Random Stuff

We finally settled on a new place, Canyon Creek Apartments and I (yes, just me) will be moving April 19th. Lucky Wes gets to miss out on yet another move! Don't worry, we are getting movers.

If anyone wants to see a decent movie, Shutter Island was actually pretty good. I was so caught up in to movie that I didn't even lay my head down once during the entire thing and that is saying something since I have been known to fall asleep on Wes' shoulder a time or two.

Sid will soon be a new and improved pooch. He will be starting obedience training next week. I am SO excited. I have wanted to train him since the day we adopted him and now I finally found an affordable place that fits my schedule. I can't wait!

For my birthday, we decided to do my something a little different. Usually we go to a nice dinner but this year, Wes and I decided to go to brunch. There is this cute little place downtown, Mother's Bistro. It was awesome! After brunch, we spent some time at the Saturday Market. We had such a nice morning. We even hit up our favorite booth, Ja Das Dessert. The sweet potato cupcakes are THE best cupcakes I have ever had!

Wes is leaving tomorrow. I will miss him a bunch but I think he will really have some great stories to tell when he gets back!

Great Hiking



Last week Wes and I enjoyed this beautiful hike along the Columbia River. The picture below is the view from the top. It was amazing.
Next on our list--Crater Lake.

Just another update

Just thought I would let you know how the new job is going. So far, I am loving it. I am working with a great crew of RDs in a great facility. It doesn't hurt that I get free lunches too! The commute is a bugger but that shouldn't last long. We are thinking of moving to Wilsonville early May. That will cut my commute down to 30 minutes instead of an hour. After looking at apartments and finding some good ones within our price range, Wes and I are both excited for the move. We're upgrading to a 2 bedroom so visitors are welcome!

Not sure if you know where Wes is headed to next so here is the 411. March 29th he will be leaving for 5 weeks to Desecheo. It's a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico. He will be working to protect seabirds. Sorry, that's really all I know. I kind of keep my nose out of the details. Pretty much I just make sure I know when he is coming and going and if I need to pick him up from the airport.

Just another FYI, this weekend I'm running a 5K with Kari. Wish me luck!
