ROAD TRIP, END

On the way out of Washington we had the most perfect afternoon with our dear friend Harmony. We met at PLU and walked around our old stomping grounds and enjoyed the beautiful place that we called home for 4 years. (This is Tingelstad Dorm where Harmony and I were freshman roommies all those years ago :)

In front of the dorm room we shared our first year of college...BTT, coffee, late nights, laughter, a sword, You've Got Mail, and of course friendship...it was the best year any girl could ask for!

David and I in front of the baseball field we spent so many rainy weekends enjoying!

Relaxing in Red Square on the beautiful PLU campus before heading back to Oregon.

David and I knew that we NEEDED to go to the Oregon Coast while we were home, we were so glad that my brother Darin, Dillon and Luke came with us and as an added treat my cousin Christina and her boyfriend came as well.

We spent the day enjoying the ocean and tons of sweet moments with two of our favorite boys

Brother and Sister, truly this man is fantastic and it was such a joy to spend the day in his company!

A perfect afternoon at Heceta Head Lighthouse

Loving the coast

Once in Eugene again, we spent a few days with my family...we enjoyed afternoons in the park, dinner to celebrate Alisa's birthday, dinner at Darin's house and of course a TON of laughter.

Can you see them holding hands? This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.

I feel so blessed to have this amazing, passionate, funny woman as my sister

Oh sweet Rowan, how your Auntie loves you

The Jaspers Family


Sadly, we did have to begin our adventure home. We took just three days to get back to Texas...but it was a perfect three days.

We stopped and enjoyed a beautiful lunch in georgeous Hood River surrounded by green trees, the water, and lavender.

We spent the night in Boise with Erik and Jenni again and it was AGAIN the perfect evening with friends. We were joined by other college friends, Amy and Kepa, and it was so lovely to catch up and enjoy one another's company!

A walk through Fort Collins, CO had us falling in LOVE with this great city

After a 12 hour day in the car and with a final 12 hours the following day we decided to splurge a bit and stay in a lovely hotel in Fort Collins. It was the perfect way to end our trip and to rejuvenate before returning to Texas. It was McCovey's first time in a hotel, and he did great.

Back in Texas...110 degrees...brown...and flat...Welcome Home Foxes what an amazing two weeks it was!
