thanksgiving weekend recap

It's already more than a week after Thanksgiving and I'm just now writing about it. I suppose it's better than not writing at all, which is mostly what I've been doing the last few months.
I drove to Portland Thursday morning after work without sleeping. The lack of sleeping didn't bother me during the drive, but mixed with the copius ammounts of turkey and italian food I would later consume, I was completely out it by the evening. However, before that was great. Aside from the excellent food, I got to introduce Katie (my girlfriend, for those you didn't know) to my immediate family as well as my extended family. She fit in well with everyone. It was a lot of fun.
After sleeping for twelve hours I went and picked up Katie again. We pretty much just hung out at my folks house all day.
On Saturday, I went to my nephews 1st birthday party. I also watched the Ducks football team throw their season away in a very pathetic performance. Oh well. Later that evening I got to hang out with a bunch of friends and introduce Katie to those who she hadn't met yet.
On Sunday, Katie and I went to Imago Dei in the morning. It was sort of weird going to church in my former high schools auditorium. Later in the day we went to see the movie Margot at the Wedding with Jack Black and Nicole Kidman. Jack Black is hilarious, but I don't reccommend it. All the characters were such nasty people. Later that evening we went to Bob and Lalita's and hung out there for awhile. It was a very nice change from the other loud and busy social gatherings we were at earlier in the weekend.
I then left Portland on Monday (after seeing Katie one last time of course). It was a great weekend. I'll be back in Portland in another week from now for Whipple and Sarah's baby shower. Does anyone know if they've had the baby yet?
