Catching Up

I know I have not posted in a while but there is not much going on with us right now besides work so for most people it might be a touch boring. We are finally done with the snow and ice in our area so we are back to work and to our normal lives without having to worry about how to get somewhere or what games we are going to be playing while stuck inside with nothing to do or no place to go. Speaking of games, Circuit City is going out of business so Kyle and I wanted to check it out the other day and wound up getting Guitar Hero and some stuff for my Dad and for my PSP. It was a pretty good sale and I have to say that we have had so much fun with it so far. (It is one PS3 game that I know how to play).
We have been attending Blazer games as usual and enjoy them so matter what the outcome is even though they have been doing pretty well for the most part. After tonight's game they should be back to normal with their full squad (besides Martell Webster but we are not sure when he is coming back).
We are still working towards getting back in our own place which we have been looking forward too for quite some time. We will post about it as soon as we know of course. I will have to post some more pictures of our lives recently (especially since I have my new camera which I love). Hope all is well with everyone.

Car Brake In!!!

Today was just one of those days in which we needed to get out of our house since we have been pretty much snowed in for a week. I have not worked in over a week because of the weather so it seems like an eternity. Anyways, we decided to try and drive to the gym which was a sucess and it was nice to get out. We had a nice workout and decided since we were out we wanted to get some dinner and enjoy it while we can. We ate at Baja Fresh and when we came out our car had been broken into on the passenger side right where I sit. My yoga bag (which I take everytime I go to the gym whether it was for yoga class or not) was gone. In it was my keys,cell phone,ipod and my yoga mat of course which I had just gotten about a month ago. The window is smashed and there is glass all over the passenger side of the car. We have spent the last hour or so looking for quotes and how to get a new cell phone without having to pay an arm and a leg. I just thought I would share my frustration and for some reason it makes me feel better. Nice holiday time hugh?

Snowed In with my new Camera!!!

I know as long as I have lived here we have never had a snow day like this (or a snow week I should say). Last week it started to snow on Sunday and I didn't get to go to work all week since the weather was mild and we didn't have any of our patients coming in. That means I was stuck here at home with nothing to do but watch TLC and go to the gym, which I did only 3 times. Anyway, it is now the next Sunday and I have been off work for 10 days or so and I really miss work. With the looks of things now, I will not be going all week until things get better especially since my car is stuck in a foot plus of snow and ice. We missed the Hill Family Christmas today and it was hard not going. We will make it up by staying over at my parents on Christmas Eve to spend more time with the family we missed.
For my Christmas gift for probably the rest of my life I got a Nikon D60 camera which I have wanted for a long time and didn't think I would be able to get until it finally went on big time sale at Costco and we picked it up on Friday night. Thank goodness we did it then because as soon as Saturday morning hit, there was snow covering the streets and we could not go anywhere which means we are really snowed in!!! I have been taking a lot of pics with it though so I figured I would post some of my favorites.

Christmas Tree

Yesterday we were able to spend the morning and early afternoon up on the mountain with some of our closest friends the Morris'. We left around 9am and stopped and the famous "Joe's Doughnuts" in Sandy which I have not done for a long time. We headed up towards Mt.Hood and took a route Kyle and I had never seen which was really nice to see even though it would have been nicer if there was not as much fog. We drove towards the top of the hill, parked and walked around to find the perfect trees to cut down. We do not have our own place again yet so we didn't get a tree (they got two). I was able to take a few great pics of the kids as well as a few group shots which we have not had in a while. We had a great time with them (we always do). I will post the pics when I get home tonight or tomorrow sometime.

Cannon Beach Weekend

This past weekend Kyle and I were able to spend the weekend away in Cannon Beach. It was so nice to get away and be ourselves in one of our favorite places to go: the beach. He surprised me one night when I got home from work and told me we were going to be staying at the Surf sands Resort which was absolutely beautiful. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I wish I would have gotten more of the beautiful sunset. It was perfect. I didn't want to leave at all but reality was about to hit us Monday (going back to work) so we didn't want to leave there to late. I will go back there again for sure.

Go Blazers!!

These past couple months, Kyle and I have been dedicating ourselves to something new. The Blazers!!!! I have always been supportive of the team but this year is different. We have seen every game so far and two of those were ones we were able to see in person which were both wins! We have more games to go to and of course our 2nd annual (a new tradition) to go to the Christmas day game. I got my Brandon Roy jersey this weekend and wore it to the game on Saturday which they won of course. We are very excited and are very happy that since we get off early from our new jobs, we are able to watch the games at home or go to them at the Rose Garden. I will post some pictures as soon as I can of our new attire and a couple games we went to.

Sick on Halloween

This year Halloween was not so fun for us. I was home sick for 3 days with a bad cough and stuffed head. I should be used to it by now since it happened to me every year around this time. The weekend before we had a great time at Trina's birthday party and Karen got to come to town for it so it was great especially since we had not seen her since our wedding. The weekend Karen was here, we went to the Barlow football game and stayed the night with my family and had a great time. It was weird waking up at their house though, but nice. I am still kind of stuffed up so this blog might be all mixed up.
The new jobs are going really well and we are both enjoying them more and more every day. We will keep updated with the new jobs and such as time goes on. Happy late Halloween!!
