February was very busy with Chris' basketball games, him planning an outdoor program for next year, me teaching lots and other little things in between. Chris' team placed first in the District but lost their first game in the Fraser Valley's so that's as far as they got. It was a fun season for him I think but he's glad that he can focus more on his classes now. Last week Ryan and Randi came for a visit during their reading break. We made the most of our time by taking them up to Whistler to experience a real mountain. The boys went snowboarding and had a great time in the fresh powder. I think Chris wore Ryan down pretty good but now he knows what it's really like to snowboard. Us girls went cross-country skiing around Lost Lake, just beside Whistler Village. We got our workout too covering over 8 km in around 2 hours. It was a perfect day, fresh snow, no wind and beautiful views. We had quite a few hours to wait for the boys to be done snowboarding so we wandered the village, hung out in the lobby of the Westin and pretended we were staying there, then bought a scrabble card game and played that in Starbucks until it was time to meet the boys. We had some supper at The Old Spaghetti Factory with a waitress who must have been pretty new because instead of refilling our cup she would leave it empty on the table and bring a new full one so we had a nice stack of glasses piling up on our table. The next day we drove down to the Seattle Outlet Mall and spent the day finding some good deals, even though I didn't get what I was looking for the others got some good stuff so it was a successful trip. We had to work the next day but that's okay because Ryan slept in until 11 anyways. Then we enjoyed the evening together playing some games. It was a short trip but a fun-filled one!
It has been very non-stop around here lately. Lots of things going on but now things are starting to slow down. The big event in January was my 30th birthday. My good friends came over and brought lots of great food and played some games with us. Let's not forget that Chris specially made me a New Kids on the Block playlist to bring me back to my younger days. We also had Rock Band set up in the basement and would every now and then hear Chris screeching underneath us. It was a great evening with great company and I even got presents, which I did not expect! Thanks for everyone that came. Another fun thing that happened was we had a really big snow fall in January that closed the schools for almost a week and let us take an unexpected breather which was great. The snow started melting just in time so we could enjoy a Canucks game with the tickets that my mom got Chris for Christmas. It was a good game and even better because the Canucks won.
