This last weekend, I was reminded of the many reasons why I like my dear friend, Amander.
- She generously came to visit me this weekend in Portland.
- She brought the good weather with her, even though she appreciates rain as I do. It was really nice all weekend.
- She appreciates a good view. Here she is at the Japanese gardens overlooking Portland.
- She also asks for free bread when I'm too ashamed to ask for more and look like a pig.
- She also likes to learn about random trivia, most of which will be completely useless to her the rest of her life (after posing at Multnomah Falls, we went into their exhibit and studied waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge).
- She has the same taste in music and theater. We saw perhaps the WORST play/musical/jazz concert ever. It was Alice in Wonderland to jazz! Yeah, you can imagine. We had no idea what we got ourselves into. The good news is, we got a dose of the Portland Jazz Festival. Score!
- We both have an eternal love for Friends.
-Thanks Mander for coming to visit me. It was a wonderful and romantic weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better substitute for Nick. I can't wait to see you until this summer! It's too far away.

Awwww...this post is GREAT! I was just in the middle of typing up my own Portland post - seriously!
I had the best time with you this weekend. I can never get enough of trivia, Friends, and talking (seriously, we probably talked for a good 30 hours).
I'm so glad you devoted a whole weekend to driving my butt around Oregon - it was awesome. Can't wait to see you again!
This post makes me miss Amander and I still live in the same state. I have to take advantage of that. (Expect a call Amanda)
