Above is a blurry shot of a recent sunset form our new balcony! My mom has requested I write something in here. I haven’t really thought about this blog much lately as we have mostly been working and not living in Paris ha. But on the bright side, we totally lucked out and have found a wonderful apartment!
Mostly, because of this incredible balcony!
We also went to Bend last weekend to spend the 4th with my aunt and uncle who are incredible people! As per usual, it was totally gorgeous there and we spent all our time, biking, swimming in the Deschutes, and having a great time! How blessed are we to say that our family is some of our closest friends as well?
We also got to see some superhero action. My uncle flies airlife, which means he brings medical care to people far out in the countryside.
We brought him dinner on the lawn in front of their garage and then watched their plane take off into the sunset on a recent call.
When we got back, we got to celebrate the birthdays of two very loved family members with an incredible picnic in Sellwood park. Portland is back to its perfect summer self, where you suddenly forget that you cursed it for 9 months of rain, because you are in total aw that such a city exists. Below is our cake for Patty and Amelia.
Today, we are off to the Mississippi Ave Street Fair and then the Bastille Day Festival in the Pearl. Bon weekend mes amis! On a last note, come the 13th, Paul and I will have been married two years! So cheers to that!
