Victory! ... and a House Guest

Ty passed his series 7 test today! I know that he is excited, but I am elated that it is finally over. The last few weeks have been filled with long hours at work, in coffee shops, and in Ptown prepare and it all paid off.

Side note: Our friend Patrick from the Netherlands flies in tonight to stay with us for a week or so. He is such a great friend. He played on Ty's football team when we were in Germany and was also one of our flat-mates. (me + 6 football players...what an experience!) We were able to visit him in his hometown for a week during the time we were living in Europe and made a pact to visit each other every few years. Well he has done all the traveling thus far. This will be his fourth trip to Mac! He always comes for Thanksgiving...his favorite holiday:) We try each year to show him something authentically PacNW...Seattle, Portland, wine tasting, a UO game! This year we are traveling to the Seattle area for the holiday with Ty's fam, and our PacNW experience is going to be watching the Civil War...on t.v..

A funny Patrick story: The first time he came to visit Ty picked him up from the airport at night and about 2/3 of the way he says to Ty, "It really feels like we are heading to the end of the earth." Being from Europe, filled with cities and well-lighted super highways I am guessing that our rural little community probably did seem like the end of the world.

Hey Ty, Molly and now Maya,

im so ashamed i didnt wrote any comment on your blog yet! Can give you all quite some reasons, but all are not worth it. I just had to write something earlier. I hope Maya is doing well, she is probably growing like the seeds ive brought from Holland.

I will get back to you with a longer note, for now i only have to say two things:

1) the first time i said: its like a gathering of houses, marking the end of the world... ;-)
2)take care, give and receive love and enjoy your life!!

Kisses and love from Holland
