Almost famous

Today I got on my blog and found 5 comments! It's not even my birthday. I love comments.
I have set up a link to my photo blog from this blog so those who want to view it don't have to look for my last post about it.
I started my photography class tonight. I love it. We are going to learn some really neat things.
I am feeling inspired to go back to school...real school. I talked with my teacher (he teaches for UVU) and he gave me some great tips on going back to collage. I felt really motivated. I visited UVU about two weeks ago and talked with a counselor. We'll see how it all goes over the next month. If things go well I will start summer semester.
Wish me luck.

Home Sweet Home

We made it home today! I can't tell you how much I love coming home from vacations. I like to get all of the laundry going as soon as we walk through the door and get all of the luggage put away. I started digging for food right away too. Because we don't shop on Sunday...We ended up with Navajo taco's. Well....Chili and scones with sour cream.

Strange as it would seem, I did have all the ingredients to make a lemon Meringue pie. Both grand parents stopped by to hug Max. Kevin and Kenton came too. We are so happy to be home.

on our way

We started our trip back home today. We made it as far as Boise. I promised Curtis we could stop at Stans. This is his dinner.
I guess if you order "the works" the hot dog wont fit in your mouth.


Max gave the hot dog maker a tip. The employee gave Max a free ice cream.

He ate it at first but when he found out we had fries - well...he moved on.

We were tired of being in the car so we took a swim, popped pop corn and watched Oceans 13.

Another fun vacation.

Portland

Our last day in Portland was a rainy one.

When Curtis was done with work, we headed to town. Due to our love of the travel channel, we decided to go to Voodoo Doughnuts. We saw it on Man vs. food.

Turns out...its just a dougnut. Curtis ordered the Voodoo doughnut. It was rasberry filled shaped like a voodoo doll and had a pretzle stuck in the white iceing hart. I had a maple covered bavarian cream filled someting. It had a creapy name but I can't remember it.

It was still raining but we had paid $6 for parking so we thought we should get our money's worth. After passing through china town and a few adult shops...we decded we were in the wrong part of town to be walking around after dark. We decided it would be the perfect night to be in our hotel watching a movie. Our GPS said it would be a 20 minute drive back to our hotel but with the trafic, it took us almost an hour.

This pizza delivery bike is the
coolest thing we saw on our little walk through portland.

Oregon...Check.

I have a goal to make it to all 50 states. Today we arived in Oregon! This is my first time here. Curtis took us to see the Multnomah Falls. They were beautiful.
I bet you wish you had come with us.


This is the gift shop/restaraunt. I asked Curtis if we could move in. I found it totaly enchanting.

Mold has never looked better.
