It has been awhile since I have updated on here. At least before our hiatus. As I write this, we are in Mississauga experiencing van troubles. We have a rental truck at the moment and are awaiting word as to whether we have to head to South Carolina with the rental or not. But let me go back to the holidays.
Spent one short day in Toronto at the beginning of the hiatus. Then I flew out from Toronto Island to Ottawa on the 20th. Meghan picked me up at the airport through the thick snow that had fallen. Hadn’t seen her since Florida, and it was so wonderful to be reunited. We headed into the city to pick up her sister and had a quick sandwich. Mistake. Why must I always toy with gluten. Argh.
We spent most of the 6 days at her parents house, but also had 2 nights downtown at a hotel. We hoped to give me a tourist visit, but it was so cold and so snowy that we spent most of our time in the hotel watching the Home Alone movies. We did have a great brunch at Manx Cafe, and delicious Mexican dinner at Ahora. Christmas morning with her family was wonderful. A great substitute for those at home in BC. I made french toast croissants, which is now my annual xmas meal. We all soiled each other with thoughtful presents.
I met a bunch of Meghan’s friends at a party and also home visits. Even had a chance to see my friend Kat and her bf David for lunch, as well as Dan and Laura for coffee. We flew out to Vancouver on the 27th. Arrived at 12:30am. Cabbed to Meghan’s apartment around 1ish, and then were up at 9am to head to the ferry. We had one night in Courtenay with my family there, then 2 nights in Powell River at my house. I was lucky enough to be home in time to dig a hole in the front yard so a plumber could repair a couple leaks.
We drove to Vancouver on the 31st. Our night plans worked out soooooo well. A fantastic concert called One Night Stand at the Rickshaw Theatre in Chinatown. Truly a great night of cover songs from artists we both like. Then off to PL1422 for a theatre folk party. Saw some great friends and also had a chance to reconnect with people I haven’t seen forever.
On New Years Day, Meghan and I unconventionally got engaged and set a wedding date. We were chatting with family, and we both decided that yes we really do want to marry each other. July 12, 2014
