Back from Europe!!!
We got back from our AMAZING vacation on Tuesday. Unfortunately our camera ran out of batteries on the very first day, and we didn't bring the charger... so we have to wait to get all the pictures off our friends Camera. I'll just give a quick blurb of the trip, with more to come in the near future.
We (well actually Brandon and Courtney) found an awesome deal on a cruise through the English Channel. We couldn't turn it down, so we started waiting (we booked it in January... the wait sucked). Anyway, we flew into Amsterdam spent the day there, then headed to Rotterdam to catch our cruise. On the cruise we stopped in La Havre France, where we drove and paid homage to the beaches of Normandie. We then stopped in Guernsey Island, which is a british ran island off the coast of France. We ended in London, where we spend about 12 hours before we headed back home.
The trip was amazing, but waaaayyyy too short. We were running around the whole time trying to see everything we could. We are already planning our next Europe trip, and it will be longer next time... so if you are down for a Europe trip let us know.
Most importantly I have to show off the seats we got on our flight to Amsterdam and home from London. We were lucky enough to score business class (to AMS) and First Class (from London), I honestly don't know how somebody does a 10 hour plane ride in economy class, but I'm sure glad we didn't have to figure it out.
Cody coming home from London
Tennille on her way to Amsterdam
Oh yea, all the mean while this is what our friend brandon had to deal with
Hillarious

Are you kidding me!!!
Here is a news article that a local TV station did on my company, Seaport Airlines.
I think it is pretty ridiculous how one sided the media will be. They will totally sway viewers opinions by giving one side of an argument. Anyway, just FYI our Service to Newport and Astoria is priceless to residents there that operate businesses, and all the residents that need to travel to Portland for some reason and can't drive the 3 + hours. Also, another thing they didn't mention. We also have government subsidies to Pendalton Oregon and that has been going on since December. A short 5 months after we started service, our airplanes are 80% full on average.
Sorry for my rant... Here's the video!
Below from one of my friends Blogs. I agree fully, she just says it better than me.
"Everyone raves about the Oregon Coast and how beautiful it is, and again, how much seafood does the Oregon coast put on Portlander's dinner tables? Yet, those in the city get to bitch and moan that their tax dollars are paying for these flights and aren't necessary. To the farmer who needs to get to Portland or the Midwest for a convention on new, greener, organic farming techniques, it is necessary. For the fisherman who needs to get to Portland, or Seattle and on to Alaska for their job, it is necessary. For the new business looking at relocating in Oregon, or opening a new branch, it is necessary in order to encourage them to open in these struggling towns, who need the business and the revenue as bad as any other city, if not more."

CINCO DE MAYO!
Nothin says Cinco de Mayo like some good ol' fashioned tacos from El Paisa...the infamous taco stand in Salt Lake! We were happy to celebrate this beloved holiday with our buds Jason and Becky. Too bad they just bought a house in Salt Lake or else we would drag them up to Portland with us. They are the kind of friends that you can not see for awhile, but when you do, it's just like old times. We miss you guys!
It was also fun to see our families while we were in Utah for a short visit. Our little (or not so little!) nephew Wyatt was as cute as can be. My parents also came down from Logan and took Cody and I out to lunch. It was a beautiful sunny day and the food at Thaifoon was amazing. Good times...we love you all!

Calgary with the Sis
I absolutely love hanging out with my sister. The eleven year difference between us has been really fun (for me), especially as I grew up. I was able to visit her in the numerous places that she has lived and have been able to see her succeed in an awesome career and be a great mom to her kids. Last weekend, she was up in Calgary on business and invited me up. I jumped at the chance because we hardly ever get to hang out with just the two of us. I'm really glad that I did. It was so fun to just relax and hang out with her. We shared stories and caught up on each others lives. The trip, in itself, was super short, but we were able to get some great shots of the city. 
A view from the bottom of the Calgary Tower
And a view from the top....it was a little scary I have to admit
Look, I'm flying....or something like it
I'm a dork and just liked all the colors
of this shot. This was in downtown Calgary.
Calgary encourages graffiti...I can see why
Just another random artsy fartsy shot...but I liked it!
Thanks for the fun weekend Tiff! Love you :)

Violet vs. The Lacamas Monster
Well, we would first of all like to introduce all of you to "Violet", the newest addition to the Boseman clan. She is named Violet because of the awesome purple stripes surrounding her belly. I do have to admit that she is a bit of a daddy's girl...Cody takes a lot better care of her than I do. I'm really only there when she wants to take me out on the lake.
So the other day was our first voyage with Violet. We decided to go to the beautiful Lacamas Lake that is about 15 minutes away from our house. Tom, Rosie and cute little Owen came along for Violet's first run. Owen wasn't too excited at the beginning, but then we officially handed him "flag duty" and he was a happy little guy. So, back to the story and especially the most important part....THE LACAMAS MONSTER. We had heard that there are some shallow parts in the lake and to COMPLETELY avoid these areas because of huge rocks that lurk just beneath the surface. Basically, this lake comes with special instructions on how to enter the lake without screwing up your boat. Cody and I both had forgotten to familiarize ourselves with these instructions. So, what do we do? Well, we thought that if we see anything that looks like shallow water (or rocks), we'll turn the other way. Rosie and I ended up chatting instead of really looking for shallow water and sure enough we ran STRAIGHT into the huge ol' rock. Whoops. Tom and Cody ended up getting in the frigid water and steering our boat out of the mess that it had gotten in. (Thanks boys!) Luckily, the Lacamas Monster hadn't screwed up Violet too bad. She only ended up having a bent fin... which we were able to get fixed.
Much to the Lacamas Monsters' disappointment, our day of boating was not ruined! The crazy boys ended up wakeboarding as the sun was setting and we all had an amazing time. So, lesson learned. If any of you are ever up this way and happen to be out on Lacamas Lake, we'd be happy to pass along some vital information.
Tom, Owen, and Rosie
I'm trying to steer the boat to safety....aah!
Cody and Tom save the day
Summer is coming....which means more wakeboarding!!

