PORTLAND!!!!

A couple months ago we had the opportunity to visit Troy and Michelle (read post below). While in Oregon we thought we should also take a two day recharge. We stayed at our favorite place The Kennedy School, ate breakfast at the oh-so cool Doug Fir restaurant, had some long conversations over Ruby Ales and Terminator Stouts and really got to enjoy each others company away from home and work. It was amazing and refreshing and I love my husband and his desire to take care of me and love me. I can't believe that he signed up to love me forever but I'm really glad he did!!

Our days with Troy and Michelle...




























Pickles and Milk!




Some Matt & Molly time...
I was cranky, tired and had to pee. Don't judge.






the city.




















Patiently waiting for my delicious B.L.T.A. mmmmmmmmmm!








Hangin' around the Kennedy school...






Matty makin' me look like a corpse.

Troy, Michelle and the baby in the belly.

Time passes and friends come and go. Some move away, some simply move on. I hate change and I don't use the word "hate" freely. I like things the way they are although God repeatedly shows me that His ways involve change and it's usually better for all of us. I thank God for Troy and Michelle. Our visits with them are NEVER long enough and there are 17 hours of driving between us but our time spent with them is always quality. The example of their marriage and love for each other always speaks volumes to me and Matt. We were able to spend a couple of days with them and soak up their warmth. They are thrilled to have their first child and we can't wait to meet the little one! We love you guys so much!

HOME.

We had a silly-sushi double-date.


Michelle and I had a girly shoot that is for their eyes only but this shot was my favorite so I had to share it!

P.s. Baby Khoen Lamech was born right before Christmas! He's perfect and beautiful. What a wonderful gift!!
