Baking, Burgers, Best

Chrystal and I are quite the homemakers. Actually it's nice because she likes baking and i like cooking. really it's the perfect match! So while Chrystal used the many rotten bananas that have been sitting in the freezer for a while to make muffins, I made turkey burgers! Boy were they tasty-sometimes i even surprise myself!

And here's a puzzle we made. We love making puzzles so it was fun to sit down one afternoon and work on this one. I like fun ones that aren't overly difficult!

Grad, Game, Great

On Saturday I got to celebrate Desiree's graduation with her and her family! So excited for her!! She already has a job in the school district and it's so exciting to hear about!! Congrats Des!! :)


That night Alisha, Tom, Nick and I all went to the Canucks game, which we won 3-1. It was a pre-season game but still always lots of fun!!

Desiree and Joe were there as well and Des and I had fun making faces at each other across the way (the people around us thought we were a bit strange, but that's pretty typical when we're together)

Hot, Happy, Hearts

Yesterday was my last wedding of this year (I think). That makes about 8 or so for this year. Wow. :) This wedding was outdoors and it was a fantastic day for it (okay maybe a little hot seeing that we were all dripping in sweat). Simon and Bethany got married and it was a lot of fun celebrating with them and family and friends. And here's a bonus picture of my nephew, because who wouldn't want to see another one? ;)

Victory, Victoria, Vanessa

My friend Bethany came to visit from Saskatchewan early September. We were roommates in Quebec and I always love seeing her again. On the Thursday we went to White Rock and enjoyed the view and had some fish and chips.

Friday we went to Vancouver where we went for some amazing Japanese and then went to the BC Lions game (and they won-yay!). Saturday we went on a whale watching trip and also went to Victoria for the day. We saw a lot of whales on the way over. Then we hung out in downtown Victoria and went to Butchart Gardens for the day before going back to Vancouver. Sunday we went to Seattle and saw the musical 'Wicked' and Monday we slept, because by then I was pooped!! haha.. Here are some pics from the Saturday.








We found a store with the coolest tuques. i actually want them all. haha

Corn, Cooking, Community

In August I had two new roommates move in. I really loved living by myself all summer but it's nice having people around too. And it's been fun cooking together and such. Gives more of a sense of community. My friend Vanessa and I played tennis the other day and then after, her, Sandy and I cooked a mini feast which was great fun!! :) I always forget how much fun it is to cook in groups.
