Friday!

I am so happy it is Friday today and that it is finally the weekend! I got all my work done for the week so I can actually enjoy it! I am very excited for this weekend because Erik and I have actually planned a lot to do and even if it doesn't all work out, I am just so happy it is sunny today and hopefully the weather will stay nice.

Here are a few things we have planned for this weekend:

* Tonight is the first meeting of my book club! I couldn't be more excited, it has been something I have wanted to do for a looong time and never had the right people to start it with or never really thought I could make the time. But I am so excited with the group that is coming and realized that it is so much easier to make time if you prioritze correctly!

* Tomorrow we are going to a lacrosse game for the team that Erik is helping coach! Finally... I am getting a glimpse of my dream to be a coach's wife.. haha I feel like I am going to have to channel Tami Taylor and wear some coyboy boots and say "hey ya'll" a lot.. Even though Erik is helping coach lacrosse and not football and we are in Oregon not Texas. Oh well. Should still be fun.

* Later in the day tomorrow/tomorrow night, we are going to try to get out to the UFO Festival that Mcmenamins is having in Mcminnville. There is a "Dress your Pet like an alien" contest and live music, and of course beer. Should be a good time.

*Then Sunday, plans aren't exact yet, but if they don't work out... maybe we will just have a day of rest. But if they do work out, hopefully we will get some drinks with friends and have a great afternoon. hopefully the weather will compromise!

I am so happy Spring is FINALLY here in Oregon!

Anyone else have awesome plans for this weekend??

I'm ready...

...to go on a camping adventure!

I am really ready for the sun to come out and spring to begin. Because as soon as it does, I am going to pack up the car, the tent, the cooler, and my husband and head out on an adventure. I am going to have to start researching places now because I am getting really antsy for spring and more outdoor adventures.

Oregon is amazing but irritating sometimes because it is so beautiful year round, but it is hard to enjoy camping when it is pouring outside and you cannot leave your tent without getting soaked. So... I am just waiting patiently (or impatiently) for the sun to come out so that camping, hiking, swimming, boating and other outdoor adventures can begin. 

ahhhh. spring tiiiiime. commere. 

Weekend Adventures: Hiking Multnomah Falls

Bottom of the Falls

Looking at Washington

The day was amazing! Erik and I hiked to the top of the falls at Multnomah Falls, which is about 40 minutes east of Portland.  Erik had to push me to do my best and I am so happy I listened because thew view was spectacular and everything once you got to the inside of the ridge was so amazingly beautiful! That is where that stream in the pictures is! Then, after we made it to the top and came all the way back down, we visited Erik's school so that I could look around the campus, then stopped off at Thirsty Lion Bar and Grill for lunch!

What did you do this weekend??

Happy Weekend Adventuring!
