wow. i've been busy. or perhaps i've just been too lazy to download pictures... last weekend was a big "family" weekend. j's brother got married! we went down to eugene friday afternoon. i rehearsed with a pianist for the ceremony music, then we went over to the rehearsal & then on to the rehearsal dinner. the next day we did a little wine tasting before heading to the ceremony. i (& the pianist) was the music for the ceremony. all went fine. the whole shindig was in the back yard of the bride's parents' home. everything looked beautiful. the reception was fun. good food, good band.
i finally have most of my teaching schedule hammered out for the fall. just have a few spaces open, waiting to be filled. i'm interested to see how tired i'll be after the first "real" teaching week after labor day.
tonight we're going down to smith rock to camp out. tomorrow morning we're going mountain biking, and i hope to spend the afternoon hanging out with friends who are playing the cascade music festival in bend. we're staying with the newlyweds tomorrow night, and possibly will climb a little sun morn before heading back home to make a 3pm bbq at a neighbor's house.
i must get going - my sister in law has her white coat ceremony today - she's beginning medical school at OHSU (oregon health sciences university). never been to one of these before...
