Happy Monday Everyone!
Is it just me, or has August flown by with lightening speed? Say it ain' t so!! I want to be 8 years old again playing in the sprinkle for the 31 days of August!! But now I'm playing in another fun place...the kitchen:) I have many cool things to share with you that I have been busy working at but today I'm going to share with you my weekend. I went to another wedding but this one was extra special! When I was 8 years old my mom thought I needed to stop taking on adult worries and experience some new things. So, she placed me in the Big Brothers Big Sister's program and I was fitted with my "big sister" Annette! We had a wonderful time together. She lives on a ranch so we would go horse back riding or just hang out. I loved it there! I also got to experience a lot of things that otherwise my mom wouldn't have been able to take me too including a trip to Disneyland and a trip to London, England (my graduation gift!). I was also immediately welcomed by her family and and created many friends. And now, 18 years later she has found new love and Ryan and I were very honored to be a guest at her and Max's wedding. She went through a very terrible time with her ex-husband for many years and I saw it wear on her incredibly. I'm so happy that she has found this new love who is quite incredible, by the way! We joined them at this stunning hotel that was built in 1908 called Quilchena, just outside of Merritt, BC. Ryan and I haven't ventured to much in that area so it fun to check out something new. We had such a wonderful time reminiscing with old and new friends alike. There were people there from Singapore, Panama, Columbia, Taiwan, and everywhere in between. Very fun group! So, without further ado..here's the "almost wordless" weekend! NOTE-there is no food in the upcoming picts..just so know..this is one of those LIFE posts:) Hope you enjoy!
There was a movie being filmed in the area and the main actress (left) needed a double because she couldn't ride very well. So, the owner of the hotel's daughter stepped in! Love this picture!
We found the beer fridge!! LOL
Isn't the hotel just so awesome!
Our favours were dream-catchers! How awesome is that!
The old-school cash register behind the bar!
The golf course next door - Ry was itching to play!
Flower power!So there you have it folks..my weekend with pure history! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to enjoy the last bit of summer:)
Coming up this week I'm going to share with you all my kitchen nightmares...I mean dreams:)
