Oregon

Thursday...

...morning: Seth, my mom, and I leave at 6 a.m. to drive to Oregon.

...afternoon: We have to take a detour through Nevada; a section of I-15 was closed because of the hurricane winds. It adds 2 1/2 hours onto our trip.

...night: We drop my mom off in Portland at 8 pm, and we drive on to Seth's friend Justin's house in Estacada.

Friday...

...morning: Seth and Justin go golfing. I stay in bed reading and take my time getting ready.

...afternoon: Seth shows me around Estacada, the town he grew up in.

Seth's family first lived in the tiny little house in the back while the house in the front was being built.

This is the road going to down to the house. It's the perfect picture of Oregon :)

This is the other house Seth lived in with his family. His dad built it.

We drive to Welches so I can show him where I grew up.

This is the first house we lived in when we moved to Welches. My mom planted those huge trees in front.

 

(There are basically no pictures of the rest of the trip, which included visiting 5 more houses in Welches I lived in . So I'm a failure as a wife and a blogger. Sue me.)

...evening: We drive up to Sandy when Mason (my brother) gets off work, and Seth meets Mason for the first time.

Saturday...

...morning: Seth and Justin go golfing again.

...afternoon: We meet up with some of my mom's family for brunch in Gresham.

...evening: We go to my grandpa's house in Portland to have dinner with my dad's family.

Sunday...

...morning: We go to my grandma's memorial. I sing in a duet.

...afternoon: We have lunch with my dad's family.

 



...evening: We go to a white elephant Christmas party with my mom's family.

...late evening: We decide to start the drive back home then instead of in the morning.
