We took a little trip to the Painted Hills of Central Oregon with our fellow Bend-ites "the Parla's" & "the Fitch's". It was a rainy day but the hills still looked unreal. Up close the hills look like kitty litter...weird clay type soil...beautiful, but weird.
The Parla's and Fitch's are our close friends that we've connected with here in Bend. We currently meet together as a small group, and we also share a lot of life's joys together. We're meeting together and praying for direction right now. We all share a heavy burden of wanting do something HUGE with our lives...something bigger than us, and out of the norm. We feel honored to share life with such extraordinary friends.

"The Valley" Trip
We took a four day trip over to western Oregon to visit a bunch of our Maui-an friends. Our days were filled with killer art shows, skate parks, nose piercing, bottomless coffee, soccer, interstate driving, kickin' it downtown Portland, visiting George Fox University and Oregon's annual Tulip Festival.
This is Courtney getting her nose pierced in Portland. Notice the amazingly sympathetic husband standing by her side. (FYI, I think the nose ring is SUPER HOT)

6 Months of Marital Bliss
Well folks, it's been six months of marriage and we're still stoked! It totally seems like yesterday when we were on Maui playing in the ocean, and it seems like 30 minutes ago when we were kickin' it in SoCal prepping for the wedding. Looking back, it's crazy to see the adventure we have been on! And it's not letting up anytime soon. The next 6 months are packed full of adventurous plans. Stay tuned for some summer fun in the Cascade Mountains, Kansas, Missouri, SoCal, NorCal, Washington, the Oregon coast, and Canada! To see some wedding photos, go ahead and CLICK HERE
Smith Rock, Oregon
As we've been exploring the outskirts of Bend, we are finding out how crazy diverse this area really is. You go 20 minutes West and you're high in the mountains with green meadows, snow capped mountains, and endless lakes. If you go South you're deep into miles and miles of endless pine trees seated on rolling hills and buttes. If you go 20 minutes East, you run into high desert and crazy rock formations such as Smith Rock. What a place! There are more than a thousand bolted routes for climbers. It's a rock climbers paradise and one of the best in the nation. We spent the afternoon hiking through the canyon and watching climbers do their thing...crazy climbers...at least they were winning.
