We went to the beach!

March 12, 2013

This past weekend we drove to the beach! We met our friends from Eugene and they brought their adorable dog along. Woo! I’m pretty sure the rest of the week will be pictures from the weekend. I hope you don’t mind.

Our first full day there we hit the beach in the morning and watched as Sawyer (the dog) played on the beach for the first time and took lots of pictures of her. We watched the waves coming in and out, we watched people horseback riding down the beach, we tried to ride our (borrowed) bikes down the beach.

I also made sure to warn everyone not to turn their backs to the sea. I followed my warning until Walker instructed me to turn my back to it to get a picture of our feet in the surf. Guess who got their boots full of water? Right, me. I was soaked and Walker got just a little splash. So it goes. We all had a good laugh and made our way back to home base. I changed and continued to enjoy the sunny day we had been blessed with.

A date in the morning

March 7, 2013

This past weekend we woke up to a beautiful sunny day (kind of rare around these parts). Walker asked if I wanted to go get a crepe. Of course I do, yes. I love when he suggests going out. We walked the couple of blocks to a coffee shop right near our place and chose a spot outside. It was kind of chilly but the parts of us in the sun were warm. I got a chai latte and Walker got a coffee and we split a delicious crepe ( blue cheese, smoked salmon, and kale). Breakfast dates are fun and it was a great start to the day.

Some sushi

March 6, 2013

I had a long day today. I made an appointment with a tax man and he was located about an hour away by bus. Since we don’t have a car here this was my option. I spent about an hour with the tax man and left with my taxes done but knowing I needed to send in a big ol check to the IRS-fun. Then I had to ride the bus back home. After my big day I decided I would like to unwind with some sushi. I have been wanting to try some here for a while now and today seemed like the perfect day. I couldn’t decide between two but since they were about a block apart Walker suggested we try them both. Ha! Perfect. Why didn’t I think of that? It was a nice way to end the day.

So I think next week I may write up a little post about taxes. I often see the fun side of things in the blogging/handmade business world but sometimes we have to get down to the nitty gritty. I’ll share some of what I’ve learned, what’s been helpful, what I could improve, and whatever else might be useful. Sounds exciting, right? Well no but informative, yes.
