Etsy.

I try not to talk about Etsy on this blog and save it for the OTHER blog but I can't help myself. I was featured in another treasury and it was so pretty that I want to share it with everyone. It is (obviously) an homage to the color yellow, which just happens to be my favorite!

It was made by Green Heath Treasures. To see the actual treasury click here. Do you see me? Second row down, all the way to the right!

Thank you, 94.7 KNRK

As I posted on Friday, Tony and I won tickets to small show for Temper Trap and The Big Pink. We went and were amazed by Temper Trap. I wasn't sure how their sound would translate to a live show, but it was flawless. If you have seen 500 Days of Summer, you have heard their hit song, Sweet Disposition.

The Big Pink was a whole different story...all we knew of them is their song, Domino's. It is a great song, like...really, really great. Well we should have done our research so that we knew that the rest of their songs are boring, depressing and just plain weird. Oh well, they ended the show with Domino's and it vastly made up for the crap they played beforehand.


Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Laurelhurst Park.

This Saturday, Tony and I ventured out into NE Portland to Laurelhurst park. It was beautiful, the camelia's were in full bloom! Light pink, bright pink and winter white.

If you ignore the color of the water, it really is a spectacular park! We plan on going back there in a few weeks when more of the trees have leaves. And when it's above 50 degrees because...come on, let's get serious.


After we went to the park, we took our lives in our own hands and went to Lloyd Center Mall, we made it out unscathed!

Sunday Afternoon.

I convinced Tony to sign up for a contest with me in the hopes that we could win tickets to see The Big Pink and The Temper Trap perform here in Portland. Little did I know that he would actually WIN! Our local alternative radio station, 94.7, (which is awesome by the way) hosted the giveaway. Sooo, needless to say, I'm prettty pumped. More so than I should be, just for the fact that we haven't been to a legit show in mooonths (I just have to fight the guilt of it being on the Sabbath. Never fear, we shall be there to teach our Sunday School class regardless).

I have a niece.

Her name is Kimber and she is 4 years old (5 in April!)

She is adorable, really too cute for her own good.

As far as personalities go...her's is strong.

When we chat with our matching webcams, she shows us her Guinea Pig's butt.

Here she is in AZ with the cat and mice that Tony and I gave her for Christmas.

This cracks me up.

Dream.

I was lucky enough to marry a pilot. See proof of such below.
We like to visit Sedona, AZ. It is one of the most beautiful places in the the entire worrrlld to me. Red rock everywhere, artists everywhere, greenery everywhere...


To tie this all together...we have always wanted to fly into the Sedona airport, which is on a plateau of sorts. From the airport, we plan to ride our foldable bikes (which we do not yet own) down into town for lunch and a nice art walk/hike in the lovely red rock mountains.

Little did I know that my stalking of Anthropologie would lead to the fruition of this dream!

TA DA! For (only?) $998.00 bucks each, we could totally make this happen...isn't it lovely?
