The one with pretty scenery.

This blog post is #2 in the roadtrip series and dedicated to the pretty views. Whether through the windshield, while walking, exploring or random little glimpses of beauty.
The Pacific Northwest just has so much to offer.

for here, please.

This blog post kicks off the first of a few from the recent roadtrip to Portland/Seattle and back.
We all know I love coffee. What I love more is when it's at a lovely coffee shop with a great vibe, comfy chairs, people watching, contemplating and especially ordering my coffee in a mug "for here." You know this was easy to find in the pacific northwest.

Albina Press, Stumptown, Verite, Coava, Lighthouse, Umbria.. I might be missing one or two. It was cold so hot drinks were all the more valuable. Plus, such good times exploring these places with people who also love coffee and coffee houses. Downtime, observing, match making, conversation.. What's not to love?

Merry Christmas

It has been a busy busy week with 11 Christmas services, events, shopping, spending time with lovely people and life. Great things that I am truly blessed with but right now it is so good to be in the glow of my lovely Christmas tree, gingerbread house in front of me, lots of wrapping gifts, Christmas music, candles and pajamas. I am tired and peaceful downtime is so good. Time to rest, be thankful and reflect. This is valuable. I am thankful for a great time I worked with to put on 11 services in our video cafe with good, drinks and a lounge atmosphere. I certainly pray God moved in the hearts that attended.
Let's celebrate His birth!

Decorating our house was super fun. I am definitely more than okay with starting before Thanksgiving. December goes way too fast. I am keeping my tree forever. Okay, the roomies might not let me but just a little longer.

Galligan - Fall 2010

A couple weeks ago I took my third round of photos with the Galligans. It has been so fun to see how much little Link has grown. He had so much more character and expression this time around.
Plus, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect scenery. Just days after I went back and the colors were not the same.
