Our New Addition- Holly Pena

Our Christmas present was adorable Holly Pena. We found her at the Humane Society and immediately fell in love. We spend lots of time at the dog park now and playing in the backyard. She's a little over a year old and so much fun. I made her a Burberry rain coat for all of those rainy Oregon days.

We're Married!

What an amazing wedding! We had so much fun with our friends and family, thank you. More photos to come, stay tuned.

Less than 2 Weeks!

So we've got less than 2 weeks till the wedding and everything is coming together perfectly. If you plan on coming to Tahoe here are a few things to remember:

1. Weather: 75degrees during the day & 45degrees in the evening. Bring a jacket.
2. A candy store awaits you at the reception.
3. Pizza on Friday Night will be very laid back and fun.
4. During your stay you must see Emerald Bay and Squaw Valley.

Bridal Shower: me and my bridesmaids

Advance Trip to Lake Tahoe

We drove to Lake Tahoe for Memorial Day Weekend and it was as beautiful as we had remembered it. The 9 hour drive was quite pleasant and easy with lots to see and options to stop. We camped on the West Shore in Meek's Bay and toured around all of the sites for the wedding.

The Lodge in Tahoe Donner where the ceremony & reception will be held surpassed our expectations. These are pictures of us with my folks, Jack & Sue, in the Village at Squaw.
