New Apartment

I can't believe how long it's been since my last blog post, I've definitely got some catching up to do. First of all, last weekend we moved to a new apartment in downtown Portland. We really enjoyed living in Hillsboro and met a lot of great friends out there, but we wanted to be closer to downtown. We love to go out to eat and were always driving downtown anyway, so we figured that we would make the move to be closer. We found a great apartment in the South Waterfront area of downtown. Also, I'm super close to work now, no more dealing with traffic on the 26 and I'm pretty happy about that. We are still trying to organize our apartment, so once we get that all done I'll post some pictures. In the meantime, I wanted to post this picture. I absolutely love this idea. Jeff saw this in one of the design books I got from the library and he thought it would work nicely in our new kitchen. We got the shelves from Ikea. I love how the cookbooks give a pop of color to the room.

Winter Wonderland

Today was a crazy day in Portland, it snowed! We rarely get snow, so when it does happen, nobody knows how to react and the city shuts down. I'm not sure how to react either since I've been living in Los Angeles for awhile. I think I'll just admire the snow from the inside, where it's nice and warm. Here's a picture from our apartment.
