Life since August

I love pictures, and so I thought I'd show everyone what the last 6-7 months of my life has been like with a bunch of photos. Enjoy!

SUMMER:
My parents and I drove up to Timberline Lodge one day at Mt. Hood. It is so beautiful up there!





























Hanging out with Tammi before she and her family moved to China.













My Dad and I went on a hike to Serene Lake. We enjoyed gorgeous scenery, but also got eaten by about a million and one mosquitoes!















Lunch at my sister's house with my grandparents and all the great-grandchildren that live in town.







































Fun with the Satterthwaites: Jackson & Olivia, Drew, and Lincoln





































My 29th Birthday!




























Camping with my Dad at Snow Mountain




















FALL:
My friend Connie getting baptized!!!!











Trip to Colorado to WorldVenture Headquarters to help with the Hope Alive! walk-a-thon

Halloween!

















WINTER:
Snow, Snow, and more snow! The biggest snowstorm I have ever seen in Portland...18 inches dumped. Awesome!



















Christmas celebrations. On Christmas Eve and Christmas day we were without electricity--no lights, no heat, and no running water....hence all the hats and warm clothes...our family Christmas was a few days later and was a blast! Lots of kids and chaos, but lots of fun too :)
























































































Megan and Phil's Wedding: At the beginning of January, I took a trip to Akron, Ohio to see my Ugandan roommate Megan get married. It was a fun occasion. Many people who had been in Uganda were able to come so it was like having a mini-reunion!


















































Pajama Day & Valentine's Day celebration at work:












































Great Times with my niece and nephews: Elijah & Micah, Drew, Lincoln, and the twins



















































































Catching up with College friends: Shelby and Kathleen, Deanna and Hannah
