Right when I hit 16 weeks, I made myself a cup of coffee. I haven't done that in 15 weeks. My stomach was so sensitive and coffee is acidic so I didn't even want to go near it. But now I'm ok. One cup of coffee is ok and that is usually what I drink anyway. I probably won't drink coffee everyday like I usually do. Unfortunately I STILL get sick but at random times. I hope it's not like this with the whole pregnancy.
Wedding in Oregon
One of our friends got married this past weekend and a good handful of us flew out for the event. We arrived Friday evening and the wedding wasn't until Sunday so we decided to be tourist in Portland for the next few days. Portland I noticed has a lot of hippies LOL. The weather wasn't that great but we still had fun. Oliver and I shared a room with our friends Hung and Marie and that cut hotel cost a ton!
Friday we just grabbed something to eat and Oliver went out with the guys while I stayed with Marie that night. Good thing we didn't go out because I got sick... Again.. But the guys came back with Voodoo donuts! If you don't know, this is a very popular donut place in Portland. Every time we passed by this place, there was a line outside.
These were good even after 2 days LOL.
We found out there is always a street market on Saturdays so we thought that would be nice to check out during the day.
Later we met with the our friends to grab something to eat. We went to Frank's Noodle House which is a really neat and popular place (Especially since it was on the show Diners, Drive Ins and Dives!). They make their own noodles and I thought this place was delicious. They made an old house into a restaurant and we were seated upstairs in one of the old bedrooms.

Sunday
I have been wanting to go to this popular ice cream shop in Portland called Salt and Straw. They have different flavors like pear and blue cheese, strawberry balsamic and black pepper, etc. I tried those and they were actually good!
This is what we got:
Almond brittle with salted ganache, coffee and bourbon, apricots with citra hops, peaches with toasted walnuts. All were very good!
After our stop for ice cream, we were on our way to the wedding in Cannon Beach. The outskirts of Oregon is beautiful and reminds me a lot of Alabama!
We went to the vacation house of the bride and groom because it was still early and they had a gorgeous view of the ocean! We caught up with the groom and took pictures before heading down to the beach where the ceremony was being held.
With the groom
If you've seen the movie The Goonies before, which I'm sure most my age have, you will recognize the Haystack rock!
The Wedding
The Reception
We have known Jovait for a long time and we are very happy for him. We're glad we got to travel and be a part of his special day. Congratulations Jojo and Stephanie!
