i feel great!
normdate 18.8.6
i woke up today in the beautiful chalet of my friends sam and dave. elsbeth was lying beside me. it felt good to sleep in a real bed *sigh* it felt good to wake up in the rockies.
the rockies are majestically epic. they are just huge! i love being surrounded by their greatness. they are ancient and wise. they are timeless, and beautiful.
sam and dave live in his late grandmother's chalet in canmore. this place is ridiculously beautiful, designed to be the ultimate weekend getaway complete with hot tub and sauna.
but the chalet was not nearly as beautiful as sam and dave's baby daughter, avery.
daam this baby is cute! she also happens to be elsbeth's god child.
what does being a god parent mean anyways? hoooray wikipedia!
A godparent, in some denominations of Christianity, is someone who sponsors a child's baptism. A male godparent is a godfather and a female godparent is a godmother. The child is a godchild.
hmmm...baptism? christianity? ensuring a child's religious education is carried out? caring for the child if they are orphaned? sounds like its just a title nowadays. either way, it makes the child more special to a dear friend of the parents.
i've known sam and dave from university, and we used to call them crazy dave and crazy sam. they're not so crazy anymore ;)
elsbeth was sam's maid of honour. sam was elsbeth's maid of honour. i was also in elsbeth's wedding party in october of 2004. it was an honour to be a part of their wedding.
it feels good to have known sam and dave when they were dating, and now to see them married with a beautiful child.
elsbeth and i headed into calgary to do some shopping. its only a 90minute drive to the city from canmore, surrounded by the rockie mountains. man these mountains are big.
elsbeth and i headed to mountain equipment co-op to do some shopping. i was looking for some new sandals because, in a 570n3r moment, i had left my sandals on the east shore :( i was impressed to see this in the shoe section of mec.
makes sense. if you're selling hiking shoes, why not try them out.
there isn't a mec up in yellowknife, so elsbeth was happy to have so much selection. we ended up finding a pair of sandals across the street at coast mountain sports. i had never owned a pair of teva's before, and i kinda liked them. thanks elsbeth. you fukkin rool!
we picked kristin up from work and headed to best buy where elsbeth bought a sweet canon digital camera to replace the one she had, which was falling apart. her new camera is sweet!
after a quick stop at kristin's place, elsbeth and i journeyed back to canmore for dinner at sam and dave's.
dinner, wine, good company. it was awesome to be in the company of old friends again.
babies look good on ya dave
the look on the face of sam and dave's dog copper pretty much describes how we all felt after a good meal and few bottles of wine.
thanks for opening up your beautiful home to me sam and dave.
