my friend amber & i went to college together at montana state, we met through our mutual friend miki. her family moved to oregon so she finished up her degree at oregon state. after i graduated i talked to amber about wanting to move somewhere and try someplace new. had i ever been to oregon? (no). sounded pretty and amber said she could find us an apartment, (sounds good). so she calls me a week or so later saying "i found us an apartment!" so i packed up my u-haul and road tripped to oregon to find a job and check out another state for awhile! it was st. patricks day 1995. i don't think i ever planned to stay here but here we both are, married, both have 2 boys and are still great friends! she lives in vancouver and i am in salem but i am still glad i have a fellow montana friend not too far away. sometimes life takes you on an adventure and you just have to enjoy the ride....
they came down for a fun little family shoot a couple weeks ago, enjoy!
her handsome boys
