i have MISSED the pacific ocean like mad.
we always go to cannon beach . . . and hike down into this beach from ecola state park.
we brought hudson and traipsed through the mud in our galoshes.
he loved it.
isn't the oregon coast amazing?
we chilled for awhile. hudson and coleen swam. we watched the waves and walked along the beach.
the sun came out for a bit - that was nice.
then we hiked back to the car
and then we headed into town for some browsing at all our favortie spots and lunch at bill's tavern (joined by the carload of boys). we ended our trek through town at bella's for coffee (the sleepy monk [an organic coffee roaster] was closed that day . . . sad face) and headed home. the boys took the smelly wet pup with them! :)
that night, our dear sweet friend molly had invited us to dinner at her house . . . spagetti, red wine and good friends . . . it all made jon and i pretty sleepy. by now, we'd been in town for a week and we'd been going nonstop. by 1030pm jon was asleep on molly's couch.
looking back, i am sure i've skipped some days . . . like our time at imago dei (did i mention that?) and having dinner at pizzicato with our good friends jen and derek and finding out that nora and allen are incubating TWINS! and having christmas at my sister's house with my family before she headed to nashville with her husband to spend the holdiays with her in-laws. we played guitar hero (which i just heard that someone broke in to their apt and stole all their wii stuff and their laptop . . . they are just poor students, so if you can . . . maybe think of helping them replace the computer? they need to do their homework!!!) . . . it was funny to see my dad "playing" a guitar! i guess i am missing some things because i don't have pictures of everything and i am just going based on the pictures and my faulty memory . . .
um . . . so remind me if you were there and you remember stories i am not telling. and if you have pictures that you'd like to contribute!
anyway . . . we did some other stuff the next day (after beach day) and ended up at the laurelwood with sara, peter,
breanna, jake, chad, etc because chad was leaving us to go back to california (he plays in a band down there . . . has a fiance . . . things like that. he's kind of important) the next day.
i was still working on resting and recovering from the fast pace of the week before. so i just sat. and had coffee. mmmm stumptown - wait? this is cold!!! waiter? can i have a warm cup of coffee please? no problem. wait?! this is gross. i am so sad . . . (that's what happened. only after i got it the second time . . . i didn't want to say anything because i didn't want to be "that girl.")
one last picture of the dwindling CREW (sort of dark)
someday we'll all be together again. in our commune in yamhill county. with goats.
----
so, our friends james and tanya have a half lab half malamute puppy (8 months old and he is TALLER than hudson!!) and we got together with them for a play date . . . they PLAYED AND PLAYED for HOURS . . . seriously. hudson was the happiest dog ever. he finally found another dog with the same amount of CRAZY ENERGY that he has.
i wish we were neighbors so we could let them play all day every day. hudson wouldn't get into so much trouble if that were the case (he gets bored easily).
so . . . that's all the pictures i've uploaded so far . . . i'll get started on uploading week #2 . . . and post some more later . . .
loves,
t and j and h
