I am super excited to start a new blog soon! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a fairly large turning point coming up in my life in less than a month(like, getting married and all), and I feel like a new blog is in order! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This new blog will get off to a rather exciting start... there will be a trip to Iceland to report on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But... I have no idea what to name it! Ideas anyone? Seriously, any idea at all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Current thought:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love and bugs/ love 'n' bugs </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rationale:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love- aww</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bugs- i keep bees/Daniel is a programmer so he deals with computer bugs... not that I'd ever be blogging about computer bugs though...FYI)</div>

Jolynn came all the way from Coombs for high tea at the Empress with us! It was so delicious. There were strawberries and cream, a variety of fancy sandwiches, raisin scones with jam and cream, and the top level of the platter was all sorts of decadent sweets. My favourite was a lemon tart:)</div>

Happy Wednesday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a notice in the mailbox saying we are not to use any water from 8am-2pm because they are working with the water pipes. My productivity has suffered because I can't start a day off properly without a shower! Or maybe that's just an excuse;)</div>

What I'm looking forward to this week:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A new day, every day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having some Nanaimo girls come visit on the weekend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing some crafty things... perhaps visiting Fire It Up for some pottery experience</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daniel made some chili, and from past experience, it's going to be DELICIOUS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deciding on wedding flowers (ok, I'm more excited to get it over with than anything! I'm finding flowers to be very difficult to decide on. There are a lot of different flowers to choose from!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Wed. evening bible study</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm rather excited to clean house in preparation for company coming- nothing like a clean smelling, clean space (pleasant odor courtesy of Young Living Essential Oils- I am hooked!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>

Lately I've been doing lots of stuff... swimming (New Years Resolution was to swim 52 times in the year 2014), wedding planning (invitations have started to go out and shoes purchased, etc ), saying goodbye to good friends, making food (carrot soup and chocolate chip cookies are the latest), watching the "Bee Movie"... seriously one of the most awesome movies ever, purchasing a new cell phone (I am now the owner of an IPhone 4S!), and a number of other things, including: </div>

So in the spirit of my computer being near broken and it taking roughly 30 minutes to upload three pictures, I will keep it brief! Here are a few pictures from Virginia, USA. I do intend to put some more on here. Daniel and myself, and Daniel's sister and brother in law (Alison and Mark), traveled to Norfolk, VA to spend Christmas with the Faulkner parents! They have a lovely, cozy home which backs onto an estuary with an abundance of wild life. </div>

So today I parked myself in front of the coffee table and painted 11 picture frames! It was nice to do something with my hands... (other than work or typing or dishes). I had Songza going with some good Christmas tunes. Neil Diamond's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJiCFE3EFF4" target="_blank">"Cherry Cherry Christmas"</a> is one of my new favourites:) </div>

I am excited for Christmas this year, and am looking forward to spending it in Virgina, USA! I've never been there before! I don't think I've ever had Christmas without my family before, but I'm thankful that Daniel's family feels like family too:) </div>

It boggles my mind that people can remember what seasons two, three, five, ten years ago were like. For example: "remember that early spring 6 years ago... or was it 5...?" and "remember how it dropped below three degrees twice from Sept. 1st to March 1st in 2004?" (PS I'm just making that up) But no, I don't remember! I have enough trouble remembering my families and friends yearly changing ages. </div>

And we harvested some honey from our good old honeybees!!! It's pretty neat to be able to lick honey from a real honeycomb:) Although we did have a more technical way to harvest it. We wrapped the comb in cheesecloth, and then squished it into a container that had a piece of pantyhose I bought at the Dollar Store stretched across it. This caught any bits of pollen or comb from getting into the honey. Heehee... technical, I told you!</div>

Here is my mother... taking the oath of Citizenship to become a Canadian citizen! She did not have to renounce her American citizenship. It was a really cool experience to go to the ceremony. They don`t seem to care who comes to spectate, so I would recommend going next time the ceremony is held in your city! A judge presides, a Mountie stands at attention, and one feels thankful for a pretty great Country to call home.</div>

Thus I don't write anything because I know the 100th post has got to be good, and it's better to write nothing at all than something sub par! <div>

So here's an awesome picture! I just love it. It was taken a few weeks ago in San Francisco, CA at the botanical gardens, in Golden Gate State Park. I love my friend Kylie's outfit, love her bag, and love the colour of that leaf. This would be a lovely profile picture, in my opinion, but there is at least one person out there that knows it's not me! Darn. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thankfully you don't have to be a good photographer or have a good camera to snap a decent shot of such a beautiful place! The Samsung wave does the job. I am not usually a morning person but waking up at 445am for an early drive up to the mountain suits me just fine:) I'll even offer to make lunches and drive part way! </div>

I thought I'd better start the year off right by writing a blog post... not that it's going to make the new year any better for anyone, but oh well.The year did have a wonderful beginning to it, actually! We rang in the new year with a splendid view of fireworks set off from the top of the Space Needle in Seattle, a short walk along the streets of Seattle with thousands of highly energized people of all ages, a good sleep, and then a tasty brunch in the morning with pretty awesome people. Pictures to come:)</div>

I looked at my blog post last year at this time, and I did not so bad with my new years resolutions! 3 out of 4. Which is still not considered a real success. So I am not going to post my NYR this year! :) What a solution, eh!?</div>

It's hard to believe that it's fall already! It has been a fabulous summer, and I feel pretty lucky to have had a good long vacation and a ton of mini ones! Also, it was awesome to have Joni, Cara, and Camilla visit... because although I wasn't technically on vacation, it sure felt like I was:) Work went well too... I finished my orientation at the hospital in early August, so the rest of the summer was exciting getting into the swing of things at a new job! </div>

Here's a scenario to make you laugh:
Tia and I are driving on a freeway and are still relatively new and unprepared for "turnpikes", or toll booths which only accept change. Some have people manning the booths (teeth are not required for this job), but others do not. Stopped at the turnpike, we were digging through our wallets to scrounge up change which we did not have! So... can't go backwards... not really supposed to go forwards... and off we go!!! The red buzzer and siren went off, but we escaped unscathed!
Next, we are driving again and I have the hiccups! Ouch. Tia assures me that they are "party convulsions"... and nothing to worry about:)
Cue: Howl with laughter. (At least we did...)

I really love living on Vancouver Island, but am also pretty thrilled that a day trip to the big city of Vancouver is possible when cabin fever starts to set in. Or island fever? Although we have everything we need here, there is no skytrain (yet), and to me, that is a good enough reason to cross the water to the mainland. There's something about underground tunnels covered with ads and graffiti art, sky-high rails, and hundreds of busy, beautiful people that I will never tire of. </div>
