Weekend Update

This weekend was rather uneventful. We didn't make it out for Halloween this year, something that has not occurred since we both moved to D.C. It was a little sad not dressing up and going out with all of our friends, but we don't really have many friends in Portland yet. It was pretty cold and a little rainy, so I was very happy hanging out in our warm, dry apartment watching an old movie.

We did start thinking about our holiday cards on Friday night and by Saturday afternoon we had finalized a design and started production. I'm not going to give away much, but these are some of the tools that we used. I convinced Jesse to come with me to the Paper Source to pick out colors and supplies. We did a test run yesterday and I am pretty excited about the results.

Since we moved this year and never managed to send out new address cards, our holiday cards will have to suffice. For this reason, our list of people is surprisingly large. Starting to make holiday cards on November 3rd probably sounds a little crazy, but I think we might actually need the entire month to complete them all!

I woke up this morning and was all set to get our car inspected for emissions again (Oregon will not accept our 2-month-old inspection from California). We need the inspection in order to register our car and get Oregon license plates. Oh and also, our car needs a "VIN Inspection" were we get to pay someone $21 to look at the VIN number on our car and write it down on a piece of paper. Anyway, I went online to find the nearest inspection station only to find that they aren't open on Mondays.

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to work on other fun projects today.
