Cannon Beach!

We just got back from an awesome trip to Oregon. Not only did we have a blast at our family reunion but we also got to visit with my good friend Misty! Her parents have a vacation home on the Oregon coast and I was so excited that our Oregon trips would overlap slightly so that we could see each other and have our kids meet. Misty has two kids, Lexia who is 6 and Lily who will be two in October.

Misty and I, it was really windy!

Misty and I go way back, we were roommates our freshman year of college. We didn't start out roommates, we were both paired with some very interesting girls and half way through the year we decided we needed to live together and so we switched roommates. That was the best decision we could have made. We've hardly been able to see each other in the last 6 years years, every time we see each other it seems to be for a quick visit. 3 years ago we had a 9 hour layover (overnight) in Chicago so she and her husband picked us up from the airport so that we could hang out and sleep at their house. This time was only about 3 hours but it was so fun to catch up a little. It's so nice to have friends like this, we were sad that Tom wasn't there, he had to work.

Hayden and Lex had a great time running around on the beach together, climbing rocks, and feeding seagulls!
