Poppy, Putting, Practice

I'm quite pleased with having found a fantastic golf partner to golf with over the last month and for the next month. Generally it is difficult to find women my age who like to golf. So when Carlee mentioned she likes golfing, I jumped on it and now we affectionately have a weekly golfing "club" which we have titled the CVGA. Makes sense.


And we're rocking it. Well, I'm not sure many other people on the golf course bring their cameras and take random photos. They also probably don't bring chopped up veggies in tupperware containers. But that's probably why our golf club will increase rapidly in popularity.


We like to try out a different course each week. It's fun to go to a lot of golf courses I've always heard about but never had a chance to go to. A couple repeats, but mostly new which is fun. Last week we went to Fraser Glen on the Monday and Poppy Estates on the Friday.


Fraser Glen is where I first started golfing when I was first learning how to golf, about ten years ago. Strangely enough, it is also the course where I can always get the best score. My favorite moments were joining up with a couple of the older men in front of us while their third guy went home for a few holes to let out the dogs. Then we joined with the couple behind us for a few holes as well. Always fun to get to know new people. And I figured if we're golfing with them, there's a better chance of us not hitting them with our golf balls.


Next week we hope to hit up a new course and the following week we will return to the Falls where we went our first week to see if we have improved at all!

Golfing, Game, Greens

I decided that this shall be the spring/summer of golfing. Until I leave that is. So, I decided to be proactive about finding people to golf with. I joined the golf club at my church that goes once a month, and my friend Carlee and I decided that we should try golfing weekly until we are pro (which we pretty much are by now of course).


So every Monday, you can find us out on the golf course, hacking away.. I mean, hitting pars and birdies.


I generally go to the same few golf courses, so it's been fun to expand a bit. The first week we went to the Falls, and last week we went to Hazelmere.


We may have had a bit too much fun playing with the driver covers... but fun was had indeed. It rained quite a bit, but we're hardcore and were quite happy that the course was a bit emptier {we hate to intimidate people with our incredible skills}.


Anyway, our golf games usually include some incredible cart driving, enjoying hot dogs, taking pictures.. oh and golfing of course.


Anyway, I look forward to a month more of awesome golfing and good times out on the greens! So if anyone else is looking for people to golf with, let me know!


And maybe one of these days I will break 100 again... I used to have a great game but it's a bit rusty. FORE!

Family, Fun, Furry

First off thought I would start with a picture of cuteness.. aka Lizzy... She's as cute as ever. and becoming better at learning the rules of the house..

Last weekend we had a family fun day. WE started at Castle Fun Park and played some mini golf. And then afterwards we went to a park for a pizza lunch and playing with the kids. I got to take a bunch of pictures of everyone, so thought I'd post a few. And remember if anyone ever wants fun shots done, let me know!!

Our mini golfing clan













ONLY 6 days until d-day for my nephew or niece to arrive... WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

Half, Happy, Heart

On Tuesday, Caleb had a lot of work to do, so Emily and I decided to head out to White Rock to enjoy the day and to have some fun. Our first stop was for fish and chips. My regular favorite place was closed but it was still pretty good!

Emily walking the tracks..

Emily was trying to pose with the bird but unfortunately it was flying out of the picture at the time.. haha.. I still think the shot turned out great! :)

Emily climbing the White Rock. It was quite the trek up but once on top it was great!

My sandals relaxing and taking in the sun..

In the evening, we went to Castle Fun Park for a great game of mini golf. The first time I ever met Emily, I was in Ontario and the three of us went mini-golfing.. so we figured it was fitting to go once again.

Caleb decided it would be great to propose on the mini-golf course.. There's the ring conveniently on top of the putter...

How romantic.. he even proposed on the heart shaped hole! awww! Okay fine, it was a staged proposal.. haha.. They got engaged about three days before they came to BC, but we thought it would be fun to stage a proposal and take some funny pictures! :)

Not really sure what we're doing in this picture...

Oh! And Tuesday was the 24th of June which made it my official half birthday! Happy half birthday to me!! I got a couple cards and I even got half of a blizzard as a gift-how sweet. :) So far in my life, it was the best half birthday I have ever had!
