One Year Anniversary

Since Reid begins work tomorrow, we deicded to celebrate our anniversay a week early. We headed down to the Columbia River Gorge which is the Washington/Oregon border about 4 1/2 hours southwest from Spokane. It was BEAUTIFUL!

Our cabin was right on the edge of a bluff in White Salmon, WA. I hung my camera from a nearby tree to get a shot of both of us overlooking the Gorge.

This is the view from our cabin of Mt Hood in Oregon. The river is what divides Washington from Oregon.

We hiked Eagle Creek trail which is about 40 miles east of Portland and 25 min west of where we were staying. This is Punch Bowl Falls, one of the many waterfalls along the hike.

This was the ultimate beauty of a waterfall, which we got to walk behind. Tunnel Falls was the ending destination of our hike and it was definitely worth the six miles of hiking to get to.

Nothing else new with the Jennings family. Snyder continues to fit right in with us. I have now been running everyday (at least 2 miles a day) since we got him and I can already tell a difference in my stamina!

Up next on our calendar is a trip from Josh!

Adding To Our Family!

We have both been wanting a dog for a little while now, and took the opportunity of the move to be able to have one. Meet Snyder!

He is a German Shorthaird pointer who is about a year old. So we choose his adoption date as his birthday! (April 21, 2009) He went to the vet and checked out all healthy! So far he has adapted well. He just needs to work on not following us EVERYWHERE we go in the house. I'm sure that will cure over time.

For being a puppy he sure does sleep A LOT. His mom is nice enough to wake up early and take him on a run before work, and dad finishes up the excercise with a run in the afternoon. Sometimes the family will even take an evening walk together.

He is a smart little guy, and we think we got pretty lucky with finding him. His story was he was found as a stray in Oregon and the man who found him didn't have any time for him and kept him cooped up all the time. Despite all those puppy-dog looks he gives us for not letting him be outside, he's quite the lover and we think he will have a wonderful life as part of our family!!

New Place!!

While our first neighbors gave us great stories for our first year of marriage, we were definetely excited to move on! Here are some pics of our new place (which is just right up the street from where we use to live)
