SO I don't have many pictures of this trip, but this is what I have. It was so much fun. Totally last second, which in my opinion makes it so much more fun. I don't get to be sponataneous much because of working full time. I got to see people in my family that I haven't seen in a long time and it was wonderful. I went boogie boarding lots in the freezing ocean and also rode in or attempted to on a raft....that was pretty crazy. savannah and i got flipped pretty bad 2 times. One day it was even nice....which is weird on teh oregon coast. I fell asleep on the beach and loved it....even though my face got totally fried!! My nieces and nephews are adorable. I had a lot of fun with them. this video is of my niece, Tera dancing, singing and posing for me. So funny. she's a cutie.

Oh and about the hair pics.....I was in a hurry and this is what it looked like. I used to be so against side ponies, but I got a lot of compliments. Kinda funny how that works....the quicker i do my hair the more compliments I get....kinda annoying.

Airport fiasco- So I made my first flight from Denver to Phoenix and then got put on standby becuase I guess they sold too many tickets. So the 2nd flight that went to Portland I didn't make it on and then the 2nd one I did. I was supposed to get to Portland at 10:20 am and get a ride wiht my parents who were getting in at noon, but that didn't work. Luckily my friend, Chelsey, who was going to come visit the beach house Wednesday was able to come Monday instead so she picked me up at 5:30 PM!!!! rediculous! THEN....on the way back.....my parents had a flight at 8 pm on Thur. and I had one at 6:45 a.m Friday. All of my inlaws live in Portland, but NONE of them were there this particular day. talk about bad luck. So instead of sleeping in a warm bed and getting a ride in the morning I hitched a ride to the airport with my parents at 6. I couldn't get a boarding pass until the day OF my flight so they told me to come back at midnight. So i patiently waited and got to the counter at 12 on the dot, but they were closed. So I went to one of the 2 double chairs (which were inconveniently located right by each other) and tried to selep. I slept for about 20 minutes and then some guy slept on the one right by me and started SNORING. what a punk. SO i picked up and tried to find anotehr place....and then another because they were vacuming and then another becuase people were loud. Anyways...finally at 4 a.m. they re-opened and I got my boarding pass. Then thye wouldn't let me through security becuase my maiden name is still on my license. So i went back and it took like 45 minutes to put my married name on my boarding pass! So I went through security and they had to pat me down and all that jazz because my bobbt pins set off the metal detector. Then after I FINALLY got through it was already 5:30 so I ate breakfast and went to my gate and slept for 10 minutes and was boarded on the plane. THEN... I got a middle seat and couldn't sleep for the whole flight! It was the worst airport experience EVER! I got home at 11:00 am. and worked at 12 noon to make things even better. I slept beter last night than I have EVER slept in my entire life. Bryce said I started twitching after like 10 seconds of laying down! Funny. Hopefully I can sleep in real late tomorrow!