What the ???????
Seriously, who made this sign?
Finally! Now I can hitchhike and not get in trouble. Such a relief...

It's here...
SPRING! At least for today...the rain is supposed to come back tomorrow, but we've been taking advantage of the warmer temperatures. It's been about 75 degrees for the past couple of days. If Oregon/Washington was like this all year round I don't think I would want to leave. I took these pictures outside of 24 Hour Fitness where I work. These "popcorn" trees (as I like to call them) are everywhere.

HONG KONG...Here we come!
Surprise, we are moving once again (in June)! Cody has reached enough flight hours and has been offered a first officer position flying for Dragonair. This particular company has its hub in Hong Kong and seems to fly everywhere in the world. They fly Boeing 747 jets and A330 (Airbus). Cody will be training on the 747. This totally came as a shock for us, but we couldn't turn down the opportunity to live overseas. We have always wanted to visit this area and feel like it will be the best move for us. We're young, right? More posts to come!!

Kusaba's Happy Place: The Dog Park
There is definitely not a shortage of dog parks up here in the Northwest! It seems like everyone owns a dog and is so laid back, which is so awesome. In Utah, you would get a ticket if you touched foot in a park with your dog. Since we moved up here, I have started taking Kusaba to the dog park. At first he was a little hesitant to go play because, in the past, he would get in trouble for running off. Now that he actually can run off and play, he is in a whole new world. He absolutely loves going to the dog park. As we drive to the dog park, he can somehow sense it, and proceeds to stick his head out the window and violently start wagging his tail. It's definitely a toss up of who likes the dog park more, however. I (being the passionate over-the-top dog lover) find myself having just as much fun.
First things first, he has to get his sniffing in
And then he gets his play on, which consists of wrestling, running with, and neck-biting other dogs
A friendly face-off
And then his favorite ball enters the picture (hasn't been used much obviously)
He runs around even more crazy until we've had enough of the throwing. If we left it up to Kusaba we would still be at the dog park.
All in a day's work...being a dog is tough
While at the dog park, Cody and I played around with our new camera. I absolutely have no photography background, but I'm trying to get better, especially with portrait shots. So here are a couple of Cody (note to Cody...if you take these off the blog, you will pay a price). He's quite the handsome subject in my opinion. Me, on the other hand, I could use some "photogenic" lessons.

Yay! Visitors...finally.
We were so excited to finally have visitors here in Portland! Brandon and Courtney(our fellow travel buddies) came up the other day with their cute little girl, Reagan. They were only up here for one day so Cody and I showed them the best that Portland has to offer (at least in our heads)… are you ready?
1)Voodoo donuts- There is something about eating these obscenely named doughnuts that is so fulfilling.
2)Winco- How we have ever survived without this grocery store is a mystery. The bulk candy section alone is as good as a ticket to Disneyland.
3)Montage Restaurant- We were all first time customers to this restaurant, but it was highly recommended by some of my friends. It was nothing short of awesome. Montage is located underneath a scary looking bridge in a dirty part of town…who could ask for anything more? Well there’s more. Montage serves gourmet Mac and Cheese. So good.
4)Lacamas Lake- In an attempt to entice Brandon and Court to move up here we took them to this beautiful lake that is ten minutes away from our house. We even offered to buy a boat so that we can go OUT on the lake if they move up here. (The pressure is on guys!)
5)Camas Airport- A second attempt to entice Brandon…he and Cody really want to build their own airplane. This airport would be a pristine location for their airplane building dreams.
Wow, what a day. Thanks for coming to visit you guys! Kusaba misses Reagan already and we do too.

Boating in Florida? Well, okay...you twisted my arm
MEET CODY'S FRIEND PHIL...
WHO WE GOT TO GO VISIT IN ORLANDO...
PHIL HAS A REALLY CUTE DOG NAMED RUDDER (one of my favorite parts of the trip)...
AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT PHIL. HE BUILT THIS BOAT....(yes, I said BUILT)
I think we are still in awe! Phil has worked for over two years now (50-70 hours weekly) to build this awesome wakeboarding boat. Now that he is finished, he plans on opening his own boat company and we just might be his first customers. He took us out on a lake near Mt. Dora, Florida and we had a blast. I am so impressed that someone could dream so big and actually turn their dream into reality. Here are a couple more pics from our sunny weekend in Florida!! Thanks for showing us a fun weekend Phil and Claudia (and Rudder)!
