Engaged!

So, Paul and I went to Bend over the weekend, to celebrate his birthday and finally getting 4 days off. We had a great time hiking, walking around the cute downtown, dining out, and sampling those great NW microbrews. :) But the best part of the weekend had to be the part when he asked me to marry him. I can't get over how lucky I feel to have finally met this guy - he's exactly who I always pictured marrying. Somebody should pinch me because I feel like I'm still floating...

My buddy, Paul

In addition to a busy winter travel schedule and a few weddings and family gatherings, I also managed to meet the sweetest, most handsome, and charming guy ever: my buddy Paul. We met on a blind date in January (thank you match.com!), and the rest is history.

This is a picture we took while we were in Vegas for a long weekend in March. We had such a great time! We haven't taken too many pictures, but the summer should bring some fun adventures so I'll be sure to take some more. Isn't he cute? :)

Just getting started...

So, after seeing Marika's, Dale's, Chris's, and the Shank Family's blogs, I thought I'd give it a try and see how it looks. I'm not good at keeping daily logs, but I do like to post pictures from my travels and trips to see family and friends. We'll see if I stick to it. Let me know what you think.

These pictures are from a trip to L.A. a few weeks ago when Kristin & I went to see Ryan, Derek, and Meg, and see Derek play in a live Goldspot show. We had a blast at the concert, and as usual, had a lot of fun hanging with our bros and our new sis-in-law.
