This last weekend was filled with some fun fall festivities! Friday night we had a game night with some of our good friends- Sarah & Lance and Geraldine & Bryan (Sarah and I have been good friends since 1st grade!) It's always fun getting together with old friends :)

Saturday night Colin and I organized a group outing to the Sauvie Island corn maze, with our church group. It was so much fun!! We went through a few times and even got pretty lost.



Colin and I joined a winery! After visiting this winery with every guest that comes into town we finally decided we should just become members! It includes free wine tasting for us and 2 guests at any time (any takers ;)) and every few months we get a shipment of wine and the winery hosts a pick-up party. For this month we enjoyed a hay ride tour through the vines and tried the different wines along the way. When we got back to the tasting room we tried the wines that came in our shipment along with a food pairing. It was pretty fun! And it couldn't have been a more perfect fall day!

Leaves are a fallin

How did it get to be fall already?! This summer went by insanely fast. Probably because we were so incredibly busy! But secretly (even though I am a hot weather girl through & through) I'm kind of liking the rain, yep I said it.

My job at Nike has kept me occupied, I'm starting to feel like a workaholic. There have been a few late nights and weekends, but at least I love my job and love the company I work for (also, loving the overtime pay since I am currently paid hourly)! And I guess this is the time to do that since we don't have kids yet.

Our Financial Peace group has been awesome so far. We obviously love the teachings and have been following for a while, but it's so cool to see other young people get excited about it too! We have about 14 people in the group. Yep, all crammed into our apartment!! It's fun though.

Last weekend Colin and I took a glass blowing class. Thanks to my mother-in-law for the Groupon! It was fun! We made stemless wine glasses, mine turned out a little sad looking. I didn't get enough air when I blew into the glass so it turned out really small and super thick. Also, we had to sping the glass in the fire while the instructor added the color and I wasn't spinning fast/consistenly enough (my arm was getting so tired!) so the color ended up really globby. Colin's turned out perfect. He's the artist in the fam :)



We look like we're enjoying ourselves. that's a good sign!

Also, now that it's starting to rain, it's getting close to the end of gardening season. This was our first year doing a vegetable garden and I had no idea how much we would actually harvest! The other thing I learned is that we are not used to eating that many vegetables!!

One weeks worht of harvest!
