Dog Days of Summer

We’ve had some really hot days this summer in Portland and to battle the heat Zach and I have been taking advantage of our central air system. But we don’t want to waste all the sun inside so we’ve also been spending lots of time in our backyard. The dogs, with all their dark hair, [...]

Delicous!

Adrienne sent me this adorable picture of Zulu who had her first “big girl” meal yesterday. As you can see, she LOVED it!

Big. Wild. Fun.

A few years ago – the summer before we moved to the east coast – Zach and I went to the Clark County fair with my mom. We walked through the rides and games on our way out and I paid a couple of dollars to toss a few plastic balls into some water-filled bowls. [...]

Far From Folsom Prison, That’s Where I Want to Stay.

I believe that every relationship has a series of defining moments – occurrences that either determine or reinforce the roles we each play in each others’ lives. Yesterday, I had two such moments.
The first began when Zach called from Sacramento. He had been driving through a sketchy part of town after seeing one his accounts, [...]
