Camping...

So Thursday night we decided to head out camping with Caela, Ben, and friends. I did not realize that where we were going, Kimberly, was a 4 1/2 hour drive from Portland. Are we crazy or what?! So Thursday night we don't end up making it there until about 1 am. So this makes for not much sleep, given that we woke up at the next morning when the sun came up and heated our wonderful tent to a good 100 degrees! Not the most pleasant thing to wake up to, that's for sure.
The property we were on was beautiful though and Ben made us quite the little set-up. He spent all day making a latrine for everyone to use, there was a food hut, a stage for people to play on and a beer pong table set-up. What more amenities could you need in the wilderness. We were on about 100 acres of property that one of his friends lived on. They had a whole bunch of mules and a couple donkeys, which were fun to pet, I wish I stayed longer and rode one (I heard they took them on a trail hike today). I was unfortunate that Morgan and I had to leave early Saturday morning to make it to yet another ron of my dentist appointments, but alas, we had to. Unfortunately I can not reschedule anything if I want to get everything done before graduation!
Friday night was amazing! The boys had stuffed a 290 lb. pig and put it in the ground to cook for 24 hours. They dug it up Friday night and we had the pleasure of eating some very good meat! I was very grateful to Ben for the wonderful job he did putting this whole trip together. His brother and sister-in-law are also a very prepared couple. They were a lot of fun too!
Overall the weekend was a success! Except for having to come home early on Saturday...I wish we could have stayed another night, we met some great people and had a lot of fun!

Beachy Weekend!

Totally forgot! Last weekend we went to the beach...unfortunately the weather wasn't as nice as it was in Portland. We did get some awesome smoked salmon at Barnacle Bills in Lincoln City though!
Apparently if I try to post from my phone the picture won't show up! How disappointing.

Sunburn weekend

I know it's been awhile...we all get busy. I had a tooth pulled Monday, no fun. I've been recovering slowly since then. Morgan has been nicely dealing with my diet of mashed potatoes... That he has been making ;)
We are starting a fitness program on Monday! We'll see the results soon...I hope it's as good as it looks. It'll be nice to be in shape again! For both of us.
So, I played 2 lacrosse games this morning, in 70-80 degree weather! Hence the sunburns! We won both games, but sadly it wasn't good enough to make playoffs tomorrow. If only we had enough players when we were in Seattle and didn't have to forfeit 2 games. What do you do? Can't turn the clock back.
I have to say, today was beautiful! We had 7 subs,so plenty of breaks, which is amazing, given we don't always have a full team. I didn't know we had so many players it was nice to see old faces.
Now I have tomorrow off, no games to play, and it's supposed to be even nicer, so we'll see what we get into....

Yet another busy weekend!

Another weekend full of stuff!!! We left for Seattle at 5:00 pm on Friday, and actually made good time for once! It was amazing.
We spent some time Friday night, hanging out with friends. Then, Saturday morning it was back to Marymoor Park again, and back on the lacrosse field. Unfortunately we didn't have enough players on Saturday and had to forfeit our two games. We borrowed a couple players from other teams and still played for fun. It was sad we had to forfeit because we won the first game 11-5, but what do you do?
Saturday night we went to a lovely dinner at Claim Jumper with the fam to celebrate Caela's 22nd birthday!!! It was a wonderful dinner. We got to see the biggest piece of cake ever, it was about 6 layers and bigger than my forearm!!!
We then took Caela out for some birthday drinks. It was fun to hang out with my sis'. Although we live in the same state, we never get to see each other, it's sad. After a night of bonding I had to return her to grandma and mom and headed off to play more lacrosse.
Sunday was great! We had a couple more players from our team show up, so we didn't have to forfeit! We won both our games, yeah!!! It was beautiful weather, I got a little sunburn on my shoulders even. It was a fun weekend, although by the time we left Morgan was sick (swine flu!). It was great to be up in my birth city two weeks in a row! It really makes me miss the city and my friends and family.
This weekend...no plans, just working on Mother's Day, unfortunately my mom lives too far away to take to lunch. Sad :( We'll see what this week has in store!
