When it rains...

It's been a crazy March! We were in California for 2 weeks for a baby shower thrown by my parents and for a wedding Rich officiated.

The shower was amazing. My mom did a fantastic job coordinating everything: decorations, food and friends.

We felt so blessed to have such a varied room full of women there to support and love on us. We truly appreciate everyone that came.

We had people travel from southern, northern and western California just to be there.

The wedding was simply gorgeous.

Jeff and Kim called Rich back in October and asked him if he'd be willing to marry them. Rich was honored and excited. The ceremony went off without a hitch! It was both truthful and personal. I loved seeing him up there in this role and hearing his wisdom spoken to 200 people.

Singles Awareness Day Remembered

I remember one Valentines Day in 4th grade where my boyfriend brought me a plate full of stale chocolates. We didn't last long.
I remember one Valentines Day in college when my mom sent my roommate and I a care package with heart underwear in it. They were suprisingly comfortable.
I remember one Valentines Day when Rich made me chocolate covered peanut butter bon bons. We've lasted :)

I remember one Valentines Day in 5th grade where I didn't get a card from a girl in my class I had a crush on. I was heart broken.
I remember one Valentines Day when I took Christen out to a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean and we had our first kiss.
I remember one Valentines Day when we first moved to Oregon and we had a fabulous dinner at Timberline Lodge. On the drive home, I took a wrong turn due to snow and didn't realize it until an hour later down the road.
