All I can think about is Portland. Rusty is going to ask his boss for a few days off, even though he's not eligible for time off yet. I keep planning out the trip in mind. What to bring, how to get around, who we'll see, what the party might be like, what my cousin's house is like, what the weather might be like. I get like this with almost all our trips. I get so excited about getting out that I over think things and plan and daydream and get worked up. I just hope Rusty's boss is generous and says yes.
