sleep in the Lincoln Room of the White House to lastly getting your second Pac 10 win of the season against top-ranked Cal in Berkely and coming-from-behind. Dang, what a week!

3. I am back in the Northwest again and it feels so wonderful! I have been trying to get back to Oregon (Corvallis) now for ages and it finally worked out to be this weekend. I have missed the smell and sight of fresh, large trees that heavily populate Oregon. I have missed the tasty, and regularly alcohol beer from local brewerys all around Oregon and lastly I just missed my friends like Kayleen, Elan, Pete, Ryan, Matt, Janelle, Janele, Megan and Andrea. It is so nice to be able to see them again. I have also throughly enjoyed being able to walk everywhere versus drive. What a nice change, and a needed one at that!

Well I am going to soke up more tree smellings, walks, fresh and local beer, and quality people and submerge myself until I cannot breathe anymore! Till next time; peace, love and pancakes!
