eeek!

THIS little guy was living in my parent's attic.

My mom named him "Ratty." They let him go in a field on the way to salem one day. Are my parents getting silly? Maybe...

AJERS!

Happy ONE YEAR Birthday to my wonderful little man, AJ!!!!

He can't read this now, but maybe someday?

I LOVE HIM!!!

The Shins and ANTM!?

Chris works at New Seasons right near Alberta in NE Portland. He sees a lot of musicians come in there - Viva Voce, guitarist for Interpol, Dandy Warhols and mulitple Shins. Including the keyboard player, Marty who "has a really tall girlfriend." Who knew she was from America's Next Top Model!? And lives on Alberta where we frequently dine/shop!? I love that show and I totally remember her!

Anywho, they've made some unfortunate headlines these past few days. Dangit.

I love making cookies. I don't love electric stoves! But... I now have a GAS stove. My chocolate chip cookies turned out perfect!

here it is so far!

updating

I'm finally able to blog! I found just the right position for the computer to pick up a wireless signal at our new place. It's slow, but it works!

Christmas has come and gone. Some much needed relaxation, family time, home cooked meals, and scrabble.

New Years Eve Chris and I spent the whole day MOVING. We love our new place. I've been able to get some things at ikea, and it's starting to feel very cozy. We love, love, love it!

New Years Eve was also our 1 year anniversary! So we went out to pizza across the street. It was so good. After that we went to Eli and Taylor's for some drinks. We then headed over to a party (which none of us were that excited about. Especially Chris and I because we were so tired!).... but it turned out to be SO fun! We met a couple, Noel and Brooks and their friend Maddy. Chris and I basically spent the whole night talking with them. They were so fun, and I think we made some really great new friends! Noel and Brooks also have their own t-shirt company that just launched. Check them out at ohbuggy.com

Hope you all had a great New Years! I'll post pictures of the new place once I find the camera cord!

Love you all,
Sarah
