Memories

August of 2001 my high school friend Hannah and I moved to Portland Oregon. It was a spur of the moment thing. A few days after we moved I went in to Blockbusters to rent a movie and ended up getting a job there. Hannah went in and also got a job there as well. I met Travis there when he was working an evening shift. The first time Travis and I really talked was on my 21st birthday. Hannah, Travis and I were all doing inventory and Travis wished me a happy birthday. Hannah and my other roommate Lacey started hanging out with Travis and his roommate Calvin. They would come over and we would go hot tubing and watch movies. The first movie Travis and I went to see was Zoolander. First place we went to eat was Mongolian Grill. First date out side of going to the movies was going to the Zoo. I met his brother Bryan and Sister in law Jennifer at Jennifer’s birthday which is Oct 8th. First Christmas present was a PS2. First time Travis told me he loved me was on Valentine’s Day. We got engaged 2004 New Year’s after coming back from a friend’s party.

Travis and I were married out in West Linn Oregon at Mary S Young State Park. Travis was working for Oregon’s Park and Recreation. The ceremony was at 4 PM, 4:30 we had a Buster’s BBQ for dinner. It was wonderful! So pretty much your typical summer wedding. However our reception we rented a bowling alley. We didn't get the bowling alley until 8 PM so after the wedding we were able to change and then hit the alley. We ended up ordering pizza later that night and had a great time. We had a great time and found our guest have fun too!

Yesterday Travis and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. As far as the actual day goes we didn’t do much. We usually celebrate after our anniversary due to being busy working and the last couple years being with Eoghan. Our typical anniversary celebration includes going out to dinner and a movie. I’d have to say that is probably my favorite date.
