A Day in Portland

Greg and I drove out to Portland yesterday for a wedding. Once we left the reception we realized how many of our Portland friends we wanted to visit. We decided to go and spend some time with Greg's family in Sandy because we hadn't seen them in a while, but both agreed that we need to dedicate a weekend as "Portland Weekend" so that we can visit many of our friends that we haven't seen in a while.

The wedding was at First Presbyterian on Alder St. It was a beautiful old church with a monstrous organ inside, beautiful stain glass windows, and courtyard in the back.

Like I mentioned, after the wedding we went to Sandy to see Greg's family. His dad and brother Brandon were building a lean to/place to park the boat and truck. Greg hopped in and got right to work. I watched and made fun of the Teune men :) My father in law joked at one point, "Yeah, you won't think it's so funny when we're building your house." He's absolutely right! I can't wait until the day when Greg gets his family to help us build a house (probably many years down the road). It was nice watching them work, they have such expertise with that sort of thing, I am clueless when it comes to building things.
