Hey All! This maybe old news for some of you, but Tom and I found out a few weeks ago that there was a documentary made about my hometown. Tom and I actually know the guys that directed it, Bill and Turner Ross. From the trailers and clips we've searched for on the internet, the documentary looks really good. Below I posted the trailer and a link to their website... Enjoy!

Congrats Bill and Turner on all of your accomplishments!

Moving Making Saturday

Shortly after moving to Oregon, I learned that Tom's co-worker and great friend, David G. is very passionate about movies. Last year, he started making his own short films, and usually after a few months of editing, everyone gets together for the big movie premiere. Last Saturday, David asked to shoot a few of his scenes from his newest movie in our apartment. What we saw was fabulous, and we can't wait for the finished product!! Later that night Mark came over, we got food from Five Guys Burger and Fries, and settled in to watch the Blazers. Overall the Blazers did crappy, but the food was FABULOUS...hands down, the best fast food burger and fries I've ever had. I'm gettin hungry just thinking about it! :) Below are pics from our moving making Saturday.

Shane aka "Joe Garcia". He's suppose to be the stereotypical hillbilly husband.

This is take two of three. David will probably use the 3rd take, which is a tad funnier than this....but this one is still pretty good. Basically, Maria walks in after being fired from her job and finds her hubby being a lazy drunk. The quality isn't the best b/c it's from my lil' pink sony camera. :)

St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patty's Day! Don't forget to wear something green. There's nothing new here, just a picture and video to get you in the St. Patty's Day mood. :)

This isn't a very good picture, but it was the brightest rainbow.

This is news reporting at it's finest. This is a clip from Mobile, AL where people claim to have seen a leprechaun. Enjoy!

The Wild Dave

This past weekend David Hoying decided to grace us with his presence. We had a fabulous time doing a lot of hiking, eating, and drinking. Enjoy all the pics!

Day 1: Walking Tour of Downtown- The first day Dave arrived we went on a walking tour of downtown Portland. We only made it to Pioneer Square and the Willamette River before we met up with Tom. We had a fabulous dinner at Jake's Famous Crawfish, walked around Powell's bookstore, and finally ended at the Shanghai Tunnels for a few beers.

Day 2: Cannon Beach- According to Tom, we did about a 3 mile round trip hike along the coast. It was pretty cold, rainy, and muddy, but it was so much fun. For those of you who know me well, I am NOT an outdoorsy person at all. But this weekend, I discovered that I really like walking along trails and playing in mud. I don't have many pictures that represent the trail accurately, but we spent most of the hike trying to dance around really muddy parts. We took the trail to another beach and by the time we started going back, a storm came in and the misty rain turned to hail. We decided that it would be better to run most of the way back because of the weather. After awhile the rain/hail stopped and we took it back to a walking pace. However, because of the little run we did, the bottom of our pants and shoes were caked in mud. :) It was so much fun!

A little bit of sun would peek through the clouds every now and then :)

When we finally made it back to the car, we spotted Caribou along the side of the parking lot

Day 3: Waterfalls at the Columbia River Gorge- After Church, fabulous brunch, and taking advantage of Tom's adidas discount, we headed east to see the waterfalls. We stopped and saw a few small waterfalls before getting to the big one (Multnomah Falls), which is pictured below. We did a 2.2 mile round trip hike to the top of this waterfall with an elevation around 620ft. Luckily, we had pretty nice weather for Dave's last day.

Dave- Thanks for taking the time to come and visit. We had such a great time with you. Come back soon!

Hopefully these pictures will entice the rest of you to visit us as well! :)
