Last Thursday, I boarded a flight along with my husband and two boys to Portland, Oregon where I grew up to spend until Tuesday visiting friends in Portland, Lincoln City and Medford. It was a jam packed few days, but so wonderful to have some much needed downtime that we rarely get, especially as a family. We started the weekend at the coast and rented a beach house with 4 other couples and their kids for a few nights — all I can say was that it was too short! I loved waking up before everyone else was up and watching the waves crash onto the beach with my coffee in hand and nothing else to do.

Curtis and I hung out in the same crowd (hard not to when we attended a small private school) and he always became friends with the guys I dated in high school, so I saw him often. He was there through the breakups, the drama, the football games, the car trouble, the concerts… and even up to his wedding day we kept in touch. Always a constant friend in my life. Audrey and I became fast friends our Sophomore year and spent hours upon hours in our school’s darkroom developing film and making photos for our yearbook all while rocking out to Beastie Boys and Cake. We worked together at McDonald’s and went through the normal friendship drama as all girls do. In […]
