Much more productive day today, more so than any we've had in a solid week! We more or less started off with a positive response from the Clemen's foundation, confirming that there will be no problem in continuing their portion of my scholarship up her in Portland over the next year - as long as I'm still working towards the medical field, I still qualify. Still working on figuring out the rest of our finances, but that's a huge worry at least mostly out of the way.
Towards noon we headed down to the Portland Airport to pick up Cassie on her return from New York; she's been gone pretty much the entire time we've been sick. Her plane was almost a half hour late, which actually wasn't all that bad for me; spent the time taking pictures of jets and planes as they landed, which was at least interesting. Not so much so that I'd make a trip down just to shoot; perhaps a smaller airport where I could get closer to the landing strip would be appropriate there - here it's just relatively close air shots - no real angle for touchdown and takeoff.
Our evening was spend down at Pat's, celebrating Connor's birthday (which will actually be tomorrow, but he'll be down in Corvallis, then.) It was quite a nice family gathering, and Pat made up some delicious chicken adobo... definitely a different recipe than my lovely wife uses, but quite good all the same.
All in all, it felt really good to get out of the house for a significant amount of time, and seemed like we got a lot accomplished.
