Now that's love :D

Real:) A gift from Adam on our way to the beach ♥

Lots of ♥ in 1 year :)

Monday June 4th, Adam and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary with a surprise dinner at Portland City Grill- Adam knows how to spoil me...with delish food! I am also now the proud owner of a B-E-A-utiful pair of diamond earrings ♥ Adam picked them because they are unique like me:) black and white diamonds that look like little exclamation points- which is our relationship in a nutshell! I love them!

If I had not taken the time to write about all our wonderful times together over the past year I wouldn't believe it. I feel so lucky to have found someone as generous, kind, loving, fun and awesome as Adam. He even puts up with me:) Double bonus! We have such a great time when ever we are together and I will cherish all the memories we have made thus far forever. I love you BIG Adam Sapina!

Dreams CAN come true!

 On Sunday June 3rd our family celebrated a VERY special occasion! My baby brother, Caleb, got offered his dream job of working on a train!! I am so proud of him for pursuing his dreams. I wish him all the best and can't wait to hear about his new job and adventures in North Dakota :) Love you bud! Do what you do and ROCK IT!

Adam and Rach's Anniversary day-venture!

Time for some blogging catchup! Whoops! Turns out it is quite tricking keeping updated without everyday access to a computer of my own...

On Saturday June 2nd Adam and I headed to Astoria to start our day drive up the WA coastal highway for our anniversary adventure :) We will have officially been together for a year on June 4th! WOW!! What a wonderful first year it has been ♥
The weather started off a bit bleary on the drive out of Portland, but once we were close to the coast it cleared right up for us like it was sunny just for us :) Adam and I had a lovely lunch at Fort George Brewery (a place we have been looking forward to visiting for awhile!) including trying some different brews and of course buying some merch-a hat for Adam and a baseball tee for me, to remember the occasion :P On our way out of town we even caught a free pirate ship shoot-out show, SCORE!
We continued our drive up the WA coast stopping when and where ever we pleased enjoying the day together ♥
 Check out this day!
 He's pretty awesome :p
It was a perfect way to celebrate the last wonderful year we have spent laughing, loving, exploring and sharing our lives together :) I love you babe and can't wait to celebrate many more day-ventures with you!!

Seaside getaway for two

This last weekend, May 18-20, Adam and I headed out early from work to the coast for a little us time:) We haven't been to the beach for ages so a good trip was in order. My mom was able to get us a couple of rooms at our Seaside timeshare resort for Friday and Saturday night.
Adam and I spent Friday afternoon walking around and exploring the wacky touristy stores of Seaside and wandering the beach. It was perfect weather and perfect company;)
Us ♥

 One of Adam's many skills
 a little friend I found on the beach!
 Yep, he loves me;)
To the sea!!!

Had a lovely dinner including crab, steak, shrimp and baked potatoes at Doogers then back to the resort for some hot tubbing! After hot tubbing, we got dressed and went out to explore some Seaside night life. Ended up at a couple of bars, one ended up being a pretty fun kareokee bar-which I happen to love;p Adam and I made some friends and had a super entertaining night out in Seaside.

On Saturday morning, Jeff and Racheal drove down to spend the day with us:) Adam and I had breakfast at Dundee's donuts and met them out on the promenade.
Together we wandered a bit around the stores of Seaside including eating Pronto Pups and playing Fascination! (lots of winners in our group;)
 Fascination fun!!!!
We won matching balls for our shoes!

Then we rented some three-wheeled beach bikes to really get on the move!
Riding like the wind!
break time. This is hard work!
 being silly:)
YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

After our beach biking adventure, we had some much needed chill time on the beach and then headed to Mo's in Cannon beach for chowder! Man alive, that dinner was just what I wanted to warm and fill my tummy up after all that biking and walking around:) We even managed to get in an after dinner beach walk before Racheal and Jeff headed back to Portland. Thanks for a fun day Jeff and Racheal!!! What a WONDERFUL weekend with my babe!!!
 The dream team:p
 My hero! Piggy back so my shoes didn't get wet in the mini river;)

One busy week in May!

