Day 334: Airport


Tim has finally given a name to these iPhone shots I take quickly when I realize I don't have a photo for the day - "desperation shots." Yep. I took this one out the window of the plane at Denver airport.

Day 333: Cemetery

The Oregon campus has something I've never seen before - a pioneer cemetery. It's a beautiful, shady place to take a stroll, if you're not creeped out by that sort of thing (I'm not).

Day 332: Lime


Homemade guac again tonight - I think I have a problem.

I got an orchid today! Now to test out my green thumb.

Day 330: Daisy II


I took a walk today to enjoy the beautiful weather and discovered a nice city park just a couple blocks from our place. Now if only I could be outside for longer than 20 minutes without my allergies staging a revolt.

Day 329: Guacamole


I made homemade guacamole for the second time last night. I think I overestimated my skills the first time, because I realized it's pretty hard to not make great guacamole. Yum.

Day 328: Sky II


Beautiful sky right outside my front door tonight. These shots never come out the way I want, but I still whip out my camera every time.

Day 327: Sandwich


I love how sometimes the dinners I'm not that excited about can end up being the best ones. Yum!

Day 325: Coast


This afternoon Tim and I decided to drive to the coast, which is just a little over an hour away from us. We stopped in Florence, then made our way up Highway 101 to the Heceta Head Lighthouse. Despite it being rainy, and a little too cold for the flip flops I was wearing, I loved every minute of it.

Day 324: Cube

Behold, the Target wine cube. Judge me if you will, but when I saw that our new Target sold wine in cube form, I just had to try it out. According to the box container, it's how the Europeans drink it, so clearly it's super classy. It's supposed to stay fresh for a month, so it saves me from drinking the rest of opening an entire bottle when I just want one glass (Tim doesn't drink white, you see). And you know what? It's not bad.

Day 323: Chips

Reason number 815 that I love Eugene - there are no less than three fish and chip shops within a couple of miles of our house. Tonight we tried out Newman's Fish Co., which is just a walk-up window that gives you fish and chips wrapped in paper and delicious spicy clam chowder.

Day 322: Campus


University of Oregon's campus is just beautiful - and so impossibly green!

Day 321: Coffee


Enjoying our morning coffee in our new kitchen!

Day 320: Window



This is my view from our new place when I wake up in the morning. Loving Eugene so far!

Day 319: Home

How else would we spend our first night in our new home but sipping an Oregon Pinot Noir?

Day 318: River


We finally made it into Oregon today. Once we got to the Columbia River, we followed it all the way to Portland. Tomorrow, Eugene!

Day 317: Mountain


We saw some beautiful scenery today as we made our way from Cheyenne to Boise. Tomorrow we'll get to Oregon!

Day 316: Wyoming


Our road trip has officially begun. We made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming yesterday and spent the night. And saw our first glimpse of mountains!

Day 315: Trevor IX


I'm going to miss this boy.

Day 314: K


These are our last days in Columbia, and I'm getting nostalgic about the most random things - like this drive down Route K I've taken hundreds of times.

Day 313: Roses


My brother brought me some roses from his garden. So pretty!
