And that something is finally getting my blog updated! I always pledge to do better, and then I fall so behind I don't know how I'm ever going to get caught up. Here we go...
Early in November, Kirk and I were able to make a trip up to Oregon to visit one of his best friends from high school, Jared and his beautiful wife Brooke and two adorable kids Jack and Harper) who also happened to be the best man in our wedding. (Kirk was also the best man in Jared and Brooks wedding.) Little Harper had just been born into their wonderful family 3 weeks before we went, and I got to spend 4 days holding the most adorable little girl. While we were there Jared and Brook took us to a hiking trail with some beautiful waterfalls.
The waterfalls were BEAUTIFUL, and it was such a nice hike. After the hike we went to lunch and enjoyed some delicious pizza. While we were in Oregon, I also got to visit one of my best friends Kayli, and meet her newest family addition Caden. I hadn't seen Kayli in almost 3 years so it was super amazing to get to see her. Kirk got to meet her for the first time, which I was so happy about. Of course I'd want 2 of my best friends to know each other! We took her boys to a Childrens museum in Eugene. After the museum we went to Cabelas!! Kirk and Jared met me there, and we picked up a few things. On top of having no sales tax, there was also a special 10-20% purchases made by law enforcement personnel. Lucky for us, our good friend Jared is a Police Officer. We saved a ton of money! Kirk very much enjoyed visiting Jareds parents, and having our first thanksgiving dinner of the year. Jared even got Kirk to play Just Dance on the Wii! It was amazing. Kirk had fun playing with little Jack, and also learned things not to teach little kids. I think he got his first real glimpse of what having kids is like. When it was time to go, I just felt like we hadn't spent enough time there. Every time Brooke and Jared had come to visit California, we'd only gotten a few hours with them at a time, and it was so great to spend days with them. I'm ready to go back. (I don't want to move there though. Just saying.)
