A couple weekends ago, Em and Greg hustled down from Seattle after work on a random Friday. We met at a Fred Meyer parking lot, hilariously merged belongings into Taylor's car and set off for Sunriver. We knew it would be a quick trip, but we were determined to notch a getaway together before Taylor took off for Tax City, population CPA.
The plan--just like our plan the week before at Detroit Lake--was to ski one day and snowshoe the next. In our haste to get out of town, however, I forgot to phone ahead to Mother Nature and tell ol' girl to cooperate.
Much like our backpacking trip back in the fall, we didn't need perfect weather conditions to concoct a mighty fine weekend. The boys headed out Saturday for some serious fly-fishing, while Emily and I caught up on girl talk, rode our bikes around in the brisk 20-degree mountain air, and perused the new shops at the village mall. We also decided to do a little Sunriver bar-hopping, taking advantage of all happy hours we could find. This all before a serious halibut feast, courtesy of the Lagreids, and some out-of-this world duet action a la Doll and Dirt.

 |
| When it's pouring rain, the thought of organizing is a bit much. |

| Hey Dirt, want to sing some Johnny and June? |

| Saturday breakfast...the exact moment Emily decided she's not a vegetarian, and in fact, has a true passion for turkey bacon. |
 |
| And pumpkin waffles. |
 |
| Didn't think to ask for a general location of their intended whereabouts...but I did think to get a pre-fishing photo. |
 |
| These next few photos are from Greg's phone...this is the cabin he wants to buy for Emily. |
 |
| I think you missed your calling, Greg. Photography...where it's at! |

| She's up! And we're at 'em! |

| Since Hola at the Marina was closed for the season, we had to settle on margs here. |
 |
| And beers here. |

| How does someone look so good without makeup? Clearly I don't have the same gift. |

| Christmas card redo? |

 |
| Shhhhh...these fish are very smart! |

| Rounding out the weekend with a trip to 10 Barrel in Bend. How cute is the baby pint glass? |

| Best friends. Best pizza and beers. Best quick-trip to Bend. |
