11~Yum

Bren and I got married eleven years ago today in a tiny mountain church with a rainbow as the backdrop. My brother was my man of honor, I wore purple shoes, and B and I rode his skateboard around the church yard to kill time.  Some awesome people flew from Michigan, California, Texas and Nevada to be here, bless their hearts.  It was a nice, kick-back evening.  

Our wedding treats were Swiss pastries from JaCiva’s.  Six different flavors. Yum. 

So today, we went back to our favorite part of Portland.  Back to one of our favorite places to eat for Phil’s Ono Yakisoba. Back to JaCiva’s for their ‘After Dark’ dessert room. It was difficult to choose which treat to try, but we managed.

I had “a slice of 7th heaven” or chocolate 7 ways.

Bren had the special hazelnut torte.

And we got some of those Swiss pastries we had at our wedding for mom and dad, our gracious babysitters.

Yum.  

Thanks Bren.  

For everything.

    happy belated eleventh. on desserts and hawthorne, i hope you’ve been to pix! there are two pix, actually. both are delightful and small and warrant an evening where you can each order your own dessert, split a minibottle of prosecco and relish the wide-brimmed champagne glass ala breakfast at tiffany’s.
