More of our life here in the rain

So I realized I never put pictures of our apt up. So 5 and a half months later, here they are!!

Did I mention we got this bed for free? Ya we did. This picture doesn't do it justice, but it is really pretty in person, plus it was free.

This is where you will find TJ 95 percent of the time. Boooo!

The bathroom. We have two bathrooms, but ours was dirty:)

IT IS SO NOT FUN TO BE A JAZZ FAN IN BLAZER LAND!

So my best friend in the whole world got me jazz tickets for christmas! The game was fun. The jazz were ahead 20 points just in the first quarter. Plus we were THE ONLY jazz fans there. Not exaggerating! I was almost scared to take off my coat and sport my jersey. Ahhhh. what kind of fan am I! haha.

Oh and I am taking a cake decorating class so from now on I will post some of the stuff I learn. I am super excited for this. So after my class on tuesday I made the buttercream frosting and cake I need for next class and made a little sample for TJ. He loved it.

Oh how we love Tj's days off:)

First off, here is my recent baking. RED VELVET CUPCAKES ! I know, I know right? The best part about them? They are filled with cream cheese frosting. So delish.

Tj had the day off so we went to Mo's 12th annual crab and chowder fest at the Willamette Valley Vinyard. We love Tj's days off. It usually means adventure time! It was such a gorgeous day! 55 degrees, and look, you can see the sun in these pics! As soon as we got out of the city, the sun appeared. We havn't seen a lot of sun lately:( So this vineyard thingy was new to us. There was wine tasting and everyone seemed to be having a good time (if you know what I mean). We of course did not taste the wine, but they did give us a free wine glass, and we got some chowder and shrimp.

Tj drinking a Rock Star out of the free wine glass.

I have to say we live in a gorgeous place! Can you believe the grass is still green here! All should come visit! We are so excited for summer time to explore some more.

Clam Chowder.

Ok so here it is. THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER IN THE WORLD. I didn't even like clam chowder til I met TJ. (I also didn't eat sandwiches either and now I eat one everyday) Anyways.... Tj has this obsession with clam chowder. So when we first moved up here we drove to the coast and stopped by this little junky seafood place. Little did we know it is a hidden gem! This clam chowder is to die for! So whenever we have time we drive to the coast to grab some. So whenever any of you come to visit, we will take you here. If you don't like clam chowder, everything else is to die for too! I can't stop thinking about this warm apple tart we had for dessert there the other night!OMG!

My Weekly indulgence

So I made it a goal a few months ago to lose my Applebee's ten. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is the goodies I gained just by working at Applebee's for the last 4 years!!!! So I have been going to the gym religiously and on a diet. Yes I said a diet! And I can proudly say the Applebee's ten is gone!!!! But the only way I was able to keep my diet was to indulge once a week on goodies such as this one below. So this is my weekly piece of heaven, HERSHEYS "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE CAKE. And oh man was it perfectly chocolate. Me and TJ ate the two slices you see gone and then the rest of the cake is going to the missionarys that live next to us. If we do not give it away, my Applebees ten will be back by the end of the week!

The recipe can be found on Hersheys.com

This One is mine:)
