Happy 2nd Anniversary!

For our 2nd anniversary my boss (Lisa) made us reservations @ Portland City Grill!

She also gave us a 50.00 gift card to go towards our dinner.

We had an amazing view of Downtown Portland from our window table.

Our table was decorated with red confetti hearts ^

Oh SO Yummy! Teriyaki Chicken Rice Paper Spring Rolls^


Hood River Apple, Candied Hazelnuts, & Gorgonzola Salad^
I'm not sure I remember what this was called but Spencer liked it ^

Macadamia Nut Crusted Chicken Breast^

Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs^




Chocolate Macadamia Brittle Torte ^

Spencer getting creative with our confetti hearts! Very sweet!

I am very grateful to have spent the last two years of my life married to Spence! He has been a great husband and I cannot wait to make more memories with him.

I LOVE YOU!

4th Of July Camping Trip

Out of no where we decided we wanted to go camping for the 4th of July weekend.

We had no camping stuff (including a tent) so we had to go shoppin for it all .

We left our house at 7:30 on Thursday morning. Got gas. Ate at McDonalds (I felt so sick after eating it. YUCK!) and we were on the road to the Oregon Beaches (Seaside to be exact).


The first use of our new tent.

Stakes in ^

Poles in ^

Sides out ^

Rainfly on ^

Bed blown up and blankets in place ^

Tons of extra room for all our camping stuff ^

Our little campground ^

We LOVE our new tent.

It sprinkled the first night we were there and rained pretty good the second and we never got wet. We stayed really warm and cozy!

Campground provided by Circle Creek Campground.

We don't really recommend you stay here. It served its purpose for us but next time we want something more secluded and forest like. Circle creek is a huge tent field with no trees so unless you have some sort of cover you can't be outside of your tent and not get wet when it is raining.

You can also here every stinkin' word your neighbors say! No sleeping in for us, or going to bed early for that matter!

We did really enjoy our trip together though. We loved being able to do whatever and not have worry about getting back to anything. No schedule was great! It was fabulous to be just the two of us with no work and only play!

Happy Birthday Ollie Boy!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my daddy!

I love you so much and I am so grateful for you!

Even though Spencer and I are not parents yet we still celebrate Mother's Day and Father's day to honor eachother. We figure we will have children someday and right now they are spirits.

My yummy Father's Day breakfast for Spencer and I

Can you guess which plate is his? Yep, thats it, the one with no healthy stuff in sight.

Spencer has a very picky palate! He has expanded his variety since we married as I will not eat or buy white bread. Now he eats the best bread ever, Milton's Multi-Grain from Costco.

Happy Father's Day Spence!

Thanks for being such a great husband!

Happy Mother's Day Momma!

I LOVE YOU MOMMA!

HAVE A WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY!

*Side Note* I gave her the scrapbook and our new sibling pic yesterday and she loved it! She was crying before she even got to the presents, just reading the cards! Mission accomplished!
