Our Portland Trip

Those of you who read our blog know that we went to Portland for our friend's wedding recently. It was amazing! It has been a while since I have been to a temple wedding, it was so great to be reminded of the things that are most important and how simple and beautiful the Gospel is! The Portland Temple is so stunning! It looks so white and brilliant with all the green that surrounds it. I loved it!!!
This is Rob and me in front of the temple, can you see my baby bump? It's not very apparent in these pictures.
We had so much fun at the wedding reception! The food was great. And the dancing... the picture says it all.
After the reception, we drove up to Olympia, WA to visit my sister, Cassie. On Saturday, we went to the beach. Here is Rob catching some rays. Cassie has the best pictures of us.
After the beach, we got cleaned up (ie: cleaned the sand from all the nooks and crannies that it somehow finds itself in) We met my brothers in Tacoma and had a fun filled dinner. Here is Josh, me, Cassie and Derek all smiling our biggest smiles. Derek cracks me up!!! My brother, Gabe, who is the only one of the original five not with us in Tacoma, is getting married in a few weeks. I am sure that we will have many more exciting pictures from the wedding. It should be so much fun to all get together again!

I hope that you enjoy the pics. Blogging is still a work in progress for me. -Amanda
