Christmas tree

Picked out a good one this year! :)

In case you are wondering, we also picked it out on Civil war day :)

Dr. in the house

So I know it's been awhile, and this deserves some photos (of which I have none) but Michelle is unofficially, (officially as of Monday) a doctor! So proud! and definitely chalk that one up for a win in the science column :)

Wedding video!

I made a video from our wedding and honeymoon videos. It's just a shorted version of what I'll do for my real wedding video, but I wanted to share with everyone. Especially those who couldn't make it :)

Thanks to Tiffany and Dan for their filming skills :)

Honeymoon photos!

Here are some of the better photo's from the honeymoon. Eventually I'll have a Making Wunder up with some clips from it, and the wedding, but for now; photos :)

We got married!

So Michelle and I got married a couple of weeks ago, and I've been kind of bad about posting photo's from it.... So here are a few of my favorites. It was an amazing day, and it we so awesome to see everyone there! I'll have more later, and some video, but this is just a start :)

This will probably be the last one for some time, because now we are totally focused on the whole wedding thing :)

Mom's Day!

yay! A real post! So my mom, and Michelle's mom came down to Portland for the weekend, and we went on a little frolic through the Newberg winery trail.

We actually only made it to three wineries, but they were all great for different reasons. The first was small, and had a fantastic location, with beautiful views. Perfect for a picnic.

The second was run by a pretty worldly guy, who buys grapes from all over the globe, and has dozens of bottles of his own wine for sale. It was actually luck to stumble across this tasting room, as normally he only does it by appointment, but he happened to have some friends in town, and was giving them a tasting. He let us join, and it was awesome being there. Dana even got to sample one wine twice...

And last we went to the august cellars winery, which has fantastic, reasonably priced wines.

It was a success filled weekend, and it finally gives us a reason to post!

On Vacation!

Just wanted to let everyone know how hard vacation can be... I compleatly wore the Collins' out ;)

Fox?

Interesting... I think we may be getting a new pet to keep Roarie company, now that we are aware this is possible...

Colorado

Michelle and I took a trip to Colorado to visit Amanda and Trevor, two friends from Michelle's days at OSU.


I've never actually been outside in Denver, seeing only the airport on previous trips. Now I know what I was missing out on. Michelle and I were both amazed at how beautiful the scenery around was. We have photos to prove it :)






We stayed with our friends in Boulder, which is nestled right against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It's also the home to not only Celestial Seasonings Tea, but also a really cool tea house built in Tajikistan and donated to Boulder from a sister city.

It was a great trip, and when it finally ended, I don't think any of us were ready to go to the airport... but at least we caught a cool sunrise!

Wunder 8

Seems like posts come in pairs these days...
Anyhow, my camera is fixed, which means part 8!!

This one is me testing my first draft adapter. I'm actually really happy with how it's coming along, though I still have some work to do to get all the images cleared up.

But anyways, here is part 8. My favorite so far.... probably because it stars Roarie and Michelle :)

blazer game!

For the first time, since I think ever (well, maybe high school) Michelle and I were actually cheering passionately for the same team! Michelle took me to a Blazer's game for my Christmas present! It was awesome.

We had seats right in the first row of the top section:

Hence my ability to play spy.

Also, they scored 102 points, which means everyone in the crowd gets a free Chalupa! So awesome!!!

Wunder 7

Part seven, now! I promised myself I'd space them out, and never put two posted back to back... but I lied.... or broke the promise... or whatever... enjoy!

My camera is broken now and in the repair shop, so it could be sometime before the next one... sorry
