a fun saturday trip...

on saturday, "my friends from church" and i went to scenic hwy 84 in portland - we went to see the vista house and 4 different waterfalls (maybe 5?) - the most popular being multnomah falls... it is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world... we did a little bit of hiking, and for the most part, the weather held out... it was a fun trip... and it's something that is really close to where i live that i haven't done before... there are several other things that i haven't done, but this was a good start... i think we're going to challenge each other to do some of those "i haven't been there" things... pretty soon, i'll take them to 23rd in portland and we'll go to papa haydn's... yum...

it has been a HUGE encouragement to me to have new friends in my life... they came to church not too long after i started going to tri-mt... and it's just been a good fit... i told them the first sunday that they came that we were going to have to be friends... and that they were just going to have to deal with it... but it seems like we share this natural bond... and it's just fun to have girl-friends to hang out with... they're all related to each other - angela is the older sister, beckie is the younger sister, and jessica is the cousin... (not identical) they all get along so well, and i force my way into the equation - but we all have a great time...

so yea!! for my new friends and a fun saturday trip to multnomah falls!!! (see pictures below!!)
