Spring Break

Although it hasn't been that much of a break with working in Corvallis, house projects and car repairs, the change of pace has been nice.

Paul and I enjoyed a very relaxing weekend up in Portland. We stayed on the river front at the Avalon. On Saturday we went to OMSI, did some shopping downtown & in the Pearl, ran 4 miles on the river front (beautiful!), and enjoyed a really nice dinner downtown. On Sunday we went to Solid Rock church and stopped at the new outlet stores on our way back home. It was nice to have the time together and get away for a couple of days.



We are having family at our place for Easter and I am having a hard time coming up with something for dinner. I could do a roast or something like that, but since I will be the one fixing and don't eat meat I thought about going meatless, but want to still keep it American. (Some how fixing Indian or some other cultures food doesn't seem right for that day.) So if you have great vegetarian recipes for an Easter dinner pass them our way!

Yippee!

* That it is Friday

* That it is sunny outside

* That I(Ashley) for sure have my job for the rest of this year

* That Duke is actually using the new dog bed we bought for him (hey, we don't have kids, so we get excited about that kind of thing)

* That we signed up to help with the Relay for Life and for the Half Marathon in Bend the end of June

* That we have wonderful family and friends

* For so many things, thanks be to God!

Fun in the snow!

We went down to the Bend area this weekend for some sweet skiing, hot tubbing and relaxing.
