The day the TRIAD became a RHOMBUS

This past weekend I took another little getaway up to the Walton Cabin in Windermere, B.C. More lovingly known as Kenny G's childhood home. There were several moments on this trip in which I knew that this little lady and I were intertwined in so many ways, not only were we intertwined, but Kenny G has now officially been inducted into our previously known group "Triad" and from this day forward shall always be known as the "Rhombus". The following are reasons as to why this decision was made (and not to be taken lightly) in no particular order they may be:
  • She too shares a love for sparkly, sequenced jackets that can be doubled as cruise-wear for some, and a good time for others!
  • It's never to early for a bevvy on the golf course
  • That time she decided to come barreling around the golf cart and jab my ribs with her club as a true test to our friendship.
  • She gets SWOOPED. I only once, she multiple times!
  • Her genuine love and concern as I sat behind the wheel of a Dodge "sparkle" van and she alerted her eyes for wildlife patrol just in case my co-pilot seemed to miss a few elk, deer, bear, mountain goat or raven.
  • Friends that attend the same university
  • Her controlling my cell phone for over an hour and know one knowing the difference
  • Her grandmother calling me Lisa after a first introduction and her granddaughter Karen after 24 years of life
  • When blood curdling screams are released because of ants falling out of Christine's ear, neither of us woke up, K.Anderson included.
  • Did I already mention getting SWOOPED?!
  • She can belt out Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Hanson like no bodies business
  • How about the time she slammed on the brakes of the golf cart and her partner "Lisa" went flying out of the cart. Good times.
  • She knows how to make a good "fun bag"
  • She will allow her hair to stay stuck in a homemade visor all day, just to rip it out to prove her friendship
  • Her patience with shimming lessons
  • Her love for the phrase of "another round"
  • And her brave encounter with Alex, the big, the bad, and the bold.
  • And the definitive moment is Kenny is a real friend, she knows when to LISTEN, when to STOP listening, when to TALK, when to STOP talking, when to POUR WINE, but more importantly when to STOP pouring the wine and just HAND OVER THE BOTTLE!

Because every flower that blooms has to go through a whole lot of dirt....Welcome KENNY!!!

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju

Things I Learned About Myself by Moving 5,000 KM + An Ocean Away from Home

Call me crazy - but 1 month after getting married I told Matt I was ready for an adventure.  As if getting married wasn't a crazy enough adventure!  I learned very quickly after being with Matt that I needed to stop  asking for things because he always had a way of making them happen!  March 2015 a job posting appeared on the island of Kauai.  At first it seemed like a pipe dream...I mean who wouldn't just apply for a job in Hawaii?!  So that is what we did, applied for a job...had 3 long distance interviews...told our families + friends there was "potentially" an opportunity...they flew us out there for a final interview...we had a job offer...and sh!t got real!  After a lot of back and forth we decided to book 2 one way tickets to Kauai.  And here we are, 1 year later; and it's been the biggest adventure of my life so far.  Like most curve balls in life there is always a lesson waiting for you to be learned...so here is what I can honestly say has been my learne

The things I am thankful for

Image
With Thanksgiving coming and going this year I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in a room of 20+ people and share and listen to all the things in which the people whom I care the most about are thankful for in their lives. While this list can be entertaining with 9 wonderful nieces and nephews who spout off answers like "chocolate cake", "Auntie Rachel", "Dad" and "Lego", it is also filled with heartfelt answers of family, health, love and appreciation and of course with 4 girls in one family a few tears. I spent this week thinking about the simple things in life I was thankful for.... A brother who who always takes the time to listen Big sisters being patient with little sisters Cab drivers who know when to talk and when to be quiet PVR - so I never have to worry about missing all those girly shows Good friends who always make the bad days seem not so hard and the good days feel like heaven A mom who worries about you night and day but wo
