Hostel Partner

April 6, 2008 - Florence, Oregon, United States

So..as Chris wrote, we had an amazing time in San Francisco! I never thought I'd actually enjoy riding during rush hour traffic dodging cars. I think we might call ourselves semi-pros. Riding across the Golden Gate bridge at night was spectacular to say the least..beautiful city lights, fresh air, and no people in the way. I think Chris mentioned my time in the hostel, I'll do my best to share.  We stayed at the hostels both nights, the first night perfect! Firm mattress, warm sheets, and fresh showers. The second night Chris and I got split up into seperate buildings due to lack of space. I went to bed at a reasonable hour  10 ish and couldn't sleep because all of the older adults decided to stay up and laugh....talk....cackle!! They finally went to bed around 1:00 and so I thought YES time to sleep. Of course the lady right next to me snored louder than anything I've ever heard. Not only was in a constant snore...she would stop breathing...and then her body would panic. She would toss and turn and yell...with some high pitched squeaks..and then she would start breathing and snoring again. I kept thinking to myself.."When is she going to end?" I looked over at her silouette and she had a sleeping mask, something stuffed in her upper lip, and her feet were propped up nicely on the pillow. Finally I started to drift to sleep..ooh but another loud snore, squeak, panic....AHH. So evidently I got no sleep that night..

The next morning she woke up and said..."I'm such a light sleeper.." I couldn't believe it! I'm like yeah right lady. Then she pulled out some crazy ear plugs and was informing me she was some sort of phone consultant. Anyway...I have to demonstrate in person

Mackenzie says hi and wishes she were with you. she could bring her own child seat. She would only add a little extra weight and keep you warm at night. Love you both, Mac and Mom

Sounds like you need some earplugs dear! I'm glad that is all that happened though, I was worried that someone tried to violate something other than your sleep!

Oh Brittles...such sad paws and ears. I have actually had similar experiences with Isis. She snores like a bear and then she dreams about chasing rabbits or something and it is like she is having a seizure or something. I feel like I need to put a bone in her mouth so she doesn't bite her tongue off. But, she keeps the bed warm and is a good cuddler.

I went fly fishing in Washington last weekend. Pretty much almost killed myself twice...seriously, it was pretty sketchy. We floated down the Yakima river on pontoon boats. Turns out, trying to fish, row, and drink beer required entirely too much multitasking for me. Popped a boat, almost lost a flyrod, etc. basically everything that could go wrong, did. I survived, barely...it was definitely an adventure.

I love you guys. I missed your last call, but holla at me when you get service. I MISS YOU.

Well, based on what Ali explained and from what the roommates of North End Boise, cant remember the street, probably feel that ISIS and I should start sleeping together... Oh yea Hansen... Partied with Jeff Mas and Roger this past weekend.. Actually, i lied.. I pulled a Conner and went to get some slices at the usual hang out around 2 AM and found those two there... Us great educated minds from Albertson think alike.

Loving you both! Thanks for the call. You sound wonderful! - happy, strong, enthused. Be safe. Capture the memories in your hearts and minds, knowing that they will sustain you always. Hold on and take care of each other. Isis looks fabulous! - Allie's obviously a good mom. Sierra is suffering her usual post-Isis depression.

It's called SLEEP APNEA! Remember when I slept in the bathtub that night at the hotel? Anyway, I'm glad you guys are having alot of fun. And I can't wait until you demonstrate in person...maybe it'll top the teeth into the hardwood floor.
