The Countdown Begins

My last two weeks in Vancouver are here!  I am doing my best to fit in final visits with friends and to see as much of the city as possible.  Although I will admit to having a minor freakout earlier today about moving to another continent, I am still holding on to my excitement.  Here are a few of the things that I have been doing in preparation for my departure.
Our Graduation Reception:

Party Bus!


Most Eligible Bachelor/Bachelorette Eating their cake.


Some wonderful fellow B.Ed'ers


Hosted by the Ed student council last Thursday, this was a great way to end our year!  I was chosen as “Most Eligible Bachelorette” and got to cut the cake (and generally receive substantial public attention).  A group of us took a limo to the party, and definitely entered in style!
Grouse Grind:


Up and Up!  (I poached this from the internet, as I completely forgot to take any photos!)

A friend and I finally conquered the grind this weekend.  I had been warned that it was overcrowded and boring, but I really enjoyed it!  I worked up a sweat, and enjoyed the view from the top.
Whistler:


I have been dreaming of going to Whistler this entire year, and made it up for a day this weekend.  The village was beautiful, but the best part was a picnic lunch around Lost Lake.  I wish I could have spent more time, but I am so glad I got to see it.  

Beach Time:


Ollie and I sunbathing at the doggy beach.


Lastly, I have been soaking up as much sun as possible!  We have been lacking in the sun department this summer, so I feel like I am entitled to a few days of lying out on the sand doing nothing but reading my book.  As a redhead, I sometimes forget that I am not intended to be a sun creature - and my current sunburn is a mean reminder.  No regrets though!  China's smog will be protecting me soon enough!


I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather we have been having, and getting out to enjoy our beautiful country (even if you aren't about to abandon it.)
