August 7 marked our ninth wedding anniversary! According to Google, “pottery” is the traditional ninth anniversary gift (or, the more modern option: “leather”). Instead of those fine goods, I suggested we go on a 40-ish mile backpacking trip around Mount Hood. It says a lot about Eric’s love for me that he quickly agreed and…
one giant catch up.
Well, it’s been a heck of a long time since I’ve posted on this thing. I’ve realized that without the ol’ blog, I have a really hard time remembering anything that we’ve done. On our anniversary last week, we had to scroll through our phone photos to even remember what we did to celebrate last…
six years.
Guys, Eric and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary at the beginning of August. Six years! In some ways, I feel like we’ve been married forever (we’re going on 10 years of togetherness, after all), but I also feel like our wedding was yesterday. But all 6 years have been pretty spectacular.
five years.
It’s been 5 years, 4 apartments, 3 cities, 2 states, and 1 broken bone since we got married.

We celebrated our fifth anniversary over the weekend with a picnic…
our 4th anniversary.

I don’t want to get too sappy on you folks, so I’ll just say it’s a real pleasure being married…
anniversary getaway to the lost coast (part 2).
We stayed at my employer’s vacation home in Petrolia, CA for our anniversary weekend. After a day spent hiking on the beach, we spent a full day relaxing at the house, picking organic apples and plums in the backyard, reading in the hammocks, and checking out the river. This just reinforced my desire to own…
three years.
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. To celebrate, we decided to use the rest of our King Estate gift card for some dessert and wine (there’s nothing like a free date, right?). You can read about our ridiculous brunch experience at King Estate here. Now, the goal was to enjoy some wine and dessert on the…
lessons from a married woman.
I felt like I was pretty well versed in all things about relationships and life in general before we got married. After all, we dated forever, so I knew Eric pretty darn well. Still, marriage has been a total learning experience. Allow me to share a few life lessons from my 5 months, 1 week,…
