This is Our Idea of a Honeymoon

Being that Russ and I haven't haven't had much time to ourselves(we decided to buy a house and get married within the same summer...not for everyone), we decided a hike in beautiful Strathcona Park was a definite must before the summer ended.  Luckily September has been good to us and we had two solid days of pure sunshine while hiking!  Elk River Trail is a beautiful hike and has 2 nice campsites along the way that eventually leads to the base of Coronel Foster Mountain(2nd highest peak on Vancouver Island) at which you get a spectacular view of the turquoise water of Landslide Lake.  All in all a great trip, with great company!

Anchors Away

I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful weekend with my best friends.  I am so lucky to have such amazing people surrounding me and to celebrate with me as I am about to get married to the love of my life.  No girl can deny an evening of candy, delicious food, cold drinks, laughter, hilarious stories, and a sleepover to boot!  Thank you Jess from Sparrow&Me Photography ( http://sparrowandme.com/ ) for capturing the evening! Extra big Thanks to my matron of honor Laura, bridesmaids Amber and Colette, and Jess for setting everything up and allowing me to just show up and enjoy!  Love you all xoxo
