Updates to our wall... baby steps

Yes, we are probably the world's slowest decorators.  Partly because it takes us (more like D) forever to decide how to decorate and partly because we are busy.  But, we finally decided on creating a gallery wall with pictures of our various trips.  Now, we'll see how long it takes to get a rug and curtains...

Before:  Yes, D measured everything so that it's all evenly distributed. 

After:  Just missing a few pictures, which a great reason for a new trip.

Brace Face

Not that the first time wasn't fun enough, but it seems J is reliving her high school days again.  Yes, she is now an official brace face... hopefully not for too long.  The orthodontist says it'll be no more than 12 weeks.  Luckily, it's just the bottom teeth.

BFF fun in Portland

J and her BFF have been talking about going on a trip together for some time.  So, when BFF suggested going to Portland, OR for a quick weekend getaway, we decided to tag along.  We had only two objectives for the trip, try out many of their food trucks/restaurants and view the beautiful scenery.  We accomplished both.

Exploring the city of Portland, it's so green!

First things first, donuts and food trucks. 

Exploring the beautiful scenery around Portland, reminds J of Europe.

Entrance to the Japanese Gardens

 A life-sized Zen Garden!

We also found many amazing restaurants to eat at, thanks to BFF and Gaurav's research.  

Here's just a sample of one of the meals.  Fancy!
