Our First Vancouver Apartment


Wet Kissers

In September, right after we moved here, Warren and a few of his dudes hauled off to New York for a skatecation. Some of the photos Warren shot from the trip (and an interview from a couple of the guys who slaved on the Wet Kissers video all year) can be found over on the Concretewebsite. The skate wives are super proud of these guys and totally forgive them for leaving us behind in Canada while they lived out their NYC fantasies.

Seattle With Mo

While Warren was in NYC with his skate dudes purging himself of any future skate desires (they skated a LOT), Michelle and I went on a road trip to Seattle to visit all her favourite places at the Public Market.

Early Thoughts on Vancouver


I've been putting of this post for a while. I didn't kid myself that the transition from life in Edmonton to Vancouver it would be easy or predictable, but the last month has riddled my expectations with surprises.

We left a huge and lonely apartment behind and drove through an a drizzly mess of prairies and mountains.  We hopped out of the car a few times to take photos but it was mostly a rush to set up in our new space. For the last month I'd been living in a disaster of a half-packed apartment and Warren had been living in Vancouver on our friends' floor.

We're not dying, but there are a few things we'd like to experience before we vacate the prairies:


1. Visit the Muttart Conservatory

Peace Out, Edmonton

After three years of domestic purgatory in Edmonton, these two hunnies are packing up and scootin' to Vancouver. 

Get pumped.

If you could get us jobs and a place to live, that would be cool, too.

Three Boars Eatery

Edmonton has an adorable new restaurant that just opened up by our house.  Three Boars has the most unreal assortment of fresh and scrumptious things to share with your favourite humans. Warren and I destroyed some crispy little foie gras, a poutine with three kinds of bacon (!), and a tiny s'more cake that was baked into a cup with homemade marshmallow. (I love marshmallows.)

Plus the lighting is delicious, too.

Sleepy May Weekend

Today has been such a sweet, drowsy day.  Perfect for tea and a waffle.

Late Night Picnic

I stayed home with a migraine today, and by the time I woke up (supper time, woof), it was chicken nugget time.  It's still too cold outside for a real-life picnic, so we made do in the bedroom.

Gotta use that picnic blanket we got as a wedding present somehow.

children (of the corn)

Warren and I get asked pretty (very) frequently if we are having kids yet.  And this blog is the first thing that pops into my head when I get asked that question.

it's hard being two

Hey girl

This morning when I opened the laptop, this site was booted up:




Thanks, Warren.  You da best.

ripped wife, happy life

Warren brought home a bike trainer this week.  Now I can start watching all the cable he bought because he can't say no to a deal (#embarrassing), while burning all those Happy Diet calories (#theyarethedevil) because I can't say no to the carbs (#mostlyfrenchfries).




The finished product.

Warren doesn't like being called a house-boy.



In related news, my sit-bones are furious today.

#flashbackthursday

One year ago, Warren and I went ice skating at the Legislature grounds and he slid across the rink on one knee with a little purple box and something sparkly in his mitten.

This is how we feel about how the last year has panned out:

winter

Yesterday Warren and I finally got an opportunity to work together photography-wise. Here is what we look like when we're not working.

Winter Traditions



It's officially winter in Edmonton.  That means that a few winter traditions are about to begin:

1. Make cran-apple cider in the crock pot

2. String up Christmas lights

3. Lose all my favourite mittens

4. Read the entire Harry Potter series
