Anniversary


3 Precious, unforgettable, redeeming, adventurous, growing, fun, passionate years with my beloved.

For our anniversary on September 17th, Mike planned a day of fun surprises. First, we went to breakfast at a very unique portland venue: Jace Gace. Part restaurant, part rotating art gallery, the place serves waffles--sweet and savory, beer and coffee--and that's it. It was fantastic! I'd never done the whole 'morgen bier' thing before and oddly, it works well. Somehow the icey cold beer works well with coffee and gravy-slathered waffles.




Then, he'd planned for us to visit Benton Lane vineyard which ranked on the top 100 wines of the world! Even crazier, when there we got a personal tour from the owner himself. AWESOME.




...then after a tour and tasting, my beloved had planned a scrumptious picnic for us in a nearby State Park. 



Meanwhile, Audrey was having a blast with her babysitter, Kara (who we met as a nursery worker at Imago.)

That is an adorable photo of you & M! Hard to believe it's already been 3 years; Mike seems like he's been around forever, so well he fits you.

I couldn't agree more (with Kell's comment). It feels like Mike has always been a part of our lives, and even better is that we know he always will be. Whether he likes it or not.
