Weekend in Portland!

Trent had miles from his credit card at work and let to fly to Portland for the first weekend in December.  I ended up missing the ward adult Christmas Party and Trent's work Christmas Party.  Of course right after I bought the tickets the work Christmas Party was moved to the weekend I would be gone.  I flew into Portland Friday afternoon and got a rental car.  I spent the afternoon with my sister Stephanie and my adorable nephew Liam.  It was so fun to see them and spend some time with them.  The afternoon went by too fast.

I spent Friday night at my friend, Liz's house.  She treated to dinner at a yummy Tai restaurant where Trent and I used to go.  Then we went to Deseret Book and went shopping.  I don't have Deseret Book nearby so it was fun to go.  After Deseret Book we sent back to her house and watched Eclipse in preparation for the following night when we were going to watch Breaking Dawn.  Saturday morning I got up and actually went shopping again at the Apple Store.  We haven't got a new computer in over 6 years and decided to dive right in and become Apple owners.  I bought an Apple laptop but at least I saved money on tax buying in Portland.  Trent was excited for me to get it.  I spent Saturday afternoon with my dear friend, Deb.  Saturday night I went out to eat with all 3 of my friends Liz, Deb and Holly and afterwards we went and watch Breaking Dawn.  This was the 2nd time I had seen it.  (I went opening night with the ladies from my ward and it was a very fun experience to be there with all those crazy fans!)  It was a very fun night and felt so good to be with old friends.

Sunday I was able to go to my old ward and see even more friends.  It was great to see everyone.  The ward has changed a lot but that is what happens.  Sunday afternoon and evening was spent at my friend Holly's.   Monday morning I flew out at  6:00 in the morning and so it was an early morning.  I wanted to be home before the kids got home from school and that was my only option.  I had a great weekend with my friends.  It was is always good to spend time with them.  The weekend went by way too fast and I wish I could have spent more time with Stephanie and been able to see Brooke.  Brooke was out of town for most of the weekend.  I am looking forward to the next time Trent has enough reward miles so that I can come again!
