The finale that was grand:
We moseyed over to Multnomah Falls on our road trip back to P-Land. Talk about the perfect day to visit; it had rained only two days before, so the falls were fresh and magnificently fierce. The sun shined through the looming mist, the air smelt crisp, and Oregon glimmered vibrantly, saturated in technicolor beauty.
Our stomach’s were rumbling loud gurgles, exaggerating the extent of their hunger, so our stay was short but sweet. Next time we’d definitely like to hike to the top of the falls. Well Drew would like to, and I’d be happy if I was towed in a wagon with a built in mister, [...]

Our Travels: A trek from Portland city to Mount Hood.
The excuse for all our adventures finally arrived! Brittany & Stephen were scheduled to marry. So, with our cameras in tow, and anticipation in heart, Saturday morning called us to the foot of a gigantic mountain.
At the bridal cabin, we prepared for the long day ahead with absolute essentials: A mug of hot coffee, eggs over-easy, and an awesome conversation on the wrap-around porch. We sipped, and spoke, commenting on the serenity a silent town offers– so far away from mayhem we shamelessly enjoy. Andrew and I spoke about the nature of strength. He reminded me, “Even our strengths, out of [...]

And so it goes…
We woke up at 4:00 am, for a flight out of SNA at 6:45. My sweet mother chauffeured us to the airport, while I sipped coffee and whimpered for all the people already on the road in route to work, at such a wretched hour.
I don’t see 4am very often, and although it could have been the fog still looming in my mind from a partial night’s sleep, the world looked serene before dawn. Calm, dreamy, less glamorous, but maybe more beautiful– much like a woman upon waking.
Drew and I sat in front of our gate, while he searched “plane crash statistics” on the internet. I sat [...]

It was a beautiful holiday in the blistering sun:
We parted with the lovely city of Orange, and rocked out to Lilly Allen all the way to Marina del Rey.

Got to the boat, with paintbrushes and paint in hand, ready to give the old Sea Bird another coat.

But as excited as I was to roll up my sleeves, all I could think about was reading and napping.
So I read (and napped) in the V-birth, which makes for a cozy little fort.
Drew went to work and did a bunch of manly things.
I promise I’ll be a better help next time, darlin’.

I woke up just in time for our standard dock lunch. The [...]

My all time fav blog post has been MIA. For far far too long.
Before the launch of this incredible blog (gifted to me by Andrew Schey) I had a humble little Blogspot. On that Blogspot was a documentary of my first trip to New York. My excursions in NY are some of my fondest memories yet– it was a time in my life where new seeds were being sewn, a season marked by personal liberation and rejuvenation.
East Coast culture made me feel alive; something about the trip truly awakened me. My senses were excited, my heart beat out of my chest in anticipation of each new sun rising (which I [...]
