weekend success.

happy monday! i hope your week is off to a good start. today i'm at work and still recovering from a busy (but amazing!) weekend. on friday we got all dressed up to celebrate the wedding of our very close friends. it was a great day filled with love, laughter, and dancing. (congratulations alex and fred!) on saturday we packed up for a belated anniversary getaway. we stayed in richmond and went to vancouver for the day too. more details on that later... and then we wrapped up the weekend with a family bbq celebrating my favourite 11-year-old cousins birthday. all in all, a very successful weekend.

ps. did you notice david's new glasses!??! i finally took the plunge for him and bought him this pair for an anniversary present. another success in the kobes household.

summer bucket list update

well, it's officially august. only one more month of summer! so far we've crossed quite a few things off our summer bucket list but we still have some more to go. here's where we're at:

• walk to the movie theatre and watch a movie
• repaint the desk
• go to jam in jubilee
• have friends over for a bbq
• go to seattle vanvouver for a night (next weekend!)
• go to cultus lake and swim (i have to specify ‘swim’ otherwise david won’t)
• make nightstands
• go to whistler 2x
• read a book that’s not a textbook (in progress)
• work lots/make $$$ (so far so good!) 
• go to the gym/work out 2x a week (complete fail so far...) 
• keep our plants alive
• do the abby grind
• go (real) camping
• get good grades in summer classes
• go to burnaby mountain and watch the sunset
• go to the driving range
• richmond night market (planned for next weekend) 
• celebration of light

next weekend me and david are planning a belated anniversary celebration by spending a night in vancouver. we plan to hit up the richmond night market and do lots of sitting by the hotel pool. 

i hope you all are crossing lots of things off your summer bucket lists! have a fantastic weekend :)
