Son of a Beach











This last weekend my wonderful and extremely sweet coworker, Sarah, invited Cody and me to join her and her friends at the beach. 



Mr. Prescott had to work, so we got a late start and by the time we arrived at Pacific City our group was eating dinner. We were also in  need of some grub and ate at a place called Ben and Jeff's right beside the Pelican. It was delicious! I would recommend the Cod Tacos!



Afterwards we climbed the dune with Sir Calvin Loo (a must at P. City). We soon called it quits when small drops of rain started attacking us and left to meet up with our group.







Everyone met up at Cold Stone and then drove over to watch the fireworks outside of the Chinook Winds Casino. Calvin had experienced fireworks in the past and handled them like a pro so he came with us. 

As we sat in fold out chairs, we talked about how amazing our dog has been. Looking back, it was border line bragging. "Oh he is just great," we said. "He was so easy to train," we said. Blah blah blah

Then the sky show began with a large BOOM! I cannot describe to you the volume and intensity of screams that mutt of ours began to make. It sounded much like a dying seagull that had been a chain smoker. It is likely that everyone in a 5 mile radius, were able hear the commotion. 

This is close to the noise he made:




The eyes of all those around us were accusing us of animal abuse as we ran our dog to the car and fled the scene. Calvin put on the real show that night, you are welcome Lincoln City.

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church  for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

God Speaks Through Skinny Fingers

When I had Easton, I think he zapped such a large amount of calcium from my bones that my fingers shrunk. I have no medical knowledge to support this claim, but for whatever reason, all ten digits are significantly more slim. While I have no objection to daintier, more feminine hands, it does pose one problem: my wedding ring no longer fits. For awhile I tried wearing it regardless; but the first time I enthusiastically told a story, using my hands to talk, that circular symbol of unity went soaring. Cody inspected the situation and concluded that, yep, he would need to take it to get re-sized. He planned to visit the jeweler in Portland right away. I set my beautiful sparkly band, so familiar to my left ring finger, in it's little box for safe keeping. 'He won't be gone long,' I comforted my now naked ,tan-lined finger. Eight months later.... Not wearing my wedding ring wasn't doing it for me. First off, I got hit on several times by some creep...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!
