6 Years

Oh my blog. I have been so busy that I haven’t posted in over a week. I’ll be posting twice today because I have quite a bit to report on.

On the 20^th my boyfriend and I celebrated 6 years of dating. 6 years. It still blows my mind. Being with him is so damn easy. I can’t believe that much time has flown on by. We celebrated by taking a trip into Vancouver (Poorly navigated by me) and went to the Aquarium. I used to LOVE the aquarium when I was a kid. My favorite animals have always been orcas so it was simply magic when I went as a kid as saw those huge creatures up close. The VA doesn’t have orcas anymore but they certainly had plenty to see.

The Jelly Invasion exhibit was the main attraction. It was pretty neat seeing all kind of jelly fish up close and personal. Even little rainbow glowing ones. I felt like a kid again and we dragged each other from one tank to the next, checking everything out that we could. It was a little crazy in there as one would assume for a Saturday. Kids flipping everywhere. We didn’t let that hinder us at all however.

We saw the white sided dolphins perform a little show and looked at belugas and sea otters before venturing into the Amazon exhibit and butterfly garden. Holy smokes was it humid in there and I could feel my hair turning into a fuzzy afro but it was so fun. HUGE butterflies everywhere. One landed on Corey’s shoulder and I shouted for him to stand still. He thought I was just taking a picture before I pointed out that there was a giant butterfly on his shoulder. Too funny!

I was briefly molested by a butterfly when one bounced off my boob while I was trying to take a picture. 

Later, to my surprise, Corey bought me a giant  pacific white sided dolphin plushie. It was so soft and cute. As a kid I couldn’t get enough of stuffies but as I grew older they all made it into boxes in our basement. I couldn’t resist this one though. It’s terribly soft and I ended up snuggling it the entire way home. 

We ended up driving around Vancouver and Corey showed me all the places he’s worked at in the past year. 

I got a dress to wear to dinner earlier this week and had my MIL do some sewing magic and attach some black lace to an otherwise plain looking dress. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and wore it out to our anniversary dinner. All in all it was a great day.
