First attempt at being a housewife...

This was dessert, imagine what dinner looked like! Hey, at least I'm trying! Let's just say they actually tasted better than they look. I tried again a week later and they turned out much better. How does that slogan go: try, try, and try again. I may be living by that saying for awhile.

Birthdays, Bikes, Beer, and Bratwurst!

Our annual Bike Pub Crawl through Portland was successful for the second year! We had a blast and no one got a BUI. Eight bikers this year...we're hoping next year to get 15! Who's with us?!? The gender parade even came along with us to celebrate our birthdays!

We had an exceptional birthday weekend with temperatures of over 100 degrees...but it made for beautiful sunsets! This is an attempt of riding over the broadway bridge, taking award winning photos and not falling into the water! ha! Thanks to all that celebrated with us.

Pure entertainment!

I'm beginning to think this blog may turn into my own reflection on marriage or better yet, "the adventures of living with John Mark."

Yesterday, we partook in the Portland Bridge Pedal. We had to leave the house by 5:40am to ride (& max it) to the start line in NE Portland. We perfectly planned our wake up time based on waking up, brushing teeth, getting dressed and then departing. Well at least that was my plan. John Mark on the other hand, sneakily planned on making himself coffee in the morning. When the alarm went off he went flying down the stairs to push the "brew" button. I was annoyed he was making coffee when we needed to go but also surprised he was attempting this alone... I had only showed him once. Anyways, I came down just in time to watch him pick up the coffee pot with a very confused look- the pot was extremely light, in fact empty. Poor JM forgot to put the water in the coffee machine. Oh, honey- don't do things without the supervision of your wife!
