Dreaming

I could make these idea boards all day...  If only I had a house to make over! 

It will be quite a while before the hubs and I ever truly settle down into a home for more than a few years, but I can dream & store my "likes" can't I? 

PS- Valentines is tomorrow! I'll be flying back to the great NW- maybe travelers and airport personnel will be extra loving and kind and surprise us with a full course romantic meal on the flight! Maybe this dreaming thing has gone a bit too far today...

Boys Weekend & Nursecation

What happens when a wife leaves her hubby for a week after he is finished with an exam and has no studying to do over the weekend... and... his old college roommate comes into town for a boy's weekend? Oh boy. I'm excited for Andrew to get to hang out with his bestie (guys don't call their friends besties do they?). None the less, I'm sure they'll have a great time and I left them only sweets and treats- so hopefully they find some more nutritious food at some point. Have fun boys! 

Get all of the video-gaming out of your system and Andrew, try to at least pretend you miss me!

 I on the other hand am having some good "girl time" with my Aunt and Grandma. Taking somewhat of a "nursecation" as I like to call it! Also known as trying to help my aunt as she recovers from a surgery. A few tidbits from my travel:

 We flew over the Grand Canyon on my way south! I wish I could have gotten a better picture!

I had to choose between Burger King and Pizza Hut for a scarfed down meal on my brief layover. Ew.

I seem to be drawn to wheelchairs... This little cove of chairs provided the perfect spot to scarf down a few bites and be ignored by the bustling group of travelers on the other side.

Howdy Houston!

Have a blessed weekend!

"Couple Friends"

I know, I know... more beach pictures. I am so in love with the beach and am more-so incredibly thankful that God has blessed us with friends who know & love Him. "Couple friends" at that! Andrew and I haven't really had many couple friends up until this point. These women not only get what it means to be married, but they get what it is like to be a wife of a medical student. Even better, we're all nurses! How much better could it get?

Tillamook Factory ~cheese & ice cream~

Rockaway Beach ~frisbee, waves, & sand~

Canon Beach ~picnic, starfish & sunsets~

Back to Portland for Pizza, Portlandia episodes, & delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookes. Good times.

The whole group!

 

Loving Momma! Christine & Sam

Christine to the rescue...

 Tillamook Cheese Factory! Yum!

Thank you Andrew for ruining the picture...

Beach Scenes

 A post full of pictures! I took so many photos on our beach trip last weekend that I decided to dedicate this post solely to scenic photos and another one to friends & fun/people pictures (here & here). So, enjoy the Oregon Coast (Cannon Beach). The photos don't even do the sunset justice, it was so beyond beautiful.

 "You rule over the surging sea when it's waves mount up, you still them."

Psalm 89:9

Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation!
