Happiness is...

Pumpkin spice steamer from Starbucks. Pumpkin scone. Driving through a canopy of trees with Tony. Rainy fall morning in Oregon. Stacked pumpkins. Climbing a pyramid of hay with Rocky. Exploring a new bridge.

All of the above equal... my Saturday morning date with my favorite person in the whole wide world :)

For Tony...

We saw this on our way to take engagement pictures downtown. Needless to say... Tony got a bit excited :) Tony and I hope to catch a few games at the Rose Garden this season. We can't wait!



Go Spurs Go! :)

Bridal Shower!

For the short week that I was in Utah after my internship ended and before I came out to Portland I had the chance to spend time with friends! Two of my good friends, Anna and Tanei, threw a bridal shower for me. It was seven months before the wedding, but it was so wonderful to celebrate with friends that I love and miss so much. Here are some pictures from the shower:

One of the games was a contest of making wedding dresses out of toilet paper!

It was a great afternoon with delicious food and a lot of laughter. Thanks again Anna and Tanei! I have the best friends :)

I survived the move..

Over the last month I've been moving in to my new place in Portland. Tony and I were able to be reunited after almost two months of not seeing each other! That was the best part :)

My mom helped me drive my things in a U-haul from Provo to Portland. While in town, she was also able to meet Tony's parents and his sweet sister Amy and her family. Tony and I also found a wedding photographer and took engagement pictures. The first weekend went by too quickly and I had to face the reality of a room with no furniture and plenty of boxes to be unpacked. But here I am, emerging from a now unpacked room with everything that I need but a job... That will hopefully be remedied soon :)

Here is a picture from the moving weekend. My mom and I drove to Pullman, WA to surprise Tony instead of taking two days to drive to Portland. It was so much fun to knock on his apartment door to see him open it with his expression of complete surprise and bewilderment.

Two months was way too long to be apart! More updates soon!
