Happy Valentines Day

We had such a fun filled weekend this weekend. We started with a awesome dinner and visit with Hilary on Friday night. Me, Jon, Cyn and Hil went out to Ferris's Oyster Bar – we had a great time with such a good old friend!

Not a late night however, as Hil's flight was at 6am and Jon and I decided to go snowboarding on Saturday, which also requires an early wake up.

So early morning road trip, to a crazy heavy powder day on the hill. Boy, it was a blast!!! A bit tough going though, skiers and snowboarders were falling and even walking down the hill everywhere. It was hilarious. With minimum of like 2 feet of fresh snow on the hill it was just a bit of a shit show. The snow was so deep that it was hard to get back up and lean back to do the power type riding you need to do to stay afloat. When you fell, if you went off track - you most times had to dig yourself, including your face. Man, I was laughing so hard, I was having trouble breathing because of all my gear around my nose and mouth (helmet, goggles and the face mask). It is so crazy when you have no control of yourself and bail all over the place - somersaults were the theme of the day. Thankfully Jon was near me for my fall that landed me head first, with not much access to my snowboard. It was too funny beacuase I had no idea where he was, it was like a white out and then after getting my head up so that I could look around I realize he was like 4 feet in front of me! I was practically crying I was laughing so hard, probably had to be there, and unfortunately because it was so wet and blizzard - we didn’t take the camera. We came home for dinner and hockey and passed out after the first period.

The next morning we had brunch at the Oak Bay Marina with our Ruff/Vaartnou family in Victoria. It was a lovely buffet and I ate enough for breakfast and lunch - plus! I even treated myself to a piece of cheesecake for dessert...sweet heaven. We are so lucky to have such supportive, amazing and beautiful people to call our family in the city.

Jonny and I had a quiet Sunday, organizing and cooking for the week. I made a lasagna and a cabbage soup and we had a relaxing evening watching Lost episodes.

So for Valentine’s Day this year, we will have a nice dinner and relax with the end of the last season of Lost – good times.

Oh yeah, and we will tell one another how much we love each other. We won't forget that - so neither do you!
