Grouse Grind

Rav is my crazy coworker who is so beast that she does the Grouse Grind multiple times a week. I went with her and told her to go on ahead of me. She said, "Really? You don't mind?" and I nodded. "OK!" she said, and started RUNNING off ahead of me as I watched in disbelief. I texted her multiple times on my way up telling her how I was dying, but I did finally make it to the top. I hate the Grind every time I go, but it feels so good once you're done!

Stanley Park

Went to watch an outdoor showing of Zoolander at Stanley Park. I took this picture as we walked along Stanley Park to get to the movie. Vancouver is so beautiful! I can't get enough of it in the summer.

Vanier Park

Woke up at 6am for an early morning run, before a 10 hour shift at work. Am I crazy? Not when this is what I see :)

Tintin

Phoebe was supposed to paint me Tintin on the back of my entry door, but she got a job in NYC and has to move in two days, so I settled for a quick drawing on my chalkboard wall instead. That girl has talent. She drew this in five minutes!
