Our First Adventure to the Oregon Coast Together

Ahh, sand dollars, slimy fish, and squawking whiskered little seals. Tillamook ice cream, sandy clothes, salt-water taffy, and annoying sea gulls. Made-to-order complimentary breakfast and a gorgeous view of the sea from our room, beautiful green trees that never end, ferns and plant life that seem unrealistic. Waterfalls that mystify. Fancy art. Adorable little beach homes. Crashing waves. Endless beaches. A memory I will never forget. I forgot just how beautiful Oregon was. I didn't want to leave. I don't know that Devin wanted to either. I would love to live there. There is something about letting go of what you have in one place, even if just for a moment, and taking off on an adventure to somewhere new...especially with someone you have fun with. If anyone ever feels like the world is a cruel and ugly place, they should take a trip to the Oregon coast. Take your best friend along. Your paradigm will shift in no time. God's beauty is EVERYWHERE in Oregon. It is simply breathtaking. Bring a camera.

Who We Are

Meet us. We are the Robinsons. Married June 14th, 2008. Yes, Flag day, and also the happiest day of my entire life. We were married in a teensy, little greenhouse, much in resemblance of the Garden of Eden, I would imagine...or an exotic jungle...by Devin's old bishop, who some Utahns may recognize (Dan Rascon, Reporter for a local news channel). My step-dad, and dad walked me all but maybe 5 feet to Devin because I was too nervous to do that walk-down-the-isle thing. My mom and her parents were there, and Devin's parents, and one set of grandparents, and siblings were there. A very small audience. It was a bitter-sweet ceremony, as originally we had planned on getting married in the Jordan River temple. However, depsite our wedding change of plans at the last minute, the support was there from the Lord and from our families. After the wedding, we went to VEGAS BABY! We ate like pigs! I gambled a coin, until I realized I looked like a fool. And we enjoyed watching the Beatle's Love show. We now live in a very humble apartment, but it's decorated nicely :) Devin works at Fidelity Investments, and is very good at what he does. He amazes me at what he does. He deals with all the people freaking out about their money every time the stock market crashes. He is so smart, and I'm pretty darn lucky, because I'm a no-brainer when it comes to that. He takes great care of me. I enjoy my job working with three amazing girls with various disabilities. It has blessed my life to work with them. It has at times seemed like a curse, but I have realized that life could totally be much worse, and that I complain way too much. Both of us are still in school. I am taking a few classes this semester, and he is working on his internship. He has also been playing on a soccer team. I haven't been as active, which I need to start doing. Nonetheless, Devin and I are enjoying the married life. It hasn't been that big of an adjustment. I cannot wait for that first baby to come! I love being married to my best friend, and come June 2009, we will be sealed in the temple, and we have been working so hard for that goal! We cannot wait!
