This man you see me kissing in the picture is my best friend Dan. He also happens to be my husband.
It’s hard to put into words how much he means to me. I feel so blessed to have him by my side through life’s journey and I get so excited thinking about what the future still has in store for us.
What I am not, Dan is.

I can’t believe with all the beautiful women in this world, he chose me to be his wife. I love you Daniel Dale. My heart belongs to you.

Birthday Weekend!











One of my fabulous friends made her way out to Portland this past weekend to celebrate my 26th birthday with me. We celebrated the big day with a night of food, cocktails & photo booth fun. We spent the rest of the weekend catching up on the last few years of our life and ended up at a winery on Sunday.
I couldn't imagine my life without her in it. I love you D and thank you for a great weekend!
*P.S. My husband is also grand and I will post more on him later ;)

i heart fashion.






My friend Nicola and I attended a fashion show put on by the Portland Art Institute last night. As you could imagine, I was in my element.

Of course, a night of fashion and heals wouldn't be complete without some fabulous martinis at The Vault ;)

Wonderlust


Sometimes my mind wonders to far away lands...

I can't wait until we are packing up for another adventure across the world, but until then I will be present in the now and see where that takes us.


I'm super jealous of my crazy sister Ky-Ky who has grabbed her backpack, a good friend and a blank passport for her 1st trip abroad. I wish her happy travels!

Sauvie Island


Spent the afternoon with our 'daughter' walking around Sauvie Island.

Picked up some strawberries on the way home to make some yummy strawberry shortcake.

Small Surprises






We didn't start this blog because we feel our life is extraordinary, in fact, we think it's pretty ordinary. But we wanted to look back 10 yrs from now and see what our ordinary thoughts were and where life has taken us...

Today, I was grinning from ear to ear and slighly gitty after Burger and I stopped by Blue Moon Camera shop in our little neighborhood to pick up some film that we finally had developed after a year of collecting dust. Looking at old photos always makes the memories of days past come rushing back like it was just yesterday that we were walking around our favorite city snapping pictures.

To add to a great morning, we discovered a great breakfast joint in downtown Portland called Cafe Bijou. The french toast made with bread from the Pearl Bakery and Farmer's Omlette were a perfect combination to share between the two of us. With our bellies full we waddled over to the Portland Art Museum to check out the M.C. Escher exhibit. (The First gift I ever received from Burger was a framed Escher print). I did forget to mention the museum was sandwiched between shopping for some real art...SHOES!! ;)

P.S. Burger suprised me with my favorite food last night, Alaskan King Crab. Served with mashed potatoes and a nice bottle of vino. Love him.
