Oregon Coast Trip

Courtney and I spent the long weekend at the burrly and frigid (but very beautiful) Oregon Coast. We camped at a "secret spot" overlooking the ocean near Canon Beach. We met up with our amazing friends THE BUTLERS! We met them while living on Maui and now they moved to Oregon! Casey's originally from Oregon but his wife, Mele, is a Tongan from Maui...both truly amazing people that we love spending time with! They are inspirational to us! Casey and I were able to test our manhood and get in water for some surfing. Needles to say, it was amazingly cold! What do you expect when it's January. Water temp was 49 and air temp was mid 30's! We could only last about an hour...but it was such an adventure!

Catch Up!

Here's a quick snip at what weve been up to lately...

A) Here's a pic of our new place we moved into. We love it! It's old and quarky but fits us to the "T"...it's on 2.5 acres of Pine Trees (feels like we live in the country), but it's still in the center of town...a perfect combo for us!
B) We've been non-stop social for the past couple weeks and it doesn't look like its letting up. In the past 2 weeks we've hung out with 3 different sets of people from Maui...so fun! The picture above is of our dear friends Dave & Sally (getting married this summer on the island...HURRAY!), we took them to a SOAKING POOL here in Bend. It's been so good to see everyone and catch up!

TCA


The Classical Academies is as ongoing client that I design for. They are based out of southern California, but I get to do monthly projects for them from my office here in Bend. Technology is amazing isn't it! My biggest clients that I work for are thousands of miles away from me. TCA is full of amazing people and they are my favorite client!
