Well, spring break was a hit as expected!

Here is a brief glimpse into our itenerary

Friday afternoon: Leave Spokane, headed to Portland, where we had dinner with my family and watched the blazers game.

Saturday morning: Left good old PDX for VEGGASSSS! We stepped off the plane and were surprised to see Analisa's mom and sister waiting for us in the Vegas airport!!!



Saturday night: Met up with Chelsea, had a few drinkys in the new hotel, the cosmpolitan. Then headed up the the Marquee, where we found my friend from highschool, Michael!





Sunday morning: laid out by the IP pool, got over that pretty quick, and headed to the Venitian where we went to the "TAO beach pool party" There we met a wild lady named "Isabbbellle" and her boy Ivan. Our trip was full of meeting new friends.




Sunday night, after back to back Saturday night out on the town (til about...4:30 am) followed by a pool party (aka the day version of going out to a club in vegas) we found ourselves in bed at...8 Sunday night. What turned into a "quick rest" so we could go back out, quickly found us watching the CMAS (which were being filmed just down the road) and us both passing out by 10.

The rest of the days seem to blur together, with mostly a mix of laying by the pool during the day, and going out at night. Vegas was a lovely treat of sunshine and time with my best friend (and her mom and sister :), as well as 2 great friends that I haven't seen in a while.

Wednesday afternoon we hopped back on a plane to Portland, enjoyed dinner with my family, and the next morning celebrated Analisa's birthday with some chocolate chip pancakes, courtesy of my mom! It was so great to see my family, even for a quick time, and my brother was precious enough to not only take, but pick us up from the airport. Love the guy.

After pancakes and a starbucks, we headed to TumH20 to celebrate Analisa's birthday with her family! Fun times with the McCanns for sure.

Friday morning, we headed to Kirkland, where we met Ande and Lindsay at Claires ADORABLE apartment! We enjoyed some papa murphys and watched she's the man :) So lucky to have wonderful friends, and Joanna, Em and Danika were in our thoughts!

Saturday morning we headed out for some pikes place adventures, followed by a sounders game!!






Saturday night we went out with a bang (although Analisa and I were still recovering from Vegas) by going out in downtown Seattle. I love the whole Seattle area and am very interested in the prospect of moving/teaching there next year. Well friends, it is 9:00 which has recently become my bed time. I also have been really into reading lately. I'll share my books with you next time :)

Much love.
