A Few Quick Updates

First things first. How cool is Paul? The other day when he came to meet me to walk home from our separate jobs, I had to snap this photo. It looks like one that should be posted on one of those blogs where people walk around and take snapshots of cool looking people. What a [...]

Paul has gotten really into Tennis this summer and asks me every night to go up to Washington Park to use their tennis courts. When we headed up there, I had no idea that a tiny piece of paradise was only blocks from our apartment. The trail up there past the Portland reservoir is lined with hydrangeas.
We [...]
Hidden Library Treasures

I have been working for the history department this summer collecting and citing historical bibliographies and document collections for their online database. This seemingly boring summer job, however, allows me to indulge in my nerdy guilty pleasure of spending hours perusing old and varied books. My inner bibliophile cannot resist making two piles: one of books to [...]
Sauvie Island

The other afternoon we attended an old high school friend’s wedding. It was nice to see old friends and faces, but it made me miss my family a lot.
So, to take my mind off of it, we went to Sauvie Island to pick our own produce and get out of the heat. All of the [...]
Ingredients of Summer
Posted in Uncategorized on July 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Today was it 95 degrees and oppressively hot. On these Nashville-esque (love you guys) days, I try and remember the essential ingredients of summer that come only this time of year and make it oh so special. For example, almost overly ripe peaches.
Summer squash, onions, and zucchini. We used these left over veggies after buying them for [...]

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 [...]
Haircuts and Tunisian Day Dreams

First of all, I finally got a hair cut. Helen, below is the promised picture.
Also, the Semester is finally over. It’s some what a relief and some what sad to see friends leave.
Its going to be a long summer of road trips (hopefully) and Middle Eastern history books in preparation for my thesis. But my [...]
Summer Fairy Land

In the late Spring and Summer Oregon becomes, hands down, the most beautiful place on Earth. Despite all the months of rain, this time of year the state is transformed into a total fairy land. Here are some pictures to prove my point:
See the mountain in the background? I had to try hard with my [...]
Blessed are Those Whose Hope is in the Lord

Today was another bright, sunny day, which (i’m not sure whether to put fortunately or unfortunately here) was completely unproductive, but very relaxing.
However, a very special package arrived in the mail and made the whole day 100% more fabulous than it already was. Below, is my “ooooh a package” face.
Wonderful cards, mind blowing handmade quilt, [...]
