Wunder 6

Part six. I waited a little bit to post, because I didn't want people to think the project was slowing down. Part 7 coming soon :)

Snow Day

So we don't get a whole lot of snow in Portland, thus yesterday, when we had a surprise downpour of it mid afternoon, a lot of people panicked and took to the roads trying to get home. In fact, I think everyone in the Metro area was in a car trying to drive somewhere, since it took me an hour and a half to drive the 6 miles from Michelle's work to our home.

But it made for some really nice photos!!!

A Merry Christmas

So it's been awhile since we've posted, and as you could guess, it has a lot to do with the busy holiday season. Michelle and I spent the last week and a half driving about 1000 miles to visit all our families up and down Oregon and Washington.

We spent some time in Medford with Michelle's Grandpa and family, and then up to Cottage Grove for some time with the other side of Michelle's family and Grandma. From there is was back to Portland, and on to Astoria to visit our mom's and dad's, and then up to Seattle area to visit my grandma, aunt, uncle, cousins and brother. All and all a busy time.

All our photo's are from the latter half of the trip, and you may notice the quality has gone up... that's because for Christmas the Bernys got us an awesome new camera, and we've been using it non-stop ever since :)

Wunder 5

Longest one yet.. thanks to Tim on this one... he not only filmed a lot of it, but I basically made it based off his shorts, so thanks for showing me how it's done Tim :)

Broken Camera

Hello... so sorry for the lack of posts, but our camera broke, so we missed out on all sorts of visuals which may have made our posts interesting... but Michelle fixed it like a pro, and so we should have more up soon :)

Wunder 4

They just keep coming :) Hope you enjoy!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!
Michelle and I decided that we would mix it up a little bit this year, and so while the menu was fairly familiar, we added some different flare to the dishes.

This was our selection:
Roasted Turkey
Brandy cranberry and sweet potato stuffing
Garlic and herb mashed potatoes
greenbeans with garlic, tomatoes and spices
Rolls from scratch
Sangria fruit and jello mold
cranberry, pear and orange relish

and for dessert, both home-made:

Mayan chocolate pecan pie
Pumpkin cheese cake

It was yummy :)
here are the photos...

In this first set, Michelle was lifting up the pecan pie for the photo, but then, dropped it. lucky for us there wasn't much damage :)

Then, just some other photos from the day...

Announcement!

Hello! So I was looking at the Astorian online last night, and it turns out that Michelle and I are getting married!!

Check it out here:

Ducks vs. Beavers

So Michelle and I have our different areas of study... hence the art vs. science theme. Be we also have a much greater battle between us... the fact that I went to the UofO and Michelle when to OSU. So each year there are always a few days where we draw a line in the sand and take our sides. This will happen again on December 3rd at 6PM. However, this weekend, I went to a much less tense match-up of Oregon Vs. ASU. It was fun, and they won by a lot :)

Wunder part 2

Just put up part two as well. I hope you enjoy.

Tickets

So, just a brief note... to anyone who is going to be in the Tempe AZ area next weekend, and wants to buy tickets to the ducks game there... I inadvertantly ended up with 3... see I thought it was a home game... blast.... but if you know anyone who needs some, send them my way, I'll give them a steal ;)

Web series!

So Tim and I have been writing a movie together for sometime. I haven't had much chance to film anything myself for awhile, and since Tim moved to New York, he started a collection of videos about his experience there. That got me thinking that maybe I should start a web series about trying to make a movie. It's a little abstract in its beginning stages, but I hope it will help capture the whole process of filming from writing, to actual premier... so as with all experiments, we'll see how it goes. Here is part one. I hope you enjoy.

More to come

Parenting is rough...

Haha, ok, so Michelle and I aren't parents, but we do have a kitty, and as we discovered, she has a sensitivity to her Advantage flee medicine. If we put it on too high up on her head, then she loses her hair (temporarlly...)

So in order to keep her comfortable, while she is balding, we have a special cat ointment that we put on the irritated skin... unfortunately she doesn't like this ointment, and tried to paw it off. So tonight we had to put on a make-shift cone device in order to keep her from pawing at it. needless to say, she wasn't thrilled... here are some photos.. :(

Halloween

So it's strange, but it seems that we always start these blogs up sometime around Halloween... maybe it's just the changing seasons, or the fact that it's the start of a Holiday/excitement packed time of the year, but either way, here are some photo's from out Halloween this year. I was a Mariachi player, and Michelle was a butterfly. Roarie (our cat) was lame, and didn't go out this year or dress up, but she did like Michelle's wings...

New Blog

Since we are no longer in the Netherlands, I thought we could still use a blog to keep track of things... between the wedding, michelle's school/conferences, and my movie stuff, it's hard to keep everyone informed, so this will be easier!

We'll post information about the wedding, photos of our trips, info on what we are up to, and even a webseries about Tim and I trying to make a movie. Should be ten types of fun! Hope you enjoy :) You can find links to the Maastricht blog on the right, as well as to tim's blog, because it's awsome and inspiring to me. I'll also include a link to our official wedding page!
