2. First off, how do you love married life?!

Ah, I love it so much!! It’s so fun to get to do life with your best friend. Everything with him is better, and he makes me better. I could go on for days about it.. but really I’m just crazy blessed.

3. What do you love about living in Portland?

Portland is so great! I honestly couldn’t see myself anywhere else, it feels like home here. I love the rainy cozy weather, the amazing food, the local coffee shops, and the people. It has such a small town feel for a city and I love that, the best of both worlds! And not to mention, it’s gorgeous!

4. If you were a flower which flower would you be?

Hmm probably a white garden rose. I just love the simplicity and elegance of them. Plus, they will forever remind me of my wedding since they were in my bouquet!

5. What places would you recommend to visit / eat / see in Portland?

Gosh, there are so many places! I’ll just list a few ;) My favorite coffee shops are Barista (their vanilla lattes are the.best.ever.) and Heart Coffee. Favorite restaurants: Oven & Shaker, Screen Door, Tilt, Bamboo Sushi (which is where we go for almost all of our date nights cause we can’t get enough..). And if you’re in the mood for ice cream..nothing beats Salt & Straw, it will change your life. The Portland Rose Garden and Multnomah Falls are must sees, so beautiful. Also, Schoolhouse Electric SO great. It’s a vintage furniture showroom with a floral shop and coffee shop inside, and it’s also where Alex proposed to me last year!

6. Where do you hope to see yourself in 5 years?

Hopefully starting a family! I want to travel and go see the world with Alex first, and then when we’re ready have some littles. I’ve always had a heart for adoption so we would love to start the adoption process! I know I’m not in control, so we’re open to wherever God takes us in life.
