My week away

Well the whirlwind trip has come to the end and I am home getting some serious sleeping caught up on today while Andy sails the seas for a weekend (hopefully also catching up on some sleep)

I had such a wonderful week and it just came at the perfect time...such a blessing! I flew in and wes just so excited I couldn't sleep on the flight hardly. Andy met me at the airport with a bouquet of sunflowers and we drove out to Summerland. Despite being tired that evening was so fun, we caught the end of the rehersal dinner party at his parents house so it was a great oppurtunity for me to meet people and Andy had brought a huge box of Penguins (ping-wings???) from Costco so had everybody doing Tim Tam Slams with those and hotchocolate which was VERY funny.

The morning was a fun time hanging out at the house with Andy's immediate family. I was so excited to see them all again, especially his nieces and nephew. The wedding was in the afternoon, Andy's cousin Steve married Veronica on a dock in summerland and it was so gorgeous, everything was beautiful from the weather and setting to all the intricate details and ofcourse the bride. Vayda and Tessa were flower girls and couldn't have been cuter. Here are a few pictures from this day.

This is Andy's family,

The next day was an early start and Andy and I drove back to Vancouver then caught the float plane to Thetis (after a stop at Krispy Kreme) The next five days were full. All new students to meet and so many people to spend time with. I spent a couple of days on Kuper Island 'researching' for a module I am doing this year at university so that was interesting, i learnt to make native drums, drum, speak so Haluquinum. The rest of my time was spent visiting with friends there.

I got to spend time with Andy and that is always so wonderful, we have so much fun together and even when I'm tired and cranky he's so good to me. I'm never happier than when I'm with him, there is no where I would rather be.
