a new job

This is where I work now!

I get to teach little kids. They are definitely younger than first grade, but I think it is going to be tons of fun. 

(and there will be TONS of stories)

Benefits to having this job:

• I get to work with little kids.
• The preschool is brand new with awesome supplies (like a Smart Board)!
• It is about fifteen minutes away.
• I have about 400 different options concerning transportation to my new job. Today I drove. The drive involves the Pearl District, Pioneer Square, and beautiful views all up and down the river. Tomorrow I am going to take the MAX (it's like the BART in San Francisco). 
• The building is right next to OHSU, seriously like 5 seconds away. That means that if I get a lunch break at the same time as Adam, we can party together!
• Did you look at the pictures on that link up above? Need I say more. I mean really, an indoor playground? Super legit.

So yes, I am excited. I will keep you posted with stories and such in the coming weeks. 

Love you all!

a trip to the coast

This week has been wonderful. On Wednesday, we took a trip to the coast of Oregon. 

It is definitely not quite the same as Newport, California, but hey... a beach is a beach, mossy rocks and all.

 We also stopped by the Tillamook cheese factory. Delicious! 

P.S. If you ever want to stop eating cheese, just watch a video of it being made.

Love the beach, love my house, love my life.

grand celebration

Hello friends! So sorry that it has been so long since I have last posted. I promise to be good now and post more often. There sure are a lot of changes since I've last put pictures up! 

1. We graduated! =D
2. We live in beautiful (and rainy) Portland!
3. We are in love with our new apartment, complete with dishwasher, washer, and dryer.
4. We went to Disneyworld on a Grand Celebration with the family.

Here are some fun pictures from our disneyworld trip.

The whole family!

 Adam and I in front of Epcot.

 Adam, Mikey, and I in front of the line for Toy Story Mania. This is seriously one of the best rides I have ever been on. It is SO much fun. Mikey even got rope burn from getting so into the thing. That's a bit much for me, but I can see how it might just happen. haha

 On my tour around the world (Morocco).

 Adam and I at HARRY POTTER WORLD! We had so much fun. This is Hogsmeade in the background. There is also a Hogwarts replica, complete with awesome ride. We drank butter beer, got chocolate frogs, went to Olivander's, and saw the actors Fred and George. True story.

 We went to Blizzard Beach!

 We saw Cinderella's castle!

 This is on the beach where we stayed. Our hotel was beautiful!

 A good ol' picture with Mr. Potato Head.

 Mama and I getting ready to get on the boat to go to Magic Kingdom!

 This is the coolest restaurant ever. It's a restaurant where they show Sci-Fi movies from the 50's and you eat in cute little cars. There is even a real looking night sky around you. It is AWESOME.

We had so much fun on our Grand Celebration! I want to go back to Orlando right now! Love you all... be back soon!
