Day 48:
This place is called movie madness and it is amazing! it is first of all HUGE. They have every cool movie you could ever dream of and even ones you had no idea existed. It's also a big movie museum with TON of movie memorabilia. All of the staff are super super movie nerds! not stupid teenagers who have no idea what you are talking about. And they organize the movies by directors, foreign language, and hollywood actors! I could spend all day in here just browsing.

So that's it for now! This whole posting once a week thing seems to be working out nicely for me. I know a couple of the photos are just of the sky but those are basically the days I work ALL day and can't really take a picture of anything else. At least it's pretty! Jason and I are going to be getting internet soon so when we do I'll post more often and once summer rolls around you can bet you'll have AMAZING photos a lot more often! Oh! and we're almost ALMOST finished with the apartment to where I would feel confident enough posting pictures of it! (For you Jo! [=...) just a couple more pieces of furniture to purchase. Our bedroom I don't think will be finished for quite some time though. But living room, bathroom, and kitchen are basically done! So that's just an update on what's been going on!

Happy Valentines Day!--Day 45

So Jason and I decided in honor of valentines day we would make an attempt to go to as many of the pink buildings in Portland as we could. The first place we hit was this completely amazing vintage shop right down the road from us. It was so amazing in there it took up most of our day. By the time we got to VooDoo Doughnuts it was dark and I couldn't take a picture of the pink building. And by that time it was too late to go to any other pink buildings because we had dinner plans! So our attempt of visiting every pink building in Portland may have been a little over zealous, but it was a fun day none the less.

Day 40
Jason and I went and ate brunch at this French crepe and bistro right down the street from our house and OH MY GOODNESS. It was soooo good. I told Jason we are going to eat there everyday and get all kinds of fat and I won't even care!

Day 41
We recently became quite the coupon clippers and had I known we would be saving so much money I would have started doing it a Long time ago! We got NINE paper bags completely full to capacity of groceries from fred Meyer, not walmart, not winco, and not food for less...Fred Meyer. For 200 dollars! Woo hoo coupons!

Day 44
So my brother spent all of his money on a build a bear for his girlfriend and was upset he didn't have any left over to get her any flowers. So I headed over and we spent the whole night making paper flowers for her. They actually turned out really good! Here's the one I made for my mom:

Happy Birthday Jo!!--Day 37

Happy Happy Birthday Jo!!
I tried to do the same thing I did with Dusty's birthday and try to take a photo that would symbolize something you liked and this was the only thing I could really think of that would still make a kind of cool photo! This is one of the community gardens in portland. It's on belmont and 20th and is HUGE! It takes up the whole block! It's not extremely beautiful right now because it's winter still but it's still pretty awesome! So happy birthday from Portland! Hurry up and get here and I can SHOW you all the awesome things you'll love!

Catching up and Fixing Mistakes...

So apparently I posted my day 31 on the wrong blog! haha I put it on my photography blog by accident so I have deleted it from there and posted it here:

"BooYah!!!--Day 31
Tonight has been a good night! Jason came home and we went to this awesome sushi place that serves sushi pm a conveyor belt. You can special order if you want but most people just grab what they want right off the line. They charge you based on the color of the plate you choose and they're all pretty cheap! So it's awesome because you pay a little less than you would at a normal sushi place, get the same amount of food but you get to try a bunch of different ones. Each plate has about three pieces on it and you pay an average of 2 dollars a plate. So for the same price you get a roll of sushi from a regular place you get to try three different kinds here! Plus! If you go Sunday-Thursday from 6pm-closing it's just a dollar a plate! AMAZING! We got a ton of sushi for 12 dollars!! New favorite place?? ...I think so!
So here is my love, returned from his long trip away and stuffing his face with all the sushi his little heart (and stomach) can contain!

And here is my Day 32 picture of Dinah I told you about!

Day 35 Was my second 12 hour shift. 12 hour shifts can get kind of boring during hours where my clients are asleep. So this is what I've been working on!

Day 36 was Braiden's birthday party. I got a ton of cute pictures of little kids (which isn't hard to do) but what Is hard to do is choose my favorites!

Here is my bbeeaauuutttiifffullll grandmother!

Catching Up!--Day 33&34...Bbuuuttt...Still no Day 32

So I still haven't gotten to the Internet to upload the photo from day 32. But I promise you're not missing much, just a photo of Dinah haha. But I'm off tomorrow so I'll post it then I promise!
But here are my photos for day 33--
Jason and I went to this bakery/coffee/sandwich shop called sweetpea. They make awesome vegan cupcakes and cakes!

Day 34--
About two weeks ago we bought a 600 dollar couch and thanks to EVIL kitties who like to claw things this is what it has looked like the whole time until we find some time to buy them soft paws.

UPDATE

So I don't want you to think I have completely forgotten about you. For the past three days I have still taken my daily photos just haven't been able to get around to posting them. Work has been KILLING me and there just isn't that much time left in the day to do so. So, I'm going to be changing my rules around a little bit. Maybe permanently, maybe temporarily, but I promise I will continue to take a photo a day however I cannot promise I will get around to posting them EVERY SINGLE DAY. I will try to and when blogger comes out with an app I probably will go back to posting everyday. Or when Jason and I finally get around to getting Internet I probably will then too. But for now I will attempt to post everyday or even every other day but I promise I will atleast do one every Friday with my weeks worth of photos. I also can't promise I'll continue posting a story of my day. It might start getting to be just a photo and only stories on interesting days haha.

Nice day of relaxing!--Day 32

So today was a nIce day of just hanging out and relaxing. It was nice not only to just spend quality time with Jason but because I have been working 14 days straight so I needed some time to just relax. We did a couple little things. Made breakfast, went and bought my baby cousins birthday present at this cute little kids boutique, picked up my grandma from the airport, played th kinect (which is AWESOME!), and did some grocery shopping. I took a picture with my new camera to show Jason the quality and functions of the camera but I didn't go anywhere with wifi to upload the photo so just know I did take my photo for today and I will be posting it tomorrow along with my photo for tomorrow.
