The drive was beautiful. It was really wonderful to spend such quality time with my grandma and my dad. Because I grew up so far away from both sets of grandparents I am particularly grateful to have both of my dad's parents living in Alaska now. One can learn so much about themselves by spending time with older family members. I definitely inherited my wanderlust and love of dogs and hiking from Gramma O'lee. I'm really excited to have her here!
This weekend some friends got married up at Birch Hill. It was SUCH a beautiful ceremony and gathering of friends! The rain was kind enough to hold off until the ceremony had finished and everyone had settled inside for drinks and dancing. Being there brought back so many wonderful memories of our wedding. I can't believe how quickly our anniversary is approaching. There is about a week and a half left before D takes his Bar and things have been a tad stressful around here lately. Being at the wedding this weekend was just the reminder we needed of our love for each other. I feel continually blessed to be married to my best friend and want to remember to show my gratitude in the little daily tasks that I do each day.
Also, for all those Mamas and Dads out there, Jodi, from the excellent blog Che and Fidel has an incredible giveaway she is doing this week. I have been following her blog for about a year now and although D and I haven't begun a family quite yet, I have gained so much from following this blog and love looking at her beautiful photography of her little ones. Go check it out!
Wishing you a peaceful start to a new week,
XO Kyla
