COAST

Steve and I are headed to the coast... to celebrate a friend's birthday.  Expecting a pretty good evening with bon-fires, brews, and good conversation. 

Note: Obviously we are not going to this beach.  But it's worth dreaming about. 

CHEERS to the Weekend

What an exceptional weekend I had.  It all started Friday, dinner at my house with Steve and my mom, then off to Maria's 27th Birthday at Blitz.  It was a great time.... got to spend time with friends, play some shuffleboard, and of course honor the birthday girl!

Saturday began with a run on Marine Drive, then prepared for a fabulous evening celebrating Dan and Gemma Daw's wedding.  The ceremony was a joy, followed by pre-reception tailgating, and then the real celebration began at the reception which was held at Oregon Golf Club.  It was a outrageous party with lots of dancing, great music, good drinks, an appearance from Elvis, and even some shirtless genetlmen.

 

Sunday was a day of recuperation from the weekend.... spent the morning with my nephew James, made delicious soup, and went to a movie with Steve at McMenamin's Kennedy School.

Hate to see the weekend end and start my Monday!!  Boo-Who!

AUTZEN

What a game.... Always great to see the DUCKS win.  

It was a fun evening celebrating an engagement of some friends, cheering for the Ducks, 

tailgating with other fans, and being with Steve.

AZ

This last weekend.... took myself a mini-vacay with Steve.  We went to Arizona for his sister's wedding reception, as well as the Oregon State vs. Arizona State football game.  We also got to enjoy lots of sun, hot weather, and good company.  We went to an awesome bar called The Big Bang Bar, which was a dueling piano bar.... and NO it was nothing like The Barrel Room.  Way better!!!  Steve and I drove through Tucson and checked out University of Arizona campus.  It was a fun vacation.... sucked coming back to rainy, cold weather and returning to work.

At a Brewery near ASU campus, Gordon Biersch. 

Cheering on OSU at the game with lots of friends.... Rough loss but still a good time.  

Ran into a few Cacti... who would have thought?

At the wedding reception.  His sister, Kristy and her husband Jack got married in Hawaii a few weeks ago but through a reception for friends and family.  It was a blast.  She looked beautiful.... perfect weather.... and the music was great.  Steve and I own the dance floor.
