October is almost over! The leaves are all turning into their pretty fall colours, Ronnh and Shabina's week of wedding events is fast approaching and the rainy season will bring Teenie's biking season to an end (unless she buys herself a cute little rain jacket). Ohhhh there's just so much going on.
It's nice being in our slow season, although this year it is proving to be more of a consistent good pace season, because we have found time to play cribbage during our lunch breaks and we can put time into adding more designs to our ready to wear catalogue and at the same time joke around with our new neighbours across the alleyway.
Just this last week we had to let our neighbours know that...well...the frosted windows in their bathroom cover enough but...really...not really...well...we can still kinda see them go twosies. SO we let them know with a note taped to our window. They thought it was pretty funny, we hope, and they quickly found their own solution to the problem.
In the last few days we've actually been exposed to the sun for a few hours here and there. It's amazing! I was beginning to wonder if maybe the sun disappeared forever. Nope. I was wrong. It was all in our faces the other night as we walked home over the cambie bridge.
And last night I (brina) had the pleasure of dining with Dana Oikawa. It's been a long time since we've seen eachother and it was SUPER GREAT to spend time with her again. It's about time I introduced you to her. She rocks.
So that pretty much sums it all up. New neighbours, saw the sun again and watched Dana mash up her fancy dessert.
Christmas Eve was spent with my oh so awesome family. Rod got to see the craziness that is my family and he's still with me!! That's good news. A few highlights were Maxwell as Santa and Dwight's Christmas instructions in order to open your present. Dwight made me act out King Kong using my nephews as props. I thought I did pretty good.
We had a really great time with the Brink family (including 3 fantastic dogs) on Boxing Day, which ended with a rowdy game of Pit. Good eats, a little bit of wrestling and lots of nuts.
To end my holidays in style, I flew over to Fernie, BC, to spend New Years with Rod. We had such a fabulous time hiding out and watching movies and just being together.
