Hard to believe it's been a year since I moved to Portland. The time went by so fast. And so much changed in my life! Just take a look at the past few months travels...
July trip to New Mexico & southern Colorado to meet James' family
It's a long trip from sea-level Portland to the mile-high-plus Colorado plateau

Lots of family to meet


And places to see


In August, we met the rest of Karen's family in San Diego for a "beach" vacation and some wedding prep work.



And the capper of them all, although I guess technically summer was over by then, on October 1st, James and I were married on Mission Beach in San Diego.







More photos and the full ceremony text to come, once we receive the photos from the photographer (these are all "snapshots.").
