Sunset Beach

Wait....is that.....

Yep, it's a skull!!  Where's the buried treasure??

Don't judge.  I have been going back to the gym!

Dirty Dash Continued!

Keep in mind these pics are from a disposable waterproof camera that we carried with us for the race!!  Some pics are blurrier than others because the camera was covered in mud and water!!

Jake and I at the end of the Dirty Dash!

The end is near!

Wait.  Is there something in my teeth?  This is my beautiful friend, Jayme, by the way....

Thanks, Jake, for capturing my fall on film.

Me and Jayme!

My favorite part!

Dirty Dash-Eugene, Oregon!

Can't wait for next year!!!

Yesterday Jake and I did The Dirty Dash.  It's a mud run/obstacle course and proceeds go to benefit charities like the YMCA and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.  For more info and the race, or to sign up and participate in one of the events, check them out here: http://www.thedirtydash.com/


We had an awesome time!!!  These are pics from before and after that we took with my regular camera.  We also took a disposable waterproof camera with us during the race, and once I get those developed I will post more pics of us actually during the race, if any of them turned out!!!  It was a muddy good time!!  Jake and I did it with the assistant at my office.  Her name is Jayme, and she did awesome and had a great time as well!!  Next year we want to get more people to sign up with us and take a big group!!

Yep, that's right!!!

Puppies in the Ocean at Whiskey Run Beach near Bandon, OR

Deuce and Molly running into the ocean after their ball

Molly and Deuce looking for their ball

They are both SWIMMING!!!!

Molly is swimming in, and Deuce is waiting for her so he can just steal the ball without having to do any hard work.  :)

We found this homeless shelter!!  Ha ha. 

Newport, OR

Today Jake and I took a day trip to Newport, OR.  We had lunch/dinner at a sweet Irish pub downtown near Nye Beach.  It was so good!  

This is Nye Beach!!!

Then we found a trail down to Agate Beach to explore and I found this neat tree branch to almost hang off of.

This is the dock that washed up on Agate Beach in Newport, OR, from Japan!!!!!

Me on top of the Japanese dock!

Jake on the dock!!  It took about a year for this thing to float to the coast after the earthquake in Japan that happened last year.

Really cool rock we found on Agate Beach in Newport, OR

Jake and I on the dock from Japan.  And no, I did not purposely style my hair this crazily.  It was SUPER windy outside. 

We found this starfish in a tide pool at Devil's Churn on the way back to Coos Bay!!


It was a really fun trip!!!  The next pic is from a couple of weeks ago, but it is one of my new favorites so I will share:

This is me with our yellow lab mix, Molly!!  I love her!!!!!
