Making a point
Last Friday, we enjoyed a rare event: a child-free Smith-Gingerich outting. Though we love hanging out with our kids together (especially watching Emma interact with Megan), it was nice to have an "adults-only" affair. So, while my mom was around to babysit, we decided to celebrate our mutual good referral: Jeremy recommended we use his mortgage broker, Bruce, for our own financing; Bruce gave Jeremy a $100 gift-certificate for the referral. When Bruce bought a truck at Canby Ford after we met with him, Jeremy was kind enough to get us a referral kick-back. With our funds in hand, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the new McCormack and Schmick's in Tualitan. We should have toasted Bruce, but we were to busy stuffing our faces to think of it!
In addition to a nice dinner, Jennifer and I got a chance to show off our new pointy shoes.
For those Portlanders who have yet to visit Bridgeport Village, I highly recommend it. I had no idea that dumpy old weed patch was going to be turned into something so nice; I really liked the outdoor mall design. And besides, do you really need an excuse to visit Crate and Barrel?