The week of May 7-13 was one crazy busy and exciting week of fun for Adam and I:) Starting with the Black Keys concert Monday night, we got tickets from Chris since he was going to be out of town. Adam and I met up with my friend Mo and her friend who bought Chris' extra two tickets from us after work and had dinner at Red Robin before the concert. The concert was pretty darn good! VERY loud haha, I must be getting old;) but great. Adam loved it:) They played all my favorite tunes and many I had never heard. The Arctic Monkeys opened for them making for a great night!
Tuesday after work I got a wicked good massage from my masseuse friend Racheal and then it was off to the movies with Adam, Carly and Sean:) Cinatopia for the Avengers to be exact! We used our groupons so the 3-D experience came complete with a large free popcorn;) The Avengers. If you haven't seen it yet, DO IT!!! Such a fabulously wonderful movie!!!! Great story, awesome action and of course hilarious characters. I can't wait to see it again:P
Wednesday brought only more excitement as our friend Kasey was back in town from Vietnam and he got the whole gang together to eat some wings, drink some beers and shoot the breeze at FOTM:) Kasey has only been gone for a few weeks, but already it was good to see him! Plus wings and deep fried oreos at FOTM makes me smile every time! What a great way to spend hump day Wednesday, with great friends:)
Thursday night after work Adam and I went to have dinner with Andre and Margorie, Adam's parents:) I love spending time with Adam's folks. They are both so unbelievably kind to me, make me feel welcome and right at home and we can laugh together. I'm happy to be apart of their family:)

After dinner, we headed over to the Kasprazak-Millican household for our friend Jaime's Wheel of Fortune viewing party! Jaime was one of the contestants during Portland's go green week. She did awesome! Made it all the way to the final and even though she didn't win the final puzzle, she won $1,000! WAY TO GO JAIME!!
 Wild Card!!


VooDoo WOF donut!

Friday Adam and I joined my family: mom, dad, Caleb, Livy and Addy at Busters' BBQ to celebrate my dad's birthday:) We sure were quite the crowd! Can't go wrong with the Fetrows and BBQ lol. Happy birthday dad!!! Wishing you many more happy years of celebrating:) I love you!

Saturday afternoon, Adam, my mom, Livy, Addy and I went to meet up with the Buzos and the Gesslers to see non other than our little Alexis play Flopsy rabbit in a community play of Peter Rabbit:) What a fabulous job she did!! I couldn't be more proud of her:) She had a fairly large role and played the part superbly!!! She is going to do wonderfully entertaining things that little one;) Can hardly wait to see what the future has in store for our little actress!
 Taking bows
Brother Asa, cheesing;)

Sunday was spent loving on mothers:) Happy Mother's day Mom and Margorie!!! Adam and I met my mom and dad at the Milwaukie Farmer's Market for some wandering, visiting and breakfast:) Could not have asked for a more beautiful morning to enjoy the market! After parting ways with my parents, Adam and I went to meet up with some friends, Dustin, Jaime, Racheal, Jeff, Jaime and Alisha joined as well out on the Columbia River:) Dustin borrowed his mum's boat and took us all out to Government Island to spend the day playing on the beach and in the water:) PERFECT weather! A good 4 hours out on the water in the sun with fun friends=nice little taste of summer! Can't wait to do it again soon!

After our river time, Adam and I changed and headed to his parent's place for Mother's day dinner with his mum and dad:) Spent the evening eating, chatting and enjoying good company out on the patio. A great end to a long and eventful week of adventures:)

Little Panda makes two

At the end of April, I adopted another bunny from my friend Jo. She had to get rid of her rabbit Panda because her work was expanding (she works from home and needed Panda's room). Soooo....being the animal lover I apparently am I took her in on a trial run. After all, if Panda and Falcon didn't get along, Panda couldn't stay because let's face it, Falcon is my #1 rabbit:) Of course they get along fine haha and now I have two bunnies:) They chase one another around the living room, clean eachother and basically act like they love eachother:) Two bunnies! Hey, it's not a collection until it's three;)
 First bunny flop on Panda's first day!
 She is liiiiiittle!
