View From the Top

This is the view from my parents condo of snowy Portland Oregon, we have about a foot of snow! I guess it is gonna be a white Christmas! :)

Winter Wonderland

Im here! I arrived in Portland right before the "big" snow storm hit. It is beautiful and frigid here. Last night was my dads office Christmas party, and due to the snow we walked there. below are some family snow pics. :)



This is Andrea. She works for my dad in the graphics department. Our moms were pregnant with us and in the same birthing class. There were four couples in that class and all of the dads were architects. My mom has been talking about Andrea since she started working for my dad..."remember andrea..." I have told her on more than one occasion that I don't remember her...we were in the womb. Well, now I finally know Andrea...she is great! It was one of those..."I feel like I have know you my whole life..." moments. And apparently we have...in-utero :)

SNOW!

Tomorrow morning I am flying home for Christmas...and this year to snow! I have not been home when it has snowed and stuck around since 2004. Last year it snowed on Christmas day for 2 hours, but none of it stuck around. They say there are supposed to get 6 or more inches...woo hoo! I'm going to freeze my butt off :) I am so excited to see my beautiful Portland covered in snow!

Here are a few pictures of the last time I got to experience snow in Portland (since then my parents have moved right on the waterfront)

I miss her

Kelsey left on Wednesday for Greece...I miss her!

So far this past month has been a whirlwind, hence the lack of blogging. I have moved out of my cute apartment that I shared with Kelsey for the past 2 1/2 years and am now renting a room from a family. Unfortunately I seemed to have misplaced my camera cord in the move so it might be awhile before any new pictures of where I am living get posted.

I miss her, it was weird enough not coming home to kelsey anymore, but at least we still had our cell phones, and she was only a few miles down the road. Now, she is a whole ocean away. There are many time during the past few days since she has left that I go to call her, or text her and have to remind myself that I can't do that anymore. So Kelsey just so you know, you will never be out of sight out of mind...I miss you!!
