Full Life.

I've lived a VERY FULL LIFE these past couple days. I'm not talking of just positive things... just THINGS that FILL up a life. My goodness - I've been so charged up these last few days; Emotionally, Spiritually, and Physically! I'm exhausted. I finally broke down last night after we came home to find out our cat had peed in our bedroom and the whole house reeked of cat urine. It's not really the cats fault - it got locked in the room. I learn new things about this cat all the time - last night I learned that it likes to hide in random places, and that I should never assume as to it's where-abouts!

Our little get-a-way was a blast. Dispite of a SERIES of mishaps...

From missing our ferry, to bomb threats at departure bay, to mastitis, to cat pee...

Lots of things went right too! (Here's me trying to be super positive -Like I usually am! - whilst feeling rather un-positive!)

Whistler was awesome. Even if it was just for a day. We stayed at the Delta (courtesy of the "Friends and Family Rate" through Meghan! - Thanks so much!). We slept in (because the bomb threat caused us to arrive in the wee hours of the morning) and after hunting down a breast pump (in a resort town - not easy!) and visiting the doctor (she looked about 25 and I couldn't help but think - she's got a cool life!) we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and then headed to the hill for some riding!

I've identified that I have "performance anxiety". HA! Funny... coming from someone who's usually described as "bubbly" and "outgoing". After much encouragement from Joe...

I HAD A BLAST! I really love biking! I don't get so much of a thrill from the "down hill" part - as much as I get from the "technical" part. I rode Joe's downhill bike for a bit - but then just wanted my little hardtail back because I felt I could control it more. I even rode some built ramps and such - totally out of my comfort zone!

We got a little muddy... :)

After our adrenaline adventure we walked around the village visiting galleries. Much of them were similar to the one I used to work at. It was nice to see some art by familiar artists. I was a little disappointed however that their work hadn't evolved much since I last saw it 2 years ago. My favourite gallery was the Adele Campbell gallery - mostly because it was staffed by a friendly, yet professional, gal who was happy to chat with us. I tried to hunt down some work by my favourite artist Jesse Reno (as he's part of an annual show up in Whistler every year) but ran out of time. The gal at the Adele Campbell gallery had seen his work though - so it was cool to hear her opinion!

It was AMAZING to have alone time with Joe! It felt so out of the ordinary! I have so much fun with this man...

On a way more personal note...

Please continue to pray for me. I feel my plate is FULL - and I'm just longing for the security that comes from being in the arms of Jesus. I felt a huge spiritual battle around me last night... it was really terrifying. Thankfully I know who wins that battle.
