How did the holiday season sneak up on me so fast? It still feels like yesterday we were sweating it in August and focused on pulling off a wedding! (The wedding and the sweating were probably correlative).
Here I am, almost 4 months later, and ready to fully embrace the Holiday Spirit. Here’s a little about what’s been going on the last few months:

I got this bike toward the end of summer, and have absolutely loved biking to work. I’d say I bike about half of the time, given the weather we’ve been having lately!

Osa has been working on being more photogenic, to much success. I help by taking possibly hundreds of pictures, and clogging up Instagram with my dog. #Osabear

I’ve had a few recent chalk art commissions, and was especially happy with this woodland/Portland scene featuring a menu for a truly wonderful and laid-back bride.

The weather has turned cold and rainy, so of course that means it’s cyclocross season! We’ve spent a good number of weekends in the cold and rain racing, cheering, and drinking beer for this cause.

Meet my mom’s new horse, Bella! She’s a sweet 10 year old paint, and Mom is completely over the moon.
