busy, busy, busy...

We've had a crazy couple of weeks helping our friends move out of their apartment and immediately moving into it:) We also were allowed to paint!!! YAY! we were super excited to make this new place our own since we are planning to stick here for the next 2 years. We (I) decided to paint an accent wall red while leaving the rest a neutral tan color. Little did I know that there are like 2 million colors of "tan"! After several trips to Home Depot, a frantic call to Emily, and a pep talk from my mom, we decided on "desert camel" and it's PERFECT! :)

isn't this a GREAT red!?

Brandon's favorite job....not!

taking a quick break

the ACTUAL red:)

our bedroom housed everything while we painted

and our neighboors, nate and jodie, have started a small garden in our shared side yard. We were super excited to join. Somehow we feel that growing our own food is a very "Portland" thing to do:) plus, there is just nothing like eating a tomato from your own garden! As you can see, Brandon is beside himself about the "beefsteak tomato" plant:)

other plants we will be eating from: lettuce, zuchinni, squash, walla walla onions, jalepenos, green bell peppers, and cilantro! WOO HOO!!!


And here is the finished product! Yay for our efforts in eating organic.

sun!

it has been WAAAAY too beautiful to stay in and blog:) sorry for the lack of posts, but this is probably what it will be like all summer if the weather is this great!
my first full, normal week with sam ended last thursday. i thoroughly (sp?) enjoyed my 3 day weekend! just a quick rundown: coffee and good conversation, hanging out with friends, lots of tennis, moving our stuff into the new apartment, and a relaxing sunday with my hubby. perfecto! sorry no pics...again...too distracted by this gorgeous weather:)

Sam

Here's Sam:) I started this past Tuesday. He's a sweet sweet baby and a great sleeper! Not many stories to tell so far, but just wanted to share the cute baby.

New Hair:)

so i'm not thrilled of pictures of just me, but here is my new hair! it's sooo much eaiser and the 10 inch ponytail went to a great cause. Yay for short hair!
