Well Kyle and I just got home from Portland. We spent our two year anniversary at the Kerry Rally:
You can see me!! – look in the back right. The rally was awesome- Kyle’s friend Jared hooked us up with the special blue tickets- which got us up in the front- not very front but very close. Thank you Jared- we owe you! Sean Astin opened up – the actor from Lord of the Rings (Frodo’s best friend) and Goonies (Betsey- I immediately thought of you when he brought that up! Goonies was filmed in Astoria, OR) Then the lead singer of Everclear played. He’s from Portland. Then Barbara Roberts, the former governor of OR, spoke along with several other speakers. Barbara gave an awesome speech. Kerry and Dean walked up and everyone went nuts. Dean and Jim Rassmann, the man Kerry saved in Vietnam and who is from Florence, OR, introduced Kerry. Kerry gave an awesome speech. He seems like such a nice, genuine man. It was really a thrill to be there today. He stayed after signing autographs and shaking hands for a long time. Thanks to Kyle we got his autograph! (Sophie was dying for his autograph so I couldn’t come home w/o it) Kyle and Jared got to shake his hand. We went to Red Robin to celebrate our anniversary. And Kyle really made my day because he got me DIDO CONCERT TICKETS FOR THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait, we’re going to see her Thursday night. I’ll be sure to take pictures. We unfortunately didn’t have the camera while at the rally today. More soon!!
