friday night
Friday was not eventful. I was home in corvallis frantically trying to finish up Tiffany's wedding gift and get to bed soon enough to get up early with little consequence. This did not happen. Though I did complete her gift, which was after all, the most important part of my evening. More on that tomorrow.
saturday
Tiffany's Bridal Shower was in the afternoon at her parents house in Gresham, which by the way is sooooo far out there, I seriously thought we were driving to another country! I got up early (with not much sleep), got ready, and headed to Beaverton to pick up Megan, and a cheesecake. Little did I know I was about to have a 'super fun' adventure. According to Tiffanys sister Alicia, I was supposed to bring a cheesecake and some cherries to the party... This turned out to be no easy task. Me and Megan visited and called about eight different grocery stores throughout Portland, Beaverton, and Gresham before FINALLY finding the cake right before the party only to discover that someone else brought one already. It was highly entertaining however running around all over the place in the rain, in dresses, trying not to get soaked. I am sure we looked like idiots sharing our tiny umbrella while cursing Paula Dean for stealing Oregon's cheesecake surplus (the most logical explanation for the lack of cake).
Moving on... the shower was really nice, there were little snacks and lots of little dogs to play with. One in particular I wanted to steal. So cute. Tiff got a TON of kitchen items, a beautiful robe, a Shakeweight, and some Snuggies for her and Jason. Megan got her a super sparkly scrapbooking album (I noticed that you do that when we were first hanging out, hopefully you still do!) and I gave her my painting.

saturday night
Me and Megan met back up with Tiffany and her fiance Jason for a drink and some silliness before deciding to go downtown and get some drinks. It was POURING and extremely windy. We parked as close as we could to Vault martini bar, which was NOT close, and then braved the trek to the bar. Unfortunately it was filled with... lets say, not really our crowd... so we took off and decided to head over to the East side for something a little more mellow. We ended up at a bar called The Sapphire Hotel. It was really cute and little, decorated with lanterns, peacock feathers, and minimal lighting. After we were there for a while though I noticed that we were literally the only non couple in the place...... so maybe it was our date night? I wonder if they thought we were on a date... silly. It was a perfect mellow Saturday night though.

sunday
I packed up my stuff, grabbed Megan, and we headed back over to the East side to hit up the vintage shops on Hawthorne! I have been wanting to go again for a really long time. We both got some goodies. I picked up a poster (soon to be framed and hung in my entrance area), a dress, some sweet necklaces, old Life magazines (for my dad), a birthday present for Colleen, a pair of Oxfords, a souvenir for Pat, and a sweet vintage colored glass candy bowl for my nail polish stash! Finally we took off and I headed to Salem to meet Pats family for dinner, and that was pretty much my weekend. Not too shabby.
