Wow you guys it has been such a long time since i wrote on here!!! I'm so sorry! After mum and dad left it seems to have been quite busy and i have just run out of time! Alot has been happening.. I went for a trip to Victoria on Vancouver island for 4 days which was so nice! i just loved hanging out with Jess and relaxing.. we went to cafes, shopped.. i discovered value village which is like vinnies but ordered and huge!!! I got 4 jackets for $40.. We also went on a day trip to the beach! It was so good. i forgot how much i love the sounds of the ocean. the seagulls, the crashing waves.. there were only rocks though so i just imagined the sand! all in all a awesome day!
The cafe has been going well. It is slowing down now since summer has ended which has been nice to catch up on things. I feel like now i can work at sorting out a few things and hopefully move the cafe forward even more...
I had some awesome news the other day and that is that Justin and Clare are coming to visit me in December!! Im so excited! It will be so nice to show them around this place.. it is so beautiful and i know they will enjoy it! (hopefully its not going to be to cold!!)
I had my first thanksgiving last weekend which was so nice! I went to michele's on saturday night and then drove to Calary and had Thanksgiving dinner with Steph and her family..
I stayed in Calary for a few nights and woke up in the morning and there was snow everywhere.. It was great! Driving in the snow was a litttle crazy however..
Ok so i think that is all my news... i will try to update this blog a little more often.. i miss and love you all heaps..

One day last week

A lovely fire..

A 162 pound pumpkin

A rainbow i saw the other day

The other day i woke up at 5am to start work at 5.30.. everytime it kills me.. i went into the store and baked cinnamon buns, muffins and scones and made soup as per usual. This part of my day was very normal.. after work i had a nanna nap and then decided to go to the Windermere fall fair.. I went with a friend of mine Darren.. there was a 162 pound pumpkin (which every fair must have!)

However Darren had a infection in his leg which suddenly felt worse so it was off to the hospital we went.. After spending a few hours in emergeny the best place to go was to have a few beers on the deck at the coffee shop.. Well for a normal day that might have been enough but no.. we then decided that we needed to go fishing.. we got organised and heading down to the creek.. Darren taught me how to fish... Tara and John were there as well. It was so nice to hangout with these guys.. i have not done that in ages.. We didnt catch anything but i did manage to get hooked on a few very large rocks.. quite skillful i thought!!!

Well if that wasnt enough the night ended with visiting Susan's place to feed the cats... once we were inside i couldn't find one cat so i opened the back door to look for it and there was a black bear.. no kidding

It looked at me.. and i looked at it and then i shut the door and screamed... the others chased it away but it was so close to me... crazy!!! so the night ended with a fire on the deck at Doug and susans....

I honestly think it had to be one of the most fun yet longest days i have had for a while...

Well i have been to a few weddings in my life but i have to say that this one was diffenately one of the best! I had so much fun! There was awesome food, company and dancing! It was so relaxed and so much fun!! Michele looked awesome and her and Al are just such a great couple!!!
My photos are not great but my battery died.
Jess is moving to Victoria so we had a little farewell on the deck at the coffee shop. Its so nice out there. The view of the mountains and the sun make me want to hangout out there all the time.
This was a very big weekend!! But very fun!
I love and miss you guys and hope you are all very well!!!

Well it has been a while since i wrote on my blog and that has mostly to do with mum and dad coming to visit! I just dropped them at the airport and i have to say that was the hardest part of the entire trip... Mum and dad stayed in my one bedroom appartment and we lived on top of each other for to weeks but the hardest part of everything was the goodbye!!!
We had a fantastic time!!! I got to show them all around this place and it was great to catch up on there news and just be with them..
We did so much stuff and the photos just show you a little of what we got up to.

Canada Day

Candace cooked me dinner on my BBQ

Canada Day Fireworks

Ryan, Matt and Candace watching the fireworks

Julie and Candace (girls from work) over for dinner and the cake they made me..

So today has been my first day off for a few weeks.. I have pretty much stayed on the lounge.. watched way to much TV and done nothing. It was funny though i can see some cars belonging to my neighbours drive past by my front door and i was watching them and then a deer randomly walks up to my door.. looks in and walks away.. i wish i could have grabbed my camera quicker but that was the highlight of my day today..

This week was Canada day.. i worked in the morning but had the afternoon off so went up to the ski hill where the festivities were and listened to a band and chilled out for a little while.. i had dinner with Tara and Jess and then later that night i met some friends and watched the fireworks as the sun was setting. It was great!!

I got my mole removed this week! so i have 5 stitches but they will be removed Wednesday! The doctor doesn't think it is anything to be worried about (after he took it out) but now i have to wait for the result.

I went for a big bike ride on Monday. ( i bought a bike for $20, its purple and white and i love it) It was great fun! Candace, Anna and i rode to the Hoodoo's, walked up them and then rode back. It took about 2 hours!! i was so proud of myself for being able to do it! Don't get me wrong i was exhausted after but it was worth it..

Sally and Aaron got engaged last week!!! Thats news i forgot to write about!! Its exciting.. I'm going wedding dress shopping in a couple of weeks to Calary. Its such a honour that she wants me to come! They are getting married in Australia in May which is so exciting for them!

I think thats my news..

Love you guys.. stay safe

The icefield parkway...
