Oregon trip

My titles are very original.
We went on a trip that we've been dying to go on since before we got married. Shane told me all about it. It's his favorite place in the world. The Redwoods!
It was also nice to think of it as a vacation before baby #2 comes along.
So we packed our bags, and our friend Karl and left Buns with Gigi. I cried.
Then we drove the 15 hours it takes to get to Oregon.
It's so green! My favorite part about it was that we would be driving through this gorgeous forest, then all the sudden the beach breaks through on your right! Here in Utah, you have forests, and the beach is somewhere you dream of.
But there, in Oregon it's all right there. You can go on a hike through the greenest forest you've ever seen, then go and have some hot dogs on the beach! We actually did just that. Except I didn't eat hot dogs. Hot dogs are the devils food.

Enjoy some pictures. Some are terrible.

New place...

Our new place is charming. It's a small old house (that still has a grandma scent, especially when you open the cupboards)
We have a few apple trees that we take advantage of. We are only half way through September, but we've already made apple pie twice! Hmmmm! So good.
We had a lawn put in by the landlord, and in a week it should be ready to play on!
Our porch is lovely. It is in the shade of our possibly dying chestnut tree, and our whole street is shaded with trees. Our neighbors and nice and love sharing their extra produce from their gardens.
Shane likes to play his guitar out there while we sit and listen.

Our vacations posts aren't over, but I wanted to share these pictures before seasons changed too much.

We have a lot of decorating to do, but that always takes a few months. 

We are comfortable here.

What we are doing when we aren't blogging.

Most of the pictures are from my instagram.

We go to the pet store.

 We try on new sports bras.

 We are crazy in the tub.

 Sometimes Tae is more stylish than mom.

 We make forts.

 We randomly look like a tan 16 year old.

 Sometimes we don't wear pants and our piggie tails stay in.

 We not-so-patiently await Daddy's awakening.

 We push our faces against glass at the store.

 We go on walks when the air is horribly gross.

Enjoy.
