oregon adventures (day 2).
So, I had the goal of updating the ol’ blog at the end of each day during Becca’s stay in hopes of remembering everything that we did. Obviously, that didn’t happen, but hopefully I’ll be able to keep...

oregon adventures (day 3).
We spent the third day of Becca’s visit at the coast. The Oregon coast is absolutely gorgeous, and about as different as it can get from the east coast. The cliffs just drop off into the ocean. It’s...

oregon adventures (day 4).
This was, by far, my favorite day of Becca’s visit (and I think her favorite, as well). We left Eugene nice and early for the long drive to Hood River, Oregon (my absolute favorite town in this state)....

This weekend’s Ally Day killed it. Now that grad school is back in full swing, we’re back to celebrating Ally Days on the weekends (if Eric is in town, which is becoming increasingly rare). This means...

Last week was Eric’s spring break (and possibly the last official spring break of our lives, unless he decides to get his PhD someday). Since I have the most flexible job in the world, we decided to...

After visiting Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and San Diego, we wrapped up our spring break trip with a drive up the California coast. Let me tell you, California is a long state. It was...

I am one quarter of a century old. Eric hit this milestone last year, and I’ve been dreading it’s arrival for quite some time. I know that in the grand scheme of things, 25 is still very young, but my...
