We can't believe we forgot to mention our beach trip!!! For Heather's birthday Scott decided to surprise her with a trip out to the Oregon Coast! OK, he tried to surprise her. Heather is one of the hardest people to surprise, and Scott was planning on taking her to the coast either the weekend before or after her birthday. Well, Heather had already decided that Scott needed to take her to there so on the Thursday before her birthday she announced to Scott that they were going to the coast for her birthday. For those of you thinking that Scott really hadn't planned on taking Heather to the beach, ask Soren. Scott called Soren that week (Tuesday or Wednesday) asking about the best places to go while at the beach.
Anyways, we went. We packed up a picnic lunch, and went off to Lincoln City. When we arrived the weather was... well, let's say typical Oregon Coast weather... COLD and WINDY! For those of you who don't know, Scott is not a big coast fan. In his words, "You go, look at the ocean, then say 'OK let's go.'" Well, we went, looked at the ocean, ate our picnic lunch bundled up, then left because we were freezing cold. Fortunately, our beach adventures did not end there. As we were driving away from the beach, Heather decided to call one of her friends, Megan Schiffner (formerly Knoll) on a hunch. B.T.W. Heather was a Bridesmaid at Megan's wedding in December. When Megan answered her phone Heather asked where she was and Megan said that she was at the Oregon Coast!!! We had just driven past the Knoll's beach house before our picnic. So we went to see Megan, Jen, and Yvonne at the outlet mall, and they invited us to come join them at their beach house. Their invitation changed what would have been a fairly lame trip, to an absolutely fun one. At their place we played a little bit of the Wii (the new video game console by Nintendo), a new game to us "The Farming Game," and some Ping Pong (Table Tennis for those who know better). The Knolls even invited us to stay for dinner. We had a lot of fun with each other and with our friends. Check out more photos here. Praise God for friends and fellowship!
