Happy 4th of July!

We spent the 4th of July at our friend's house in the neighborhood. They have an amazing view of downtown Portland so it was fun to enjoy a beautiful afternoon and then watch the evening fireworks around the city. Here are some pictures from the day.

This picture doesn't do the actual view justice but I had to put it in.


Here are all the crazy girls being silly for the camera.


Sparkler time.








Pure joy!

Yes, I made it!

The past few months I've been studying to get my Real Estate License. I'm proud to say that I passed the exam a couple weeks ago. WHEW! It is safe to say I should not go back to school because managing children, family, work and studying was a little much for me. I literally am in awe of the people that do this on a regular basis, you rock! I felt like I was missing out on everything because I was studying but I passed and am now a Commercial Real Estate broker. I'm excited to have more opportunities at work and get back to normal life.
