Opal Creek

We have wanted to go on a back packing trip for a long time now, so this summer we finally made plans to.  Granted it was not a very far back packing trip, but you need to start somewhere right?  We figured we better start small before we can go bigger.  Anyways we had an amazing time on our trip.  We went to a place called Opal Creek in Oregon with Cooper and Jen Trost.  The hike was  about the three miles to the spot we picked to camp out in.  I think we got the best spot out of all the places you could stop at.  This is because right below us was a river that was a few feet off the trail.  This river was the most beautiful river I have ever seen!  It was so clear you could see every little rock in the water. Also the main reason we went to this place is because it had what we called a butt slide.  There was literally a slide made from the water rushing down. Let me tell you the water was soooo cold(this is because it was glacier water run off) I could only get half my body in the whole time.  It was freezing, but this slide was so fun! We have some pictures and video's that turned out pretty good, so I will post those too.  Once we got done playing in the water and sliding down the butt slide, we immediately got a fire going and took off our wet close because we were so cold.  We had a lot of fun making our food and have smores after.   We are those kinds of people that love to just sit by the fire and talk about good old times.  If we could do that every night that we be the best. The next day we went "swimming" again, ate lunch, and then packed up to headed back home.

On hour hike back home we stopped at this one spot that we saw a lot of people coming out of the day before and oh my gosh it was so beautiful.  I will post those pictures at the end of all the butt slide ones. Because the water was so clear hear that the pictures look amazing! I will stop my rambling on about this amazing place now and let you see these amazing pictures of the place.

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new. They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago. I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news". I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news,  but I had an idea of what he was going to say. I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything. We were moving. Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears. He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR    Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the bus...
