This weekend was nuts but I don’t feel as exhausted as I thought I would this morning. Must have something to do with going to bed at 9:30 last night. I must have jammed my thumb too, trying to move my laptop (because you know I can’t sit still and just let things heal) and its been swollen ever since. I’m sure all this typing I am doing isn’t helping either.

I’ve got a lot of pictures from the weekend so I will let them speak for themselves…

Krista arrived Friday morning and we spent the eve making home made pasta and then popping down to Granville for a walk, some drinks at Sip, and then a meet up with Pat at the Loose Moose. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out there drinking beer, eating chicken strips, and singing to Bon Jovi at the top of our lungs.

Saturday I was dead to the world even though I was able to sleep until almost 11. We were going to go to Sushi with Pat but my sushi place was closed so Pat came over and him and Krista went on an adventure to find take out sushi for lunch. They did and brought back about a million pounds worth.

The afternoon was spent with the boys doing their music thing and Krista and I hanging out on the couch watching two different Britney Spears documentaries while Mom came over and helped me clean up a bit. I was feeling very out of it, almost sick like, and had no energy to move even though I slept fine. The boys came up for dinner and Chad made us the most amazing steaks and baked potatoes. He even cut my steak into pieces because I couldn’t use my knife. Haha, it was so cute.

I decided that since everyone was heading to the Cambie that evening and I felt like poo I was going to stay home and have a little girls night so that I would be well rested for our Sunday adventure. Krista went with the boys for a night on the town and Marlee, Tania, & Alicia came over for some wine and company. Marlees got pictures of that.

I ended up having a restless sleep all night and awoke at 8:30 to the bright sun coming in the window. Our plan for the day was to head down to Stanley Park for some pictures so we decided to get an early start to the day so we would have time to get everything done. Dario and Marlee came over at 10:30 and we headed downtown. We spent two hours wondering around the park and then headed over to Whitespot on Georgia St. for some lunch at 1. We were so hungry that we looked at the menu and figured out what we wanted in a matter of minutes.

After Whitespot Dario and Marlee headed home and we headed down to Robson St. for some shopping and to meet up with Raymi, Fil, & Keira. We walked down Robson and stopped so Fil could get a Hot Dog and Krista a Starbucks. Then we headed over to Red Robin for drinks since we only had about an hour to spend with them before we had to head back home. Keira ordered a lemonade so Krista and I followed suit and it was like the most amazing lemonade with raspberries I had ever tasted in my life. I almost want to go back just so I can have that drink again. All three of them were so nice and it was great to FINALLY meet Raymi and Fil. It sucked we had such a short time to spend with them, if only my hand hadn’t crapped out on me earlier in the week. Raymi & Keira Anne are absolutely stunning in person.

After our drinks we all said Good-Bye and headed home. I was so ready for a nap and put on my Pjs and crashed when I finally had the chance. We spent the PM flipping channels on the TV and uploading pictures to Flickr. I eventually went to bed at 9 because I was so tired and knew Krista had to get up at 4 to catch her plane.

It was such a crazy last minute weekend but I had so much fun. A lot more then I was expecting. Sunday was absolutely beautiful and turned out to be the perfect day. Exactly what I needed amongst all the emo stuff going around. I only wished that I hadn’t hurt my hand and could have gone out more then I did. We are clearly going to have to head over to Toronto soon so we can visit again with everyone there!
