Happy Anniversary! May 20, 2009

Last week, Phil and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary!! And we did it in style! We headed over to Vancouver for the weekend, to spend one night with friends and go to the Third Day concert, and then spent 1 night downtown Vancouver.

Our adventure started Saturday morning when we got up and headed to Vancouver – we brought along our good friend Jayme as she was too going to the concert. We borrowed a GPS from friends so the drive was easy!! And there were no direction arguments… YAY!!! We got into Abby around 3 and had time to visit with Jeff and Lyndene which was awesome, they are expecting their 1st baby in Sept, so it was great to see Lyndenes baby bump and baby glow!! Sat night we were at the Third Day concert and it was nothing short of Amazing! Being in a concert with 4000 people all worshiping God is a powerful thing! They are really good in concert too, which of course made it totally worth it!

Sunday we got up and went for breaky with our dear friends, and afterwards we headed downtown to the Fairmount Waterfront for our anniversary night!!! It was fantastic!! We had a bit of a ‘bump’ when we got up to our room and realized that the suit bag was not, and not in the car. Which meant we had dinner reservations at Herons in the Fairmont and only had Jeans, t’s and runners to wear. So we made a quick jaunt to the mall near by to get a dress shirt for Phil and a pair of shoes for me (I happen to have gotten a dress just cause earlier that day that I was able to wear!). Then, it was dinner time!!! It was fantastic!! Phil and I always compare our dinners to the Wikininish which is a place we ate while in Tofino on our honeymoon – the BEST food ever, and ambiance and service. Herons came a very close, it was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!! We had a lazy and relaxing Sunday night!

Monday we slept in, which was fantastic. Since Phil works Mon-Fri and I work Thurs-Sat we only have Sundays together, and since we are up for church, we never get to have a morning of laziness, so this was particularly wonderful! Once we were up and ate, we were on our way home. It was raining pouring out, but we stopped at Stanley Park anyway. We went to the aquarium and saw baluga whales, dolphins, sea otters, seals, jelly fish, monkeys, birds and other array of animals, it was great!!! Then it was home time!! Once we got to Nanaimo we surprised Tra with a quick visit, we love to see him, and it’s definitely fun we he has no idea we are coming!!

So we had a lovely anniversary!
