Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to our friends and family! We can't believe how fast the time is flying by. In just a few short months we are going to be getting married! We couldn't wait until then to see our venue again, so we are going to enjoy our Valentine's night at the Harbor Club where we are going to get married this summer! We are looking forward to trying the food for the first time and to enjoy our evening with Michael's parents. SO MUCH FUN!!!

Portland, OR
Over Halloween weekend we took a trip down to Portland Oregon. We stayed at the Hilton Executive Tower right in the middle of downtown so we were close to everything! Friday night we went to The Portland City Grill for dinner. It was on the 30th floor of one of the towers and had some of the most amazing food! Even though it was slightly cloudy, the view was gorgeous! It felt like we were in the clouds! After our dinner we were both so tired from the drive and all the food, so we went back to the hotel for an early night.
Saturday morning we woke up and we went shopping and sight seeing downtown. Since there is no sales tax in Portland we had a little fun and went to Sephora for me and Macy's for Michael. One of the places we both wanted to go to (Nike Town) was closed for a remodel. So, we'll need to go back to check it out another time. After shopping I surprised Michael with an afternoon at Spa Sasse where we both had a relaxing Hydrobath followed by a couples massage! We both left refreshed, but a bit tired.
Later that night we met up with my cousin Krista and her fiance Thomas and we even dressed up for Halloween! Michael was a referee and I was his cheerleader! We went to a place called Grand Central where there was bowling, a huge bar, and even an area where you could get your makeup an hair done to complement your choice in Halloween outfit! We didn't partake, but it was fun to watch others come out looking scary!
After we saw my cousin, we went to go see my dad who was in town with some of his friends for a concert. We went to a few different pubs downtown and got to enjoy hearing about their night in Portland.
After our late night, Sunday morning we went to a place called Vodoo Doughnuts where they sell interesting and unique doughnuts. They had everything from doughnuts with fruitloops on the top and even banana fritters with chocolate and peanut butter drizzle on top! Michael of course got his maple bacon bar and I got my favorite; old fashioned!
When we got home we were so happy to see Paco who had stayed at Michael's parents for the weekend. He had so much fun, but was just as tired as we were! We of course took pictures to share...

Walking home we had a little fun in the rain and took in the sights
Shopping on Saturday morning we stopped to take photos with the cute animal statues that are all over downtown.
After shopping I surprised Michael with a day at Spa Sasse! It was so relaxing getting a massage after a long week.
Later Saturday night we met up with Krista and Thomas. They dressed as a nurse and a doctor for Halloween....
While we dressed up as a referee and cheerleader..
Sarah and Krista
Later in the night we met up with my dad!
Sunday morning Vodoo Doughnuts was like nothing we had ever seen with sideways chandaleers and sparkly brick outside.
As we were leaving a sign caught our eye that pretty much sums up what we had experienced..
Coming home we were so happy to see Paco, but he was so tired from his weekend with Michael's parents that all he wanted to do was sleep.
And Michael's mom even left us an XOXO cleverly in the candy corn!
We can't wait to go back and visit Portland! :)

Pumpkin Time!
This week we made a trip to Snohomish to find the perfect pumpkins! We went to a new pumpkin patch that neither of us had been to that was a bit smaller than others. During the rest of the year they are just a small fruit stand. While we were there we couldn't skip on getting some fresh apple cider! When we got home, it was carving time! I think they came out pretty good...
Carving Time
The Outcome.. Can you guess who did which pumpkin?
Yep, that's right. The more detailed one on the left was Michael's and the simple one on the right is mine! They look great on our porch! :D

Annual Outting to the Haunted Corn Maze
Every year we have gone to a haunted corn maze in Snohomish at Stalker Farms with our friends Alina and Adam. We always have a great time and get a good scare! People dressed up in scary costumes hide inside the corn and they even have huts that you have to walk through with hanging meat and creepy fog among other things. This year was just as scary as the last few even though we knew what to expect. I made Michael lead the way for the rest of us through the corn while my friend Alina and I stayed in the middle of the guys. It didn't seem to help too much and we ended up screaming just as much! Michael even got scared a few times which isn't an easy thing to do.
Michael and Adam- Our Fearless Boys!
Alina and I
The Happy Couples
We even ran into my girlfriend Mandy who normally comes with us to the maze
Here's a picture from 3 years ago at the corn maze with Alina and Mandy. Can't believe how fast time flys!
The four of us about to go into the maze
Here's a picture of the four of us last year before the maze
We can't wait to go again next year!

Woodland Park Zoo 10/02
On Sunday we went with Michael's parents and his nieces to the Woodland Park Zoo! We had such a great time pushing the girls around in their strollers, watching them get excited about the animals and of course spending time with his parents. To top it off, Michael got to see his favorite animals, turtles, and I got to see my favorite, penguins!
Michael with Lexie and Kenzie
Hippos and Giraffe’s were right in sight!
Kenzie, where did the giraffe go?
Kenzie liked pointing at the animals making sure we all saw them:
The girls found a perfect cubby to look at the animals up close:
Michael even got up close to the Peacock:
