I had insomnia again which is typically unusual for me but this is the third time in a couple of weeks. Maybe this time it was a combination of stress and the fact that our son, Jordan, was flying in with his dog and cat. They will be living with us while Jordan gets settled and we are all really happy about this! Now all of our children are here in Portland.
Alena came over with the kids in the morning and we hung out until it was time for us to leave for the airport. I love them so much and am really glad they moved out to Portland as well.
Wayne, Andrew and I piled in the truck and headed to the airport. As we were driving there, Jordan messaged to say he had landed. His plane was about 15 minutes early! We parked and headed down to baggage claim where he was waiting for his dog. He looked tired and happy and we could hear his irritated dog barking in the back. Nobody was bringing him out so Jordan went to the airline desk and asked if he could get him. They brought him right out in this HUGE crate! Comet is a big boy for sure! He’s a golden lab and weighs over 100 pounds. He’s super sweet and was very happy to get out of his crate. The cat, Vanilope, was meowing away in hers so we let her out as well. Andrew tried to carry her to the car but she started freaking out and scratched his hand up. Back in the crate she went.
We came straight home and both animals explored the house. Our cat was not very pleased to see this new cat in her house so kept stalking her. They didn’t fight and Vanilope is really sweet and would rather be friends so hopefully it goes well. Comet had a blast romping and playing with Lily and Ladybug. They wrestled and played for hours.
Andrew, Wayne and I walked down to La Bonita for lunch and brought a burrito back for Jordan. Taylor and Delaney came over to hang out and welcome Jordan. We all sat around talking and catching up until it was time for dinner. Nobody really wanted to cook anything so Delaney and I grabbed some pizza for everyone. We also stopped by Voodoo 2 and got some donuts. Jordan was getting a very Portland experience. Dinner and dessert were great and we were all stuffed. Taylor and Delaney headed home so Jordan, Wayne, Andrew and I watched Almost Famous. It was a pretty good movie!
Today I learned that right means right and not left.
