Oregon trip

Last weekend we headed on up to beautiful Oregon for the last Garner wedding. Geoff & Katie were married in the Portland temple on Saturday morning. We're really happy for Geoff and Katie and wish them the best! We're happy to have Katie in the fam :)



First off... I didn't realize how beautiful Portland is. Yeah, i've heard that it's really green and it rains a lot... so it's got to be a pretty nice place. But when we got there, i was in awe of all of the Huge trees and the lush green that you just can't get enough of. It's absolutely breath taking. I kind of felt like i was in a forest the whole time. When we got there on Friday, we had some time to waste so Brian and i got to visit my sister Dawn because she only lived about 5 minutes  from our hotel. That was really nice because i haven't seen her since our wedding! When you walk out to her back yard, there's a plethora of giant trees surrounding you, it was amazing, i loved it. I wish i took a picture. I suck with cameras :( 

In short... i want to live in a forest someday.

The trip as a whole was really fun. I, without a doubt, love Brian's family. It's indeed always a good time with them and i don't think any one could make me laugh more than they can/did. Thanks Shellene and Mike for the fun time! There were definitely a lot of fun memories made!


We hit up some Olive Garden right after we got there. It was a little disappointing though, the service was indeed slooooow. But, I still can't hate. I can't get enough of the O.G. mmmm!


Here's the happy man the day before the wedding.

Did I not tell you it's gorgeous?!


I like this pic. Almost everyone. Minus Mike, Shellene, Grandma Betty and Larry :( Well... half of Betty.


One of the many waterfalls we saw.


The boys.


A few fun things that occupied us that i can't leave out...

listened to a little TOO much of this...



And didn't play ENOUGH of this! haha.
