Sauvie Island Center’s Barn Dance Recap

Filed in: Events

I’m currently writing this blog post from 30,000 feet up, while flying back from a day trip to Arizona. Yes, you read that right, I hopped on the plane bright and early at 6:15am and then went back to the airport at 2:45, getting home about 8pm. Definitely a quick day of meetings but long day overall. That is just the perks of the new gig!

Overall the new job is going well, though keeping me busy for sure. Hence some of the delayed posts, plus I’ve been working with Bobbi of Ready to Blog Designs on this awesome new layout for Bakery Bingo! Continue Reading...

If you live in Portland, then hopefully you are aware of the insane number of high caliber food and drink events throughout the year. We are real spoiled out here in the Rose City. We’ve got the Oregon Brewer’s Fest which took place last weekend, which is one of the biggest beer festivals in the nation. And then Feast Portland in September? SO EXCITED for this four days of food madness. There is nothing else like it.

And then one of my all-time favorite events: Counter Culture hosted by Anne Amie Vineyards. Imagine this: a gorgeous summer evening at a beautiful winery that overlooks the valley; 14 of the best local restaurants; and of course lots of wine from 13 wineries from around the world. While you are enjoying all of the delicious food and drinks, there is music in the background, hammocks to relax in and a giant fire pit when it starts to get chilly. Continue Reading...

5 Years Later

Five years ago today, Brice and I got married!

Holy cow, that is a long time! It really doesn’t seem like it was that many years ago! But they do say time flies when you’re having fun, right?

131 - E&B before wedding

Our wedding was really amazing. We got married at Garden Vineyards, an events-only winery in Hillsboro. It was a gorgeous location and just what we wanted – beautiful, simple, and private.

We had a small group of friends and family – ok, I say it was small because we had about 65 people; Brice on the other hand still says that was huge! But it was so wonderful having all of our favorite people in one place. (Also weird looking back on the guest list and realizing some of the really great friends we’ve made between then and now weren’t there since we didn’t even know them yet!) Continue Reading...
