Chapter One
The week started with us in two different states–no, we did not find ourselves a state line for this occasion. There are a number of loved ones we left behind in Portland, Oregon, when we moved to Boise. One in particular—a long time friend who was unable to attend our wedding last fall—I especially needed to spend time with. This called for a variety of things, most notably Pokémon battles, lightsaber wars, target shooting, disc golf, French toast, and video games. Jerrod has long been a great friend and always a very hospitable host. I also managed to squeeze in some time for my family, church, and extended family, the Hunts, all making for an exceptional weekend of catching up with people.
