Pitt Meadows Day

Ahh what a nice weekend! The drive on Friday was really nice, we took a new route to Merritt with lots of beautiful lakes and grasslands. The whole drive I kept looking at Jason with a huge grin, occasionally saying "This feels just like Christmas!!" Seriously people, I know I've been away only just over a month but you guys are just all so awesome. It felt longer. Anyways, we got to the Gregor's just after 9pm, and had a nice visit with them out on their new patio.

The next morning J woke up early for his bike ride with his dad and some other dudes. I would've been all for this had it not been Pitt Meadows Day! I got up too and had a nice coffee, and got ready until Andrea and Lydia came over. We walked up the parade route, but amazingly this was the first year I didn't really watch the parade! We met up with my mom and Justin, and some other people along the way, which was great! We then decided we were very hungry for lunch, so we went to the Lunch Doctor while the parade was still on. This proved to be a spectacular idea, since we finished at the same time as the parade and avoided the mass number of people wanting lunch...

After lunch we participated in the Pitt Meadows Day festivities by getting tattooed up and streaks in my hair. (I know, I'm such a rock star!) McDonald's had free airbrush tattoos, and a hair salon booth had the "sharpie" tattoos and streaks. These ones cost money but it was for the women's shelter.

After a while we couldn't take the heat anymore (I think your heat feels hotter than ours, I felt yucky and sticky all day and it was "cooler" than Kamloops!) and decided it was time to head back and enjoy pina coladas on the patio. This was definitely one of the best parts of my day :)

Fireworks were great as usual, with the traditional Waterfall!

We then ventured up to the Mellander house for more visits until the wee hours of the morning. We didn't mean to stay up until 2:30, but I'm glad we did. :)

Of course I was glad until it was time to get up for church. That wasn't as much fun. But we even managed to get there a bit early (even before the countdown was up on the screen!! That's unheard of!) It was awesome seeing people at church, and being in the comfort of home. I know one day I'll feel that at a church here, but for now I just look forward to the weekends we get to spend at Burnett and with the people we love.

I just don't know how I'm going to survive without Burnett ... until... next weekend.... yes... next weekend. We'll be there again! Haha we joked that we hadn't found a church yet so we've decided to commute. :)

Anyhow, I'm off to watch some TV and hang out with the hubby. Please pray that tomorrow I hear back from the furniture store and that it's GOOD news!! :)
