On our west coast road trip, we went all the way up the coast of California and entered Oregon. I had only been to Oregon just to cross the state line and say I'd been there. Travis had never been there at all. We were both excited to see what this state had to offer. We weren't able to spend a lot of time in Oregon, but we saw there main spots that were beautiful. If you go to Oregon, I highly recommend visiting these three places! Must-Sees in Oregon Multnomah Falls This was probably our favorite spot in Oregon. A friend who is originally from Oregon recommended we go see it, and I'm so Continue Reading

During our time in South Korea, Travis and I wanted to take advantage of his time off of work for Thanksgiving. We had heard from lots of people that traveling to the Philippines was very cheap. We like cheap. And we love the beach. So we booked the tickets! Over the four day weekend, Travis and I traveled to Boracay, Philippines.

Keeping Busy
As I told you before, I went to Indiana at the beginning of August to spend time with family while my husband is gone for training. I was determined to keep busy so I wouldn't get lonely. The first part of my trip was all about my sister-in-law's wedding, but I also got to spend a lot of time hanging out with Travis' family. Then, I headed south to my own family. And boy, did I keep busy! First, we had my cousin-to-be's bridal shower. I was so, so grateful I was able to attend! Everyone did a great job decorating and planning games and food.

Oh well, here's a list of all the ways I've seen sunshine since the last time I posted: One night I went over to my cousins house and the three of us laid on top of the roof -- star gazing, drinking hot chocolate, chatting and laughing a lot. It was such a great night. We even saw six shooting stars. Even though it was night, I saw more sunshine during this moment than I have all month — definitely an unforgettable memory. I had a date night with my mom one evening. We went to Continue Reading
