this weekend i spent most of my time with josh, who was visiting from ontario. perfect timing, as with my cousin's wedding, and one of my little munchkin 'niece's birthday, i was in need of some distraction. was also a tough weekend with it being a year since my friend passed away, so keeping busy and amongst friends constantly was a necessary step to prevent thinking of it non stop. so, we made it a weekend filled with outdoors (mountains), indoors (aquariums), and laughter (drinks).
the best copilot in the world - watching people over drinks while celebrating the weekend; some of my favourite people in the world, on the way to the bar; phone pile - so much more socializing when there are no phones involved; buddies on the walk home; a walk along the seawall with the puppy, through stanley park; aquarium colours in a tank; josh checking out the douglas coupeland digital orca sculpture; just a few small snacks (*ahem) at hapa izakaya - we MAY have ordered everything on the hapa hour menu; the lumberjack show on top of grouse mountain (AFTER we climbed it, of course); the boys checking out the mountain top; the mist on the trees on the way down the mountain; finishing up wedding jewelry, and sending it all out.
happy monday everyone - make this week count!
