.....wild and crazy adventures in Nanaimo
Ya I know long time no post......sorry.
Here's what I've been up to....
So not this weekend but the past weekend I ventured back to Nanaimo to visit Don......and for those who don't know who Don is, he is a very nice man that I have been talking to and seeing for the past ....aaa.....almost 3 months now. One might say ......my boyfriend. Yes I said it, boyfriend....crazy I know !! We have tons of fun together hanging out and going on walks/hikes, etc....well I think so anyways. We made our way to Westwood Lake on Saturday afternoon.....we were SO excited because we read on the Nanaimo Form that there has been some sitings of ....."some weirdo's" around that area and that people should consider taking some kind of "protection" with them. Armed with my camera.....I really wanted to take the gun but I didn't want to freak Don out....hahaha.....off we tootled to walk the lake in search of "weirdo's". Sadly no " weirdo's" were found, although we did walk by a few suspicious looking men's. All and all the walk was really nice. I saw some pretty flowers so took some pictures of them.
Later that day we went over to Don's brother Gary and his fiance Lexie's house for dinner. Gary cooked up some steaks and Lexie prepared the rest of the dinner. I of course sat back and drank and did nothing.......I did offer though. After the delicious dinner we went to check out the movie Blades of Glory.....it was REALLY goooooood, I highly recommend....lots of laughs were had by all.
On Sunday we decided to take a walk up Cottle Hill. At the top are a bunch of Radio Towers that Don's has had the pleasure on more than one occasion and I am sure more will come .....on working on. It was a beautiful view from the top.
Don suggested that we take a trail down the side of the mountain that he was pretty sure linked up to the main road/trail that lead around the other side of it. Well.......lets just say it didn't. As we walked and walked and walked down this "trail" ....personally I thought it was made by the deers and other wildlife that wonders up and down the mountain. Anywho we took a couple turns left then some right then some more left ones and guess what kids..... no main road/trail. YIPEEE !! Note to self....don't let Don lead on any more "trail" walks....hahaha...kiddin. So we headed in the direction that Don thought it may be and back up the mountain. Along the way we hear a crack in the bush......hmmmmm.....oh no.....what could that be. So now we are armed with sticks we walk rather quickly in the opposite direction. Then about 20 or so feet in front of us another crack.......but thankfully it was some deer.....whew......cause if it wasn't I was gona have to push Don at whatever it was and run...hehehe.
We made out way up the side of the mountain back to the top.....yes some scaling of the side of the mountain did occur.....thank god I had on my stretchy jeans on !!! Finally we reached the top......YAY !!
I'm not gona lie to ya .......there was a few moments where I thought me might be campin out on that mountain or at least trying to call for Search and Rescue, which would have been really funny since Don's is doing the course to volunteer (or something) with them......hahaahaa........
All and all the weekend was fun and adventurous.....thanks Don.
Hope you all are doing good and staying kinda out of trouble.

good pics, SOunds like fun, My question is What were you trying to do so far from Civilization. Aside from trying to find weirdos? Glad all is going well and congrats on the new blossoms of friendship AKA boyfriend. Hope all is well. Wish I could have come over this weekend my kids are driving me insane. Kev had to work. Have a good week and we will do it soon. Love Deb
Holy SHIT an update!! Talking openly about a boyfriend? Whaaaaaat?
Sweet now you can go for hikes with Mike, I sometimes get really cranky when my hikes with (my) Michael wind up scaling a freaking mountain in non-stretchy jeans. They used to fit...what happened? Anyways, he has toyed with his own fate many a time by dragging me up with him, for the most part I do enjoy it, but sometimes I'm just SO not in the mood.
Yah, the weirdos, that may or may not have been Michael and I...I'm not admitting anything
finally pulled the draft did we?
you couldn't have written about your awesome night sleep on the fagelbo??
harumph!

Wow, erin quite the full date, a walk, dinner a movie, more walking, As a former nanaimoite, I think it should be known that westwood lake is an artifical lake, that was an old farm, complete with barn and tractor, according to local lore you can see them if you snorkel deep enought, although the water is awful murky probably due to the copious amounts of weirdo juice, Glad the deer were the only thing rustling in the bush, that area has cougars, and no not the good kind either.
Cheers

well Auntie Erin and soon to mother, (oh did you tell anyone yet?) forget I said that...I think that the folic acid is a good thing to be taking at this stage, of.....well what we talked about that is confidential, and I think that it is too soon to tell the sex, (of the thing we did not want anyone else to know about) and it is so nice to hear that you have had a date. So be sure that I can keep secrets Erin and won't for any reason let anyone know anything about anything. I love ya and will be sure to be quiet. Glad you are hiking though, but do you think it is wise considering your state?? Well you know best I know but I am concerned. No to answer your question, I don't think it can be caused by drinking the water,but I have no proof of that.
love ya
me
COO COOO CAAACHUUUU !!!!
