This summer, Peter and I fulfilled a dream we've had since before we got married. We went to Europe!. This was our first major voyage together (read here, here, or here for some of our smaller voyages. I'd love to share some of our adventures and pictures (not all 1800, don't worry). Here is installment… Continue reading Europe Trip 2013 – Part One: Duisburg, Germany
Today marks three years since our wedding day. Let's be real - three years is not that many to be married. It's long enough that 99% of the time I think of myself by my married name now (Although, apparently, not quite long enough that I've changed all my documentation over to it. Oops.) But,… Continue reading Three
I've been a little absent from this here blog. Don't worry...I have stories to tell.
Saturday morning, Peter and I decided to do a local hike. One he'd done numerous times before, but the first time for me. Mt. Daniel is a short hike up a mountain, located in Pender Harbour. It wasn't a long drive for us and our trusty 4Runner took us right to the base of the… Continue reading Mt. Daniels Hike
Friday night we got the call to puppy-sit. In classic babysitter style, we raided the fridge, wound up our charge, and put her to bed. Peter's solution for not listening: There was a lot of this. Especially when I tried to sit quietly and read a book. The sleepier she got, the cuddlier she got… Continue reading I Can’t – I Have to Babysit
A highlight of the year in this small town is the annual Canada Day parade. This was the third year I got to be in attendance. It starts with some classic cars. You know them because they're the same ones you saw the year before and the year before that or that you've seen driving… Continue reading Sechelt Canada Day Parade 2013
That's a pretty beautiful pairing of words, isn't it? Oh, Canada! Thanks for the long weekend! What did I do? Got dressed up and had a fancy dinner out with my handsome husband. We had a gift certificate (Thanks Jen!) to a nice restaurant nearby and ate delicious food while watching the rain fall over… Continue reading Long Weekend, Long Weekend, Long Weekend
Day 28 - Friday Since I wore a different dress during the day on Friday, I originally thought I'd post a "night and day" type of thing. But I forgot to take a picture of my day. My day look was a repeat of Day 14 so just look at that picture again...but I have… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge – The End
Day 24 - Monday It's finally happened. With only a week to go, I'm repeating a dress. This is the dress from Day 8. In truth, this repeat is not because I've run out of dresses but because the dresses I haven't worn yet are all pretty fancy. And today it's pouring rain and it's… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge
Let's see...what happened this weekend? Peter bought new glasses. (I'm sure he'll want to show them off to you when he picks them up in 2 weeks. Stay tuned!) These are two of the local ravens that have decided the roof of our house is the coolest place around. Look, ravens are neat and they… Continue reading Things that Happened on the Weekend
