New Years and Rose Bowl

Brad and I celebrated New Years this year with a trip down to Pasadena, California with his parents to see the Oregon Ducks play in the Rose Bowl! Despite the loss, it was a great trip!

We were suppose to leave Tuesday evening from Portland right after work, when all of a sudden, it started snowing around 2:30pm and did not stop until around 8pm. Needless to say, Portland was a mess and covered in snow. It took Brad, 5 hours to get home that evening. We decided it would be smart to just sleep that evening and get up early and head down to Medford Wednesday morning. We met up with his parents and continued to drive all the way to Valencia, Ca. The trip down was not too bad and went by pretty quickly.

On Thursday we spent the entire day at Magic Mountain! We rode all kinds of roller coasters, some even twice and had a really fun day! We went out to dinner at a place called Elephants, which was fun, and capped the evening with a bottle of champagne and a New Years wish.

The next day, ROSE BOWL day! Ducks were everywhere, and the atmosphere was intense with school pride! We got to the stadium and walked around to take in the scenery. After that, we set up our little tailgate!


The Rose Bowl was a lot of fun and despite the outcome, we were all still proud to be a Duck! And as every Duck fan was saying "There's always next year!"
Go DUCKS!!

Christmas in Sunriver!



Brad and I decided to spend our first Christmas together as a family in Sunriver! Brad was able to secure a house for us to stay at for a few days! We loaded up the car, stopped by and picked up a mini Christmas tree and we were on our way to Bend. We stopped by our friend's parents house for a Christmas Eve dinner and some games. It was a lot of fun!

Christmas morning, we opened presents, built puzzels, watched a few movies and just relaxed! It was one of our most favorite Christmas's ever and we are both so happy we spent our first year with just the two of us! It felt like a second honeymoon!!
