Arizona or Oregon?

Decisions decisions...

A little update on what is going on in our life. Jake is in the process of applying + interviewing from schools, he has had a few offers from schools all over but has accepted offers at Midwestern University in Arizona + Pacific University in Oregon. We just have one problem... we both are very indecisive + can not make a decision yet on where we want to go. We have gone to both places looked around + loved them both! Unfortunately I am lame + only took pictures at one place! So I thought I would just share the latest from the Adventures of Jake + Kalie.

When I was driving around looking at apartments I found this...

Could not believe how green everything was.

Jake was determined to cross this 3+ mile bridge + we found a way

Cannon beach so pretty

Multnomah Falls = Breath Taking

Kicking Summer Off With a BANG!!

Hello all...

Ok so now that the summer is half way through! I hope everyone has had a great one so far! So I decided to FINALLY post about our summer trips... I know right, Gosh Kal why do you have to a procrastinator. haha. Ok so in May once Jake finished with his semester we went straight to Hawaii with his family and oh my gosh it was so beautiful and so fun! I want to go back it feels like it is just a dream! We were there for a week and boy it was a much needed break! It was so fun drom day one we all had a blast together. The first full day we were there we did Road to Hana and that was so beautiful if you like scenery you would like this drive, but if you dont like sitting in a car for hours then maybe not so much. It was so fun to see the beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and beaches. Even though we almost died (the roads are dirt roads leaving Hana and barely big enough for one car so scary especially on a cliff.) on the way from Hana we survived the long drive and it was a day to remember! The next day we did a much needed beach day! We just sat around and was lazy by far one of the favorite days! Day 3 more beach and a Luau, day 4 beach, beach and more beach day 5 we did a snorkle adventure which is always fun and then day 6 we had to say good by but we ended it by going to the national forest and saw some beautiful scenery! Hawaii is gorgeous i would live there if I could! So here are the much needed pics from our vacation! Enjoy! Aloha!
