Taking the Next Step

A few weekends ago, Megan and I headed north to Cle Elum,Wa to celebrate our good friend Michelle's bachelorette party. We spent the whole weekend in a beautiful cabin dancing, eating, and reminiscing on our favorite moments with Michelle.  She is such a great girl and I'm so happy for her to take the next step! This was actually my first bachelorette party but I am already headed to another one next weekend. 

When life gives you a boat...

...make sure you are aware of how lucky you are.  I'm so happy that one of my close friends has this beautiful boat.  We spent our Saturday basking in the sun on the Columbia River and talking about how we will spend our summer on it.  All I know is, it better happen because there's something about being out on the water is so relaxing. 

Palm Springs Escape

 Lindsey and I flew into Palm Springs, California for Memorial Day weekend with laying out, playing cards, and eating being the only things on the agenda.  It has been a much anticipated and needed trip.  I think we booked it for the perfect time since the rain had just come back in Portland.  You can always count on the desert to maintain hot weather.  We even lucked out considering it was above 100 degrees before we got there, but dropped to the low 90's for our 3 day stay.  I hate "honeymoon" vacations though! I think there should be a free photographer available to individuals traveling in pairs because getting pictures together would be that much easier. I think I've also discovered I have a little obsession with palm trees. 

I want to share a pretty funny sign posted at our pool, and ask what had to happen to get this sign put up?!

Tulip Festival

This weekend we got in the car with Tim McGraw's greatest hits and headed South to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.  So many beautiful tulips that I wish I could shower our apartment with. Funny thing...I saw this little Asian boy doing funny things in the field and laughed then aimed my camera at him, but he saw and slowly lowered himself down between the tulips! Can you spot him?

Oh well..I have these two funny friends to take pictures of in them...

One of my favorite things about living in Portland are the Portland Trailblazers. I mean who doesn't love a stadium filled with crazy fans and endless amounts of food?  I could have done without the Laker fans last night...and a win would have been nice.  But we did get free Chalupas and I got myself some ice cream, so it was pretty much a win for me.
