Life's been pretty hectic lately - it's summer and we're all trying to get the most out of the sun before we hibernate in fall and winter months. We've been traveling to places - Seattle, Whistler, Vegas, Ladner (blueberry picking), Spanish Banks Beach, Allouette Lake (best lake in BC!), and in between, getting settled into a new lifestyle, and partying and hanging out with family and friends. And though it's hectic and leaves me exhausted almost exhausted everyday, life's been good. It could be better with a few changes but looking at where we are now, even with the current circumstance, we're pretty blessed. And that, I am always thankful to God for. :)

I am a little bit displeased with myself though - not for anything life-changing - it's just occurred to me that I haven't introduced my little boybun! My friends and family have seen him all over Facebook, of course, but how dare I forget to mention him here? He's been my little bundle of joy and cuddles ever since having him in my life - my silly bun Casper! Got him late October last year and he's now a year old - birth month is August.

Happy Couples Do This, This, and This and That

I've seen so many lists all over the internet of advices on how to keep a relationship going strong and happy - what to do and what not to do. And everyone's digging them and inhaling them - in hopes to remember to apply these in their own relationships or for future ones. I admit to being a fan of these lists when I was single, and even more when I got into a relationship. But however much I read them, I can't seem to retain what's been advised. When I was single, I did it so I know what to do when he finally comes along and when he finally did, I read to check if we're doing the right thing in our relationship, according to what the lists said.

Of Weddings, Swings, Instax Pics, Roses, And He Who Makes Me Happy

It has been a long while. And I'm happy to report that so much has changed. Changes that are for the better, changes that I've been waiting for, for quite a while now.

A best friend has gotten married to the love of her life as I stood happily witnessing their union as their Maid of Honor. With their union came new acquaintances and friends, and a new kind of fun and adventure began, with unexpected results that can now be told as funny albeit somewhat embarrassing stories.
