Dan and I hopped in our clunker and headed up to campbell river for a getaway with family last weekend. Our little bitty car is deceptively fast and we got there in no time after spending the morning taking forever to get out of the house (seriously, if i leave to go anywhere it's nearly impossible for me to leave my place) Anyways, my mom has moved back to Campbell River from Sparwood after living there for a year and a bit. I am happy she is back on the island and not living in a blizzard in the middle of the sticks. it is much easier to see her now as i live in nanaimo which is much closer to campbell river then crofton is. Life is nice when mom's are within smoke signal distance and can take care of you when your sick or hem your pants because you have the shortest legs in existence.
i think of the line in garden state when zach braff says that he is homesick for a place that doesn't exist. sometimes i feel like that too and then i come here and realize that the best cure for homesickness is my mom's home. the way it's decorated, the colours of the walls, the smells of her cooking. i always feel like i am where i belong.
we went for a riverside hike and i immediately lagged behind. i will always be bringing up the back of the line. i am the one in the horror movie that gets picked off first because i straggled too far behind.
i heart daffodils. they are always the first sign of life after a very long winter.
this sign is totally hilarious although maybe not so much given the recent events. although it has nothing to do with tsunami's or earthquakes. i think there is a dam that releases up the river.
i seriously have started a nail obsession. it will come to pass and i will be back to painting canvases instead of nails in no time. i need a creative outlet at all times and lately this has been all i've had time for.
maria being adorbs.
and bailey too.
this about sums up my family.
this picture of me is awful but dan is dreamy in it so there you go. my boyfriend is beautiful, your lucky i let you oggle him. ahaha. man oh man. the things i write on here.
bailey and i have matching lack of tans. actually bailey tans way more than i do and she is a red head. that is how sad my situation is.
we shot slow motion stuff in the woods. mostly jumping and dancing and flipping our hair and other awesome things. dan rolls his eyes because these are the things girls want to see in slow motion. not flipping toy cars or melons falling from buildings like he does.
sassafrass.
way to ruin the shot, dan.
Campbell River is the best place to hang out. maybe that's because it's all i've ever done there. But something about the whole town being stretched along the ocean side. it gives it this mellow, happy vibe. i want to have seaside bonfires and drink mojitos and be nostalgic there forever. you are always welcome to join me next time.
