Gettin' The Word Out!

How cool is this! These were made by a guy named Chris Gutendof in Corvallis. He also does the posters for The Badfish Band who are amazingly talented. Anyways, all I gave him was some info and a couple of pictures and I got this back. Thanks man! I am just so excited about them I had to share it with you all. Love It!

Weekend Done and I'm Wasted!

**

Weh!! What a weekend I had! Oh my word. So I just realzed that these are going from Sunday to Friday instead of Friday to Sunday...but I don't care. So, for father's day I bought my dad and I tickets to see the imfamous Dr. Demento in Seattle at the Triple Doors. If you ever get a chance to see a show there do it. It is an amazing place with the best customer service I've ever experienced. We sang all the classics "Dead Puppies" "Fish Heads" "They're coming to take me away hehe" and of course "The lumberjack song". Once the show was finished, along with some great food and long lost memories we went to bed for the weekend ahead. Hey that rymed :D

**

We boarded a train at 8am the next morning headed for Philomath. Finally arriving it was off to Ruby Tuesday's for Emmas 22nd (WHAAAT!?!) birthday. When dinner was done we went and watched the sunset and drank some beers with her buds. It was super fun.

**

The next morning I woke up after 2 hours of sleep at 4 to catch the train. Note to others, do not go out drinking the night before you have to take a 4 hour train ride. It was the longest ride of my life. Finally I arrived home, still naucious, cranky and very tired to take a 2 hour nap...which put my sleep count up to 4 hours. UGH! That night we went and watched my favorite band Amadan sing finally in my own town! Amadan, I will always rally for you :D It was lots of fun and I miss seeing them. They are a great band and everyone should find them.

Well, that's it for now. Catch y'all on the flip side!

A Friendly Reminder

This year I am walking for my father in the walk for diabetes on October 11th in Portland, Oregon. I am seeking donations in order to raise money for the research and hopefully cure for this disease. This is a very important cause to me and has greatly affected my family.

If there is anyway, any of you can make a donation, I would greatly appreciate it. If only 103 people donate $15 I can reach my goal of $2,500 by October. That's only 3 or 4 cups of morning coffee!! Please visit the site below for more information.

3 weddings, 2 weeks

Can I just say how tired I am? That was way to many weddings in a short amount of time. I first went to Kathy and Chris Kohler's wedding. It was very beautiful. They held it on their 4 1/2 year anniversary. It was beautiful. They included their daughters which was very sweet. At first I was nervous to see everyone. I mean I hadn't seen them in years. Once I saw everyone it was like we had just hung out only a week ago. Later we went to the Rodeo. I saw almost everyone I ever went to high school with. Since I had cut my hair it was nice to just sit back and watch everyone.

This week Jed and I went to Hunter and Val's wedding. The rehearsal was very fun. A quick run through, a formal dinner and then beer with all of their friends until the wee hours of the morning. Without a doubt it was the most emotional and romantic wedding I've ever been to. Never have I witnessed such love between a couple. You could almost feel it through their eyes as they said "I Do" The wedding was wonderful and Val was exquisite. Her dress was incredible. Everything went off just as it should. Jed was even touched by the love that was in the air. When I asked what made this different he just said "It's not a wedding, it's their wedding. It's Hunter and Val" and it's true, there is no love like theirs.

The next morning we went wine tasting. Mmm there were some very delicious wines. I discovered I enjoy port wines. I've never had one, but fresh from the barrel they were delicious. Later we drove home and in the hour we had I changed to go to Erin and Jeremy's wedding. I met Erin in January and she truly mad me feel like I was a bit more home. The wedding was all that was discussed for months...now what are we doing to talk about at work? Haha It was a wonderful wedding. The funnest couple I know. They are truly meant for each other. Oh and their cake exchange was the best that I have ever seen. Allll over the face. I'm sad my camera died or I'd had a wonderful photo to show.

Well speaking of photos, this should keep you all busy for awhile. Enjoy :)
