We’re engaged! I’ve taken cool walks every morning for the last week! My cup is full with Marriage Certificate Trio & GD4L love! My belly is full of amazing Willamette pinot! I love Oregon!

On holiday weekends when I haven’t planned a party, I often forget it’s a holiday. This is a blessing—who doesn’t want a surprise long weekend?! This one is much-needed; a brief respite before we’re off to Oregon for two whirlwind weeks of work, wine, and my bestest friends in the whole wide world. Once I…
I’ve said this before: the person who says “oh this is so much fun!” is always perceived as the person having the most fun.

Then she started sharing space with a dear friend, yoga teacher, and the best masseuse ever. The world is small…
