Snow

No pictures yet, but I'm in Forest Grove with Katherine and there is close to 2 feet of snow outside. And not just snow, but snow then 1/8th and inch of ice, then a whole bunch more snow. It's snowing now even. And I'm supposed to drive to my poppa's house today. I'm not sure I can even unbury my car enough to get the chains on!

Foggy doggy

It has been ridiculously foggy here the past few days. Cooooooold too. By the time we get to school, Rinley is frosted. you can see it best in the picture below. I just posted the one above because he is so darn cute. I love my dog!

Grandma!

After the girly time of wedding dresses, I headed over to hang out with my Grandmother. We went out to dinner with my Aunt Krista, so much fun!

Dress fitting

I went with Jenise to San Francisco this weekend (and her momma and Stephanie too) for her first dress fitting.

I have to admit it is pretty cool that she is having a dress actually made for her body. This is the mock up dress that they made specifically to write on and mess with. Even it is amazingly beautiful, raggedy ann rips, writing and all.

Do you think she likes it?

Lab meeting

We had our annual Christmas lab meeting at Konditorei last week. Here are the current members of my lovely lab. From left to right:

Evan, Eliska, Stephanie, Emily, and Jenise

Turkey Day!

This year, thanksgiving dinner was up at Grandma's house. An opportunity to get together as a family and try to help each other through this first holiday without Karen. Uncle Dave carving the turkey, Grandma making gravy (yummy)

Lots of good food.

The next day, we went hiking to try to work off all that food.

Katie and her Justin

I climbed this tree to get some mistletoe for Katie to create mischief with

Hiking

I went hiking with Erik a few weeks ago, just now getting to posting pics. It was lots of fun, very pretty. My legs hurt after though, quite a climb.
