One year went fast!

Cam and I just celebrated our One Year Wedding Anniversary. Wow did it go by quick. So many changes in our lives from where we were a year ago. For this anniversary we decided to go to Victoria for the weekend and visit a very good friend of ours. We also had the pleasure of staying at the Empress while we were there. When we first arrived to Victoria we had to go and see the ocean, and we had to pick a few things up for supper as well. We got to bring Zoe along as well. She has never seen the ocean or been in the ocean. It was a whole new experience for her. The city of Victoria so very dog friendly which is great because we could take Zoe everywhere we went. It was fantastic. She even got to stay with us at the Empress. She got to come down to the Wharf with us to meet Sammy the Sea Lion. We even got to bring her along to Buchart Gardens with us. I was so proud of my pug puppy. She was the most well behaved dog I have ever encountered. She heeled right between Cam and I, and she didn't embarrass us by pooping where she wasn't suppose to ;o) She didn't really care for the ferry ride over to the island or back very much, but I can't blame her it is noisy. It was a great weekend, but we are glad to be home and get to spend a weekend at home. Thanks again Brad and Erin for your great hospitality. And thanks to Victoria for being a 'dog friendly' city.

What a Summer So Far!!

At the beginning of May Cam and I had a pretty low key summer planned. One of my best friends was getting married to the love of her life. So of course we had that planned to do, but other than that (and the Mid Summer Bonspiel week for me) we kept most our weekends open. But it would seem that our Summer had something else planned for us. For me personally I have been busy with Bachelorette parties, Wedding Showers, and many other activities. Cam and I decided to buy a truck at the beginning of the summer. So we were busy going as far as Nelson to look at trucks. We ended up finding one in Kelowna. We found a Ford Ranger XLT Fx4, it is a very nice truck. Of course it is black to match our Charlie Car. After two years we finally got to go camping with our friends. We found a great spot out at Coffee Creek, just past Balfour. However, Cam came down with a very nasty cold/flu. So we had to leave a day early from camping. It was still fun! We have been golfing a ridiculous amount. While I was away curling, Cam decided to go shopping for new golf clubs. So, we have been putting the new clubs to good use. It has been great. So we have been able to go to Granite Pointe Golf in Nelson, Balfour Golf course, Pinnacle, and many other courses around our area. I am so happy that I have learned how to golf. I don't golf well but I am learning.



I got to curl in the last ever Nelson Mid Summer Bonspiel. It was a great week! I got to curl with my Mom, Danielle, and Allie. I couldn't have asked for better people to curl with. It was a good week had by all, and an unforgettable one at that. I did however get to spend a few weekends in Coldstream before we headed back to Nelson for the 7th time this summer for my friends wedding. It was such a beautiful occasion. Michelle was absolutly stunning, and so happy :o) Brought back memories of Cam and I last year. Speaking of last year. This August 11th will be our 1st wedding anniversary. We get to go to Victoria. I am so excited about this because it has been so long since we have been to the island. We have friends that we will be staying with for a few days as well as we get to stay at the Emperess Hotel. After this weekend we don't have any other plans for this summer. I wonder what else August has in store for us. I am sure we will be busy.
