Beautiful Mountains.

Current Location: In BC

Today, due to being sick, I woke up at 6am and felt rather restless. I was tired but I lacked the ability to close my eyes and drift away to sleep so I got out of bed, rubbed my eyes and wondered to myself, "What do people do at six o'clock in the morning?" Since I can't work with my knee recovery, I obviously don't get up to go landscaping anymore. For some unknown reason, while wandering down the hallway in my Joe Boxer PJ's I thought of my online banking--I suddenly realized it's about that time of the month that I should be making the transfer from my debit account to my credit card. I honestly can say I have never balanced my accounts at 6:30 in the morning before--I guess there is truly a first for everything.

After a few text messages back and forth this morning, I was smiling and ready to go back to sleep. I was then woken up at 10:30 by Rowan who was wondering when I was going to get up so we could hit the road to BC. At this point, I was a little more awake, so I jumped in the shower (where the warmth nearly caused me to fall asleep again), and burned a few CD's for the road (Chris Tomlin, U2, and Muse). At this point I realized I had to pack and wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything. Being as indecisive as I am, I ended up bringing more clothes than I can possibly wear in the next four days--but the way I see it, at least I covered all of my bases. I packed Capris, Shorts, Pants, Tank Tops and all my bathing suits (I have so many bikinis, I don't even know which one to wear). I then packed up Holly's things--her dog food, medications and her leash. We made it out on the road by one o'clock this afternoon (that's pretty decent--right?) and started with the Chris Tomlin CD. There is no doubt in my mind that there is nothing more powerful than listening to praise music while driving through the mountains. While passing through the mountains--I also realized that the scenery was also the most romantic thing ever. Soon I found myself daydreaming about taking a daytrip to the mountains. Anyways, after listening to Chris Tomlin's CD twice, Rowan put in his favorite CD of Muse. After Muse came U2 as we both nearly fell asleep on the tail end of the drive. We arrived safe and sound despite our exhaustion.

So far I've rested my knee with some icing, watched some CSI, and written in both my journal and this blog. Once I finish up this blog I plan on doing nothing (for once), this should be interesting!

Tomorrow Colin (oldest brother) comes out to join the family. Him and I plan to go tubing together--he said he'd take it easy on me so I am quite excited to get out on the water and have some fun. My childhood friend Nathan is also up here, we plan on going minigolfing tomorrow night. Other than that, I plan on reading out in the sun so I can work on my tan, finishing up a scrapbook I am making for my mom and enjoying some girl talk.

Sorry that this blog lacks any interesting topics, I am quite tired and as a result, I have begun to ramble...

Enjoy your evening!
