Anniversary

One year ago Nik and I spent Halloween weekend together for the first time. We met in early October, but this was the first time we were actually able to spend some time together. He dressed as Rod Stewart and I was a baseball bat (play on words). We have been inseparable ever since. Maybe by distance, but never in heart.

In the past year, we have traveled all over the W and NW of the US. We have gone to Thailand, Germany, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy and Austria together. Nik has played professional baseball and I have gone back to school and started a career with a great company. We moved to Portland and we  moved in together. And now we are engaged. This was by far the best year of my life. 

On Sunday for our anniversary instead of dressing up and going out to the bars, we decided we would spend it out in Hood River. Hood River is about 60 miles outside of Portland. It is a small town right on the Columbia River. Windsurfing, kiteboarding, mountain biking and of course all the winter sports are very popular here. We took a tour of Full Sail Brewing, then walked around town and took Wanda swimming in the River. It was a wonderful and perfect day to the end of our first year and beginning of our years together. 

We got back into town just in time to watch the Giants play in the World Series. Yay, they won, which made for an even better ending to the best year.
