Night Drive

And as we sat in the car talking, I realized how lucky I am to have you guys in my life. <3

It's raining, it's pouring...

Since I can't seem to find anything interesting to do, I thought that this would be the most perfect opportunity to update my blog.

Although a lot has been going on lately, I feel like I don't have all that much to write about. I guess my creative mind is just being very blah right now. Anyway, here goes...

So basically there is exactly a week left until the summer ends and schools starts and I am finding myself more and more excited to go back. Today I had my training at the book store (where I will be working as a "runner" during my breaks) and it really allowed me to realize that school is just around the corner. It was weird to walk through the halls again...

I got to see Kate and Selina last week (along with Mel, but she's like my sister so I see her almost every day) and we had a great time in each other's company. I'm sad that I don't see those two girls as often as I should, but I guess that's what makes our visits so special. I treasure the times that we do spend together, so it's that much more of a treat when we do manage to get together.

I had a pretty decent weekend too! On Saturday, my plans got switched around and I ended up going to my Uncle's house for dinner. I ate like a bear that just came out of hibernation, and there was enough food to feed an army. It was great to spend time with my family. It's rare that we have these kind of dinners (I dunno why?) so it's always nice to see everyone, especially my grandmother.

On Sunday, after waking up at the crack of dawn and working until 1:00pm, I headed out with my Mom. This year I decided to take her out for her birthday instead of buying her some trinket that she won't need. We went to Fairview and spent some money before heading downtown to the old port. We ate at this very luxurious restaurant called Galiano's and it was fantastic! We then walked around, took some pictures and headed to the IMAX to watch U2 3D. It was absolutely amazing!!! I seriously felt like I was a part of the crowd and with the high-tech sound, it sounded like they were playing right in front of us. To top it all of, we went out for gelato on the way back home and I had raspberry sorbet. YUM!

So life, for me, is pretty great right now!
