So, it's been awhile....

So, I realize it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything! Life has been very busy and exciting! I will be updating very very soon!!

What we've been up to!

Well I forget to update this blog all the time. A lot has happened since the last post. Jason and I are all settled in our home in Washington. Jason's job is going great and I just received a position as a therapy assistant and will be working with Autistic children. I am so excited for this opportunity as I have the education I need I just need more experience! Right now two of our friends from Cali. moved up here and are living with us for the time being, I love it! I have really missed my friends so the more that I can get to move here the better! :) I have been doing a lot of photography and really love it. My brother was visiting and really helped me out, giving me pointers and teaching me everything I need to know. Photography is a lot more complicated then I thought, but it makes me love it that much more! Here are some photos of our new home and some of the photography I've been taking!

Jason's Goodbye

Jason had to head up to Washington before me for our move! His new job starts very soon, but I still needed time to get everything together down here. So sadly Jason has to leave and we'll be apart for 3 weeks!!! Thats probably the longest we've ever been apart. Its going to be a lonely three weeks for us both but I think we're going to be so busy preparing for this move that it will fly by!! Here are some pics from the bbq we had at his parents before he goes.

Jason's family

For a week Jason and I got to go to Morro Bay for a family trip. I got to spend time with my two of my brothers, one of my sisters and some of my neices and nephews! We also got to spend time with my cousins and aunt and uncle which all of them live in Canada so I don't get to see them much!We brought Jake and even though he's all about the water, he was not a happy dog when we first got there but finally started to feel better towards the end of the trip. We got to boogie board, swim, tan and take lots of walks on the beach!! Here are some photos from the trip.

Washington

Jason and I went up to Washington for a week, we stayed with his Aunt and Uncle in Maple Valley. On the drive up and down we got to stay at my brothers in Portland, OR and I got to play with my adorable nephew Silas! We were able to do a lot which was sooooo much fun. I haven't been to Washington since a couple years after high school, after I use to visit every summer. So here are some of the photos from the trip! Enjoy!!!

Oldies

I love finding old photos! I love taking pictures so I decided to put some up just for fun.
