Tillaflood 2006 UPDATE!
Posted on November 11th, 2006 at 07:12pm by Chris
Well, we made it home in one piece, none the worse for wear. 
My poor pumpkin, left all week to face the blustery winds and pounding, sideways rain on the ledge of our balcony, was… not so lucky…
Tillaflood 2006!

Well, Anna and I are still in Tillamook, trapped for a week due to excessive flooding that closed all roads out of town.
These photos were taken on Tuesday, when Anna’s grandpa George drove us around town to survey the water and see why we couldn’t leave.
This isn’t a lake! It’s a field where cows usually hang around and eat grass. The campers (as well as all the logs and fallen trees you see) floated down from at least a mile away:
new picture please!

Okay, maybe that pic. works in the family line, but up close like that, I don’t think so…
I’m going to Atlanta!

After my trying to convince myself that I was going to stay in Nipawin for Christmas…I found and bought tickets for 500$ and I decided to close the center for while I am gone. Yeah! I’ll get there after 1pm on Christmas day! Yeah!

Early this morning, he turned to me and announced: “I was going to rescue you with dragons! So I called and made a reservation for us, and they have non-smoking rooms.”
“Good.” What else am I supposed to say?
Just call me Chris — U.S. Resident!

Well, it only took like…10 months… but I am now officially a U.S. resident. At least, of the nonimmigrant variety, until my actual greencard comes through in a few months. Yay!
Yesterday afternoon, Anna and I crossed back into the U.S. (after a particularly long, holiday-weekend wait) at the Peace Arch, and everything went fairly smoothly. It seemed like they didn’t process very many K3 visas, because we had to wait for a while until a guy finally could be found who knew how to do it. As it turns out, he had some sort of bizarre speech problem that made it sound like he had marbles in his mouth. Made the whole thing a little trickier, but more memorable. He wasn’t able to simply issue me a work permit (dadburnit), as they pretty much can’t do that, and he apparently screwed up the visa he put in my passport since he did it in Anna’s name rather than mine, as we discovered when we went to see the lawyer this morning. So, next time we go to Canada, we’ll need to have them fix that.
Otherwise, no problems!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone!
Chris & Anna’s wedding photos!

We’ve received the official wedding photos from our awesome photographer, David Watt.
I will post them up online as soon as I can. We have digital copies, but I need to go through and make sure they are all optimized for the web. In the meantime, here’s a preview!
Pictures from various friends can also be seen here on the old wedding site.
:-)
EDIT: You can now see Dave Watt’s official wedding photos here!
