18 Months in the Making

Two Super Saturday's ago (yes you read that correctly).  I signed up to make a new family home evening chart but I was also teaching a class so needless to say I never got to mine.  Well...... 18 months later and I've finally completed it and also remembered why I don't often do these kinds of crafts!!  That said I'm very happy with how it turned out!

WICKED!

A few months back tickets were purchased for my sister Tricia, my sister-in-law Nikki and myself to attend Wicked. How could one have ever guessed that that same night would end up being Game 7 of the Stanley Cup? Vancouver against Boston IN Vancouver!! Last night this is what we experienced:





This is what we witnessed just prior to going into the theatre. Thousands of hockey fans out on the streets watching 'the game' on the big screen.







This was our whole purpose for being downtown! A fantastic show!








This is what we witnessed as we hurriedly made our way to the Skytrain to get out of the chaos that was happening!

Bear Sighting

Sitting in the living room talking on the phone I glanced out the window and saw a bear walking through a neighbours yard and then across the street.

By the time I grabbed my ipod and figured out how to take a picture (closest camera available) the bear was getting ready to enter the bushes!
