24

I had a good birthday weekend with Jamir. We went to eat at the Coach House (special, because we never really eat out), took some pictures on a dock, and watched "McFarland, USA"(also something special because we never see movies) on Friday and then on Saturday, I got some new glasses (mine are from junior high), explored Bandon Beaches, and ate ice cream at our favorite Face Rock Creamery (cheese samples! the best!). Jamir cooked dinner for me today (Grandma's spear ribs:) so it was a nice relaxing weekend with the husband.


Tuve un cumple bueno con Jamirito. Fuimos a cenar a la Coach House, tomamos fotos en un muelle, y vimos McFarland, USA en Viernes. En Sabado compramos nuevos lentes, exploramos la playa de Bandon, y comimos helado en nuestro lugar favorito, Face Rock Creamery. Jamir me cocino hoy. Fue un bonito, y relajado fin de semana con mi esposo. 

The lime tree's first flower!
At the Coach House. The birds were not afraid to get really close to us (or our food!)

My attempt at taking some more pictures. It was extremely windy and cold so it wasn't the best idea. The dock kept floating around so the camera wasn't going to be still. But it was worth the try until next time.





I don't normally report on movies, but Jamir and I loved this movie! I could relate so much because of the cross country, but also because of how different the culture is between American and Latino. It was funny, but also made us tear up a little. It made me miss being on a team. Jamir also thought the culture was accurately expressed. 

Jamir y yo no hablamos de peliculas, pero nos encanto esta pelicula! Yo puedo relacionarnme mucho porque yo hize ese deporte, pero tambien por la differencia en las culturas Latina y Americana. Fue chistosa, pero tambien emocional. Extrano estar en un equipo. Jamir tambien piensa la cultura no esta tan alejada de la realidad en algunas partes de Mexico. 



Cheesecake, as usual.
 The walk along Bandon Beach was very scenic, but so so cold and windy. That place is always windy. I'm paying for it today with coughing and loss of voice. It was still incredibly beautiful.
Huge rocks at Bandon Beach

Cove. It's supposed to look like an elephant, but you cannot tell from the picture. 

Face rock, can you see it?
There were yellow flowers all along the coast.
Coquille River lighthouse
One of the coolest beaches we have been to. 
And then to finish with some ice cream.

Valentines Day!

Disclaimer: This post is very cheesy and lovey-dovey. Read at your own risk.

We had a lovely Valentine's Saturday. We started off with pumpkin waffles, blackberry syrup with strawberries and whipped cream-a tradition since Jamir bought me a waffle maker the first year we were married. Jamir then patiently took pictures with me near Golden and Silver Falls. I really would like to get better at photography and I'm happy Jamir is willing to do all the poses with me and goof around. We then hiked to the falls (we visited them in August) hoping to rappel. Unfortunately, they were twice the size than in summer so it was too wet to do any rappelling. But they were beautiful, and we had a nice hike as always. 
We finished off the day with traditional heart shaped pizza and reading our "Reasons I love you" hearts. Our life is not perfect, but days like yesterday come pretty close. I'm so happy I got a good one!

Tuvimos un bonito Sabado de St Valentin. Empezamos con waffles, jarabe de zarsamora con fresas y crema batida-una tradicion desde que Jamir me compro una "wafflera" el primer a~no de casados. Despues, Jamir pacientemente tomo fotografias conmigo cerca de Las Cascadas de Oro y Plata. Quiero mejorar en fotografia y estoy feliz Jamir esta dispuesto a hacer todas las poses conmigo y juguetear. Despues fuimos a las cascadas queriendo rappellear. Desafortunadamente estaban muy altas y no pudimos. Pero, estaban muy hermosas y tuvimos un buen caminata como siempre.
Terminamos el dia con la tradicional pizza en forma de corazon y leyendo nuestras "Razones por las que Te Amo" en forma de corazones. Nuestra vide no es perfecta, pero dias como ayer casi los son. Estoy feliz que tengo uno bueno.  


Jamir prepared the breakfast.
It deserved a close up. So good.
Preparing for the shoot. Unfortunately, the balloons floated away before we got any good pics. :)


Up in the tree. Oh well. Next time.
Chocolate cupcakes and raspberries! 

I love this picture of Jamir.


The balloons floated away because we got caught up enjoying our cupcakes.



Goofing off while the timer is still going

Jamir found a ladybug friend.

Favorite.


Silver falls. Sorry there is a big bush in the way.

Golden falls.

Jamir surprised me with a lime tree! He kept it at his work, so I wouldn't find it.

Our "Reasons I Love You"
And this big goof of a husband singing karaoke.
