S'been a long time since I added words here. Life's been whirlwinding along. Really settling into my job - loving the work but oh-so-busy! A small and determined team makes for saturated days and more often than not, pooped nights. Months have shot past. Autumn is here. The trees are losing their leaves and I grab my "serious" rain coat on my way out the door now. (for serious rain, of course). It smells amazing in the city, like rotting leaves, rich earthy soil and crisp ocean air. Today is a beautiful sunny day after many many many dark rainy days in a row. I wonder where all the banana slugs hide when its wet?
Ah, so what's been going on to keep me from posting? We did a couple of rad cycling trips along the coast. Ate many picnic dinners on the Sunset Beach. My brother went and got himself married. I went and inhaled oodles of akaline dust in the Black Rock Desert, again. Made a sooper silly monster costume that's far too hot to wear indoors. Read too many books to list here. Fell in love with Blonde Redhead's 23. Have made it my mission to totally kick ass in the kitchen and have begun trying a new recipe every week. Still schmoopy over the big goof in my life. Back n' forthing to Vancouver Island a whole lot - I like the BIG TREES.
Giggly moments all the time. Growing network of friends, slowly finding the fun in the city and really enjoying the somewhat slower pace of it all, especially after a whole summer that whooooshed by so insanely fast. And oh, the love, the big big love that I have for this big goofy martian! <3 Can't you see it in my face?
We took these pics on the ferris wheel at the PNE when we went out to Fright Nights last week; the silliest date we've ever had, a foggy night, spent wandering through haunted houses, with rattling doors n' chains and bodies hanging from the ceilings n' creepy clowns following us around. Awwww, all is full of love.
