So my friend Bianca flew up to OR from California this weekend! It was a spectacular early 21st birthday surprise. We took a trip to the coast, had a dinner/wine night at our place, and went blackberry picking earlier today. This girl is the bomb! I don't want to brag, but she gives a pretty mean birthday gift(s) - as if having her come visit wasn't an awesome gift enough! She works for Gallo, so I got the upcoming 21 year olds dream gift- several bottles of wine, and wine accessories. She is also an amazing artist, so she made me a Bianca original, which I'm going to go hang up as soon as I finish this blog.
After a year of marriage and living on the opposite side of the country from our family, I am so excited for these quickly budding friendships! It seems like it's tying my whole life up in a pretty package, and it feels super fulfilling.
Scroll down for pictures from our weekend visit.
Oh, and on an unrelated note- I totally broke my pinky toe on Friday! I was walking through a doorway and stubbed it. It has some pretty colors on it, but is completely pain free now (barring the few incidents a day when I bend it a weird way on accident).
Hope all of you guys had a beautiful weekend. Love and miss you!

Rolling, rolling, rolling... raw hide!
Bianca- blackberry picking
Mike was our biggest (or should I say 'tallest' asset), at 6'4", he could reach all the good berries!

About to say Goodbye to Bianca :(
The pictures are wonderful! And you are toooo kind :) But I have to be honest, what I really wanted to see were some gnarly purple toe pics!
