Last night the Sveinbjornssons invited Alec and me over to their house for dinner. Lily, Ryan and the dog, Coco, kept us entertained all evening. After trying on their halloween costumes, counting the money in their piggy banks (and ensuring it tasted good), Indian dancing in their pajamas, hiding in Coco’s crate, spinning until dizzy, dramatically [...]

Summer is here

Nothing says ’summer’ quite like a new red Adirondack chair, Costco hotdogs with deli mustard, a home in the midst of a remodel, and two 40 year old men playing catch in the middle of the street….
Mmmm…pulled pork is good

The weekend’s warm weather inspired Alec to whip up some delicious BBQ’d pulled pork sandwiches with homemade coleslaw. This slaw was really tart and tangy, not mayo-based and goopy. Alec was sweet enough to work his magic in the kitchen while I lounged, catching up on the magazines I missed reading during the week. Thanks [...]

That stands for rest, relaxation and romance…with some beautiful sunny weather thrown in for good measure!

Boy does it feel great to be home. After a really trying, emotional and exhausting first week in Seattle, I couldn’t wait to see Alec, sleep and eat. My priorities were pretty basic this weekend.
After work Friday we went to the Miller’s new house for dinner. Kate, Terry and Henry made us their famous chicken [...]

This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind. I picked the short straw and drove the 10′ Uhaul, while Alec kept pace in the Honda. After 3 hours of shopping at IKEA, we spent the next 24 hours unpacking and assembling. If we never see another IKEA box that will be just fine! I dropped Alec [...]

It’s official: after a full year of weekly commutes to Seattle, I am setting up shop in the Emerald City! My company has leased a condo downtown where I’ll live and work Monday-Friday. I will fly home every Friday or Alec will fly north for a weekend of baseball, walks to the public market, or [...]

Spring has sprung!

It’s official – Spring has arrived in Portland. And with the 50 degree temperature and chirping birds have come beautiful blooms. Our favorite is the lovely daphne bush on the north side of our house. Sadly, it feels like this little fragrant gem is only in bloom for a few weeks this time of year
