Over the mountains and through the woods

My roommate flew out to the East coast last week to meet her brother and drive back to Portland with him. She left her car and told me to feel free to use it! Seeing as I don't have a car anymore, this was really nice. I got to thinking on Wednesday or Thursday that it would be really fun to go to the beach. Then I though, why not get a hotel room and stay a night? So, I got online and found a cute hotel in Cannon Beach, cannonbeachhotel.com. I noticed they had this deal for last minute bookings, half off! So on Thursday I called and booked a room for Saturday night. I ended up splurging a bit and got a "Premier" room. It was that or the "Basic" and though they both looked nice, the Basic was missing a tub and fireplace.
So, I headed over on Saturday and I am SO glad I went! It was gorgeous on Saturday and the drive over was very nice. My room was amazing! A great four poster bed, a gas fireplace, an awesome tub... It was wonderful.
I'm thinking this is going to become a yearly, if not bi-yearly event... I bought a disposable camera on my way over, so once I get those developed, or rather onto a cd, I'll consider posting some pictures.
In the meantime, I highly recommend the Cannon Beach Hotel. It was very cute and with the half of deal, worth every penny!

Cebu? Really? That's the last time I blogged? Well, yeah, I guess it is. Well then... I think I'll just post pictures and let that catch me up on what's been going on with life :)

Eva the Princess

Yesterday I got the pleasure of watching Eva while her mom went on a date! We had such a fun time! Eve and I went to McDonald's for lunch where she got to play on the play structure for an hour +. Then we came home and drew pictures. Last time she was here we built a fort and at church she asked me if we could do that again. So, we made a huge fort. I wanted to take a picture of it, but I forgot. It took up the whole living room though, so it was pretty cool. After watching "Beauty and the Beast" Eva wanted to dress up. We found a skirt in Crista's closet and made her a "dress" that twirled. Crista and I put on our dresses too, but she wouldn't take a picture with us. Of course she lost her camera shyness and I've got several cute pictures of her. She's such a ham!

Barn Party 2007

I had a great time tonight at the 3rd Annual Barn Party! For the first time I entered into the chili contest and the pie contest. I was quite surprised to actually win both! Of course, mine was the only fruit pie, but I was up against some tough competition with spicy chili. Especially since I don't really like chili, or spicy stuff. I had Crista taste it first, and then another friend. I actually didn't taste it until after Stess had put some in her bowl. Wow it was spicy! I do have a funny story to go along with my items. Pictures are worth a thousand words, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, so you'll have to use your imagination. On the way to the party Stess had the crock pot of Chili sitting in a large cardboard box on her lap. In her hand was the pie in it's pie plate. We were driving her little Mustang and I was driving, trying to do so carefully so as not to spill the chili or dump the pie. We went up a small hill and realized that the chili wa...
