Springtime is here.....

Lately us Graham's have been on this social buzz. Parties, special events, unexpected visits from friends..ect.

First of all, our good friends' Jon and Krista are getting married on the long weekend. Jamie and I both attended their stag/stagettes. Actually I hosted the stagette. Us girls had a night of restaurant hopping and topped the night off with Kareokee Box on Robson Street. It was really fun because we dressed Krista up in a sequin dress, teal heals and very 80's makeup and hair (don't have a picture so you'll have to just imagine the craziness).

All the girls and I had a sleepover at our apartment.The next morning I went shopping with a few friends and bought some new clothes to add to my very lacking waredrobe.



This past weekend we had some Burns Lake friends come over for a day of window shopping on Granville island and for an Italian feast (made by Jamie and Sonya) at our apartment.



The soon-to-be married couple (in August). Jamie and I will be attending their wedding in Newfoundland (Jamie will be the best man).



These kids don't get out much!!



What's this? Another random parade on Commercial Drive which left us wondering..what is THIS parade for?




Will (Jamie's bro) graduated from TWU (finally!!) and we were there to witness the event.

There's nothing quite like the Graham brothers. Can you believe these 3 guys share a single bedroom. Oh they also share their sleeping space with a motorcycle engine, a lizard and beer brewing equipment!!



Jamie's mom (my mother in law) stayed overnight with us and we had a really fun time showing her the sights and tastes of Vancouver. Here's Jamie and Ma in English Bay.

The Sun Run--I did it!!

Last Sunday, April 20, I (Jennica) ran the Vancouver Sun Run. I signed up with some staff from my school.

Did I train hard for the run? Honestly....NO. In the months that proceeded the run I was very inconsistent. Some weeks I ran once, some weeks twice and on a very good week i would run three times. i also never made to 10 km in my training, I only got to about 7 or 8 km. And I'm on a steady diet of chocolate...hehehehehe

Anyways, I finished the race. I ran almost the whole 10 km. Once I hit 7 km, I walked for a bit then I ran all the way to the finish line. My time was 1 hour and 13 minutes. Not bad, eh?



Here's a group shot of my staff and i after the race (at BC Place)

Welcome to the world Levi

This past weekend Jamie and I met our 3 day old nephew, Levi, for the first time. Here are some pics of our trip:

Hornby Island and Victoria

We stayed in a cozy wooden house with no running water and a wood burning stove with 10 of our friends. It was a blast!


We went to the Farmers Market and we were delighted to hear some good harmonica playing from one of the locals.

These bluff reminded me of pictures I've seen of PEI and Newfoundland. Just splendid.













Zoe (our niece) just turned two.

Jennica goes to Costa Rica
