Happy Halloween Weekend

Have our lives gotten boring? I feel like I used to have such exciting things to post (I mean Harry Potter, and paintings??? You can't get much more exciting than that!!) and these days I feel like I'm talking about pumpkins the same things over and over again.

No, I know we haven't changed a bit... or well, what I mean is, I know we haven't gotten more boring. I think the truth is that we have gotten more busy and in a routine. Three years back my blog posts were different and I was posting every other day because we were moving around a ton, and I was taking exciting brand new art classes, and Portland was brand new. 

I feel like I may have neglected to announce our "Portland-anniversary" this year... maybe I didn't, but if I did... September 12th marked our three-happy-years here. And since I'm always posting about new places we've been or new recipes we've tried, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about our tried-and-true Portland Favorites and what our life really looks like right now.

So here we are in year three and:
Our favorite shared activity 1: Watching Madmen together (Year 1 it was: reading Harry Potter, Year 2: watching Heroes)
Our favorite shared activity 2: Going to Powell's to look at travel books.
Our favorite restaurants are: Avignon Bar and Pok Pok (ok.... Clyde Common too!)
Our "go-to" coffeeshop: Palios (though, honestly we don't spend as much time here)
A favorite coffeeshop: Little t Bakery
Classes I'm taking: Contemporary Art History, Critical Theory (Philosophy of Art), Meaning and Making
Katie's Drink of choice: I love me some red wine. How did I ever not like this stuff? I'm trying to remember...
Wes' Drink of choice: still my whiskey-man, through and through.
Our latest food discovery: The Manila Clams at Pok Pok. Amazing, and so fun to eat!

Ok that's all the update I have time for... Oh and of course pictures!
 

We had a wonderful time carving pumpkins after a trip to the The Pumpkin Patch. More again soon!
