B.C. here I come!!


So, I'm off to beautiful British Columbia today for a week!! I'm so excited and really looking forward to my vacation. I'm going to Colin and Nicki's wedding which is on July 3 in Abbotsford and also doing a little exploring around Vancouver and Nanaimo with my good friend Amber. It should definitely be an adventure!
Nothing else is too new with me, so i'll leave it at that. I'm sure i'll have some fun stories to post when i get home!

Claire Noelle





Well, I am officially an aunt!! My sister had her baby yesterday at 1:00 AM and had a girl. They named her Claire Noelle. She was 7 pounds and is a healthy baby. Everyone is doing great and I went to visit them tonight and Claire is such a sweetheart. I am very excited to be Auntie Nikki!!

Why I love SUMMER!!

Hammocks!! That is one of the many reasons why I love summer. And unfortunately this hammock belongs to my brother (arghh) and will be taken from me when he moves out, so i've decided that i must make the most of every opportunity i have to use it. So, that is what i did today. I laid outside in the hammock and read pretty much all day, and it was fabulous!

Some other reasons why i love summer:

1. Iced tea...my mom makes her own and it's the best ever.

2. Flip-flops...i don't think i need to explain that one.

3. Toasted tomato sandwiches...especially when the tomatoes come from my garden, but as of right now i've been enjoying tomatoes from the grocery store and they've been very good.

4. Swimming...my neighbours just opened their pool last week which i'm very excited about. I have yet to go in it, but soon...very soon.

5. BBQ's...good food, good friends, good fellowship...what more could you ask for.

6. Summer nights...when the temperature is just perfect and still warm even at mignight.

7. Vacations/cottages

8. All the people/neighbours out and about...walking, biking, rollerblading, it just makes me happy.

9. Beaches...and especially the smell of sun tan lotion and that sleepy feeling you get after you've been at the beach all day.

10. Ice cream...and especially ice cream with fresh peaches!!

I could probably name a few more favourites, but i'll leave it at that.
