My Other Love { Bend, Oregon }

I love this beautiful town in Central Oregon so much that I drive 5-6 hours (on a traffic-crazed, 3-day weekend) by myself to visit. As most of you know, it's home to some of my most favorite people - the Blyths...and sometimes I just need an Ava, Miles, Galen and Megs fix. The time spent in the car, was worth every second once I arrived and got to cuddle with these two monkeys.

Mid-way through the weekend, I told Megs this was my favorite trip (so far) to Bend. We'll be back in one month for the Sunriver Half Marathon, so maybe that will be my new favorite trip...we shall see. This weekend was spent taking pictures, drinking, laughing (a lot), listening to old school rap (per Galen's request), pedicures, shopping, BBQ'ing, dancing to Princess and the Frog, snuggling on the couch...just what I had hoped for.

Sunday Morning: Me on the guest room bed...sound asleep (slightly hungover...mouthguard still in)
Ava: Coffey (with a tap on the shoulder)...Hey Coffey you have dots on your face
Me: huh?
Ava: You have little dots on your face
Me: Yes, Ava those are freckles
Ava: Coffey they're beautiful
* Seriously, how precious is this girl?

While I was away, Steve stayed home to attend a friends birthday party and work on the yard and around the house. To make up for the time apart, we went out for dinner and saw Iron Man 2 (really enjoyed it). And here's a good "You Know You're Fat When"...he had a coupon for a free popcorn, but decided he was too full from dinner to eat it during the movie so as we're leaving the theater he got his popcorn to go...weird?
