This & That

This past weekend was absolutely gorgeous! The sun was shining and everyone was in a fabulous mood. For the most part our weekend was pretty typical. However, Chad & I had the pleasure of going on a double date on Friday night. I honestly couldn't remember the last time we went on a double date. It was a blast! Chad & I really enjoy trying new things. We're not your typical go for coffee type of couple (don't get me wrong we do enjoy a good cup of joe ;-)). I had mentioned to my girlfriend there is a yoga studio in White Rock that does candlelight yoga. She jokingly said we should do it as couples. Well of course I jumped all over that! So Friday night the four of us put on our lulu's and headed out. The yoga focused on relaxation and was a very introductory class. I've done yoga in the past and really enjoyed it. However, having my tall and not very flexible husband working the mat next to me was the ultimate self control challenge when it comes to the giggles. I honestly had to look at my toes or close my eyes for most of the class. Chad did fall asleep during the cool down and yes I did start laughing. However, the yoga instructors stink eye quickly snapped me back into my deep breathing and relaxing.
After our work out we all inhaled some fabulous sushi and then capped off the night with Starbucks (see I told you we liked coffee). It was such a wonderful night.
Saturday was also sunny and beautiful! My family joined us for dinner before the CLA Hounds hockey game. The boys went for a walk/bike ride before dinner and my Dad took a few fun pictures. I know you're all probably wondering about Chase's massive helmet. ;-) Poor Chase inherited the large head from me and this honestly was the only helmet that fit him. I laugh almost every time he wears it. We all had something we wore when we were kids that haunts us to this day. I'm just trying to make sure Chase doesn't feel left out.

I love this picture of my little bean at bath time!
We all went to watch the Hounds hockey game later that evening. Unfortunately, the end result wasn't what we were hoping for. Once again the TWU bombers defeated our Hounds. We'll get them next time.
Sunday we went to church and then after I had a lovely date with my Mom in the city. It was so nice to have some one-on-one time and catch up. We of course managed to get a little shopping in. ;-) She is one of my favourite people to shop with.
All in all it was a lovely weekend and of course it went way to fast. Here's to another week! Hope it's a great one for you.

The "new" girls night out

Last night I went grocery shopping in the states with my girlfriends. It's funny to me that 5 years ago my calendar was filled with work trips, double dates or day trips with the hubby. Now when I look at my calendar it has play dates, supper club and my new version of "girls night out" hitting up Trader Joe's. Ha! The best part is I'm just as excited to go grocery shopping. It truly is the simple things that are the best in life. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Hooray for Friday!! I'm picking up my new vehicle today (eek!!) then we're off for dinner with friends. A day in the city with the in laws tomorrow and a very full Sunday. :) I'll be sure to post the highlights. Enjoy your weekend!
