Life lately...

Hyrum and I have been just working lately and having a very busy life! We spent some time getting the house ready to have friends stay with us for a few days and have been working tons!

We finally got a second to breath and went and bought enough pumpkin to make pie for a year...



(Okay obviously not all of these are ours!)

and of course I had to get some fall flowers up in the house...



------------------------------------------------------

My best college girlfriend(Cassandra) flew in on Thursday to attend Graduation at WCI.I was able to spend some time with her and my god daughter Olivia! It was so great to be able to run around together like we used to and I cannot believe how big Olivia has gotten! Totally mind boggling...

Isn't she just adorable though?



---------------------------------------------------------

Our fun started out by attending WCI's first Alumni mixer at Restaurant Bleu. We saw some friends and chefs that we hadn't seen in a long time. There was wine and hors d'oeuvres. Some were pretty yummy, although the cake was only so-so. Maybe I'm just prejudice.



That was just the beginning of our girls night out on the town! Cass took the pictures because my camera (which I finally remembered to bring) had zero batteries! I will post the rest of the pictures later in the week when I get them from her!

----------------------------------------------

Today we went to Cass's graduation at the Portland Convention Center...





which happens to be a beautiful building with lots of art instillation's.

After graduation we went to dinner at Stanfords. I had some pretty good Macaroni and Cheese. It had Gruyere, Cheddar, and Fontina cheese. It was also served with bacon and Panko. Yum.

I love the interior and the art...





and outside of Stanfords, one of my favorite fountains...

As you can tell, we have been very busy lately! Time for a relaxing weekend!
