CITY LIGHTS

these pictures are of the vancouver city skyline.

it was my friends last night in vancouver before she went back to university so we wanted to take some memorable "cute" pictures.

the pictures of us clearly didn't turn out to be as pretty as we hoped but they still highlight some priceless memories.

the illuminated view of vancouver with the lights bleeding into the ocean made for a very spectacular backdrop.

despite a long rainy season, 

vancouver sure finds ways to impress.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

GROUSE MOUNTAIN - PART 1

my friends and i decided to go up grouse mountain 

to ski and snowboard...

just kidding

 we pretty much went up just to see the snow, skate, and eat beaver tails.

all in all it was a really good time.

we didn't end up skating because the ice wasn't looking too good, but we did go on a sleigh ride twice, walked in the snow till we couldn't feel our feet, saw cute reindeer, and we ate beaver tails without a doubt.

more pictures from grouse coming up tomorrow!

CAKE GALORE

reunited at last!

my friend and i decided to do some cruising and ended up at a cake shop called true confection.

we tried some of the devil's cake and a fruity cheesecake. 

we thought we could handle two slices...but it turned out to be a bit much.

there really is such a thing as too much cake.

hope everyone is getting into the christmas spirit, and spending some time with friends and family!

more to come tomorrow.

MISSING THIS

looking through these pictures makes me miss my friends so much more. now that university life has started, it is has gotten a lot harder to stay in touch with close friends, even one's that are still in the same city, or the same school for that matter. one of my besties has gone out to uni in ontario and i miss her like crazy, and i'm literally counting down the days to be able to see her again. i guess you really don't appreciate what you have until it leaves you, even if it's only for a short while.

HOLLA GABRIOLA

summer fun with the gurls on gabriola island. we lucked out on beautiful weather, ate a ton of comfort food, sun bathed with spf  30 (gotta watch the skin), and spent good quality times together jammin out to one direction and jbeibz. one of the best moments was sitting on a log above the tides, watching one of the best sunsets i've ever seen. so thankful for great friends.
