Sombrio Beach

On Friday Brittney and I decided to make a two hour trek to a place called Sombrio Beach.  It's just a little bit south of Port Renfrew and about a one hour drive past Sooke.  It. Was. Amazing.  I don't think I've ever been somewhere as beautiful as this place.  To get to the beach you walk down a forested trail that emerges onto a gorgeous beach.  It was breath taking!  There were surfers in the water riding some of the bigger waves and a few families scattered along the shore.  Brittney and I walked along the rocks until we couldn't walk any further.  We had initially planned on hiking in the forest, but once we saw the beach we decided to just walk along, take some pictures and admire the beauty.  I can't wait for more beautiful weather so there can be more adventures just like this one!

Here is a preview of the adventure Brittney and I went on today!!  More to come soon :)

long overdue...

Why hello there!  Long time no see!  I know this is my excuse for everything but school really has been very busy!  Midterms, papers, quizzes, assignments, there has been a lot going on.

Anyway, here are some photos I took while I was home for reading break a couple of weeks ago.  I'm still learning how to use my film camera so please excuse the gnarly colouring in some of the pictures...  All of these were taken on a very windy day at Crescent Beach, one of my most favourite places on earth!

Although we're a few days in to March, which should mean spring is on its way, it certainly doesn't feel like it.  Two days ago snow covered the ground at home while Victoria was getting pounded with rain.  Since then the rain has not let up and everything has a soggy feel to it.  I am definitely ready for some clear, warm weather!  Hope your week treats you well! Tomorrow is Wednesday which is halfway through the week, so basically the week is almost done!

beautiful [procrastination] weather!

I don't really have anything interesting to say other than the weather is fantastic.  Cold, but beautiful.  

Finals are approaching and I am procrastinating studying like no other.  Exercise, tv, movies, Sims, crafts, pinning, cleaning, eating, you name it, I'm doing it.  

A couple of important birthdays are coming up too so I'm getting ready for thooose.

I'm really just writing this as another way to procrastinate so I should probably get back to the books.  I hope that wherever you are the weather is as nice there as it is here!

Mount Doug

This weekend Brittney and I went on a hike!  We climbed the biggest mountain in the world!  Well not actually but it sure felt like it part way through...  Both of us are slightly out of shape so parts of the climb were rough but for the most part we totally conquered it!  When we got to the top we reveled in our accomplishment took some pics and admired the view.  It was super windy and a bit rainy so we didn't stay up there long but we loved it while it lasted!

Beach Walk

There is nothing like going for a walk along the beach on a beautiful afternoon with people you love!  Zoe and I had been sitting inside all day working on homework [and maybe playing some Sims...] so we decided to seize the beautiful day and go for a walk!  We blasted Tegan and Sara on the way down and spent the rest of the time walking and laughing and chatting!  It was a great time!
