Sorry ...

I cant seem to stay on top of my blog if my life depend on it! Things have been SO busy this past month. Since my last post things have been moving at warp speed. And look at it now - Christmas is actually around the corner - Just 8 more sleeps till Santa!

So lets see ... where to start:

Well, I flew back home for the fastest visit I have ever been on! But it was well worth it. I got to witness two of my most favorite people tie the knot, I met some awesome new, little people and got to spend some much needed time with my family.

I took a few pics of the events so here you go for your viewing pleasure:

Kel and Mike Get Hitched!

Erin Meets the Babies!

And once I got back to Vancouver, its been Go, GO, GO!!

Went away to Whistler for the weekend on the 1st/2nd for the Annual Toyota Christmas Party and a few runs on the Mountain.

Sadly, I needed some major help with my new ski gear as my boots were causing me an UNREAL amount of pain ... but thanks to the Boot God at CanSki I managed to get a few more runs in before calling it a day and hitting the bar!

The Christmas Bash managed to squelched any pain I was suffering thanks to the never ending table wine and good time spent with Friends. Feel free to take a look at the weekends events HERE

However, all fun and game ended on the ride home ... A huge snowstorm blew in off the coast and basically closed down the entire Sea to Sky highway, on which we were stuck. For hours ... it should usually take about 2 hours TOPs to get home from Whistler ... but on this fine day it took 8 HOURS!!! Thank god we had a huge brekkie with Jer and Am to fuel our bellies since we didnt get a chance to eat again for 7 hours. Nothing in the car, no water, no food and no where to go. HERE you can see the adventure first hand. But we got home, safe and sound and STARVING - lol!

The following weekend was more parties and more drinking! Phil and I took in my first ever Cushman & Wakefield LePage Christmas Party and what an event that was. It was held at an awesome restaurant in Yaletown and the open bar was a huge hit lol! Great time had by all - AS seen HERE

After all that partying - we could feel the festive spirit and decided it was time to put up our Christmas tree and decked our halls!

This past weekend was a long, hard one full of home renos! Phil and I got the keys to his new condo on Friday and started on the process of making the pad ours! The plan is to basically gut it ... well, sort of. We managed to get all the carpet up and out (FYI: pulling up tack strips are a BITCH), we got the main room and halls painted and the bedroom got its first coat of new paint too. We are getting the new floors laid down on Tuesday and are actually moving in on the 27th! Check out the pics from this weekends adventures HERE

So over all, the past three weeks have been super busy times here needless to say!

Now its crunch time - We're heading off for a much needed vacation for a few days to Seattle and Mt. Baker for some skiing and then back to Vancouver for Christmas and then BOOM - Moving Day!

Before you know it, it will be 2008 .... where has the year gone?
