What I've Been Up To- Summer 2018

You guys,
I've been enjoying Summer so much this year.
I was unsure if I would enjoy it, seeing as I'm off work later this year than last.
I'm making the best of it.
To start off the Summer right I took an extra long weekend for Victoria Day (which I never do) and we went camping!

It made me want to do a lot more camping this year (which we haven't yet, but will) and I ended up investing in a double sleeping bag.

After that trip my love was gone for about a month, luckily our weather wasn't that great for the month of June so we weren't missing out.
Then July I had holidays and the weather was hot.
We took day trips here and there and did a big clean where we got rid of a lot of things we're not using.

It's fun exploring where you live.
I've lived in the same town for 30 years and had never been to Port Renfrew, so we finally went there.  Unfortunately the trip was cut short due to truck issues, but it was neat to see none the less.

Tonight I made shrimp cakes and they were freaking delicious! Both the boy and I decided it was a keeper recipe.
Since my last post we've lost three family friends, so that's been rough and one hit me harder than expected, but at least they're all no longer in pain and that's what I keep telling myself.

I have a few long weekends coming up and some holidays on September 1st.
I really want to start writing and blogging again, I've missed it more than I thought I would.

Anyone else scoping out Autumn decorations and candles?
Too early?

Anyways, I feel like I've been really trying to love life lately.
I'll have a post coming soon about the supplements I've been using and what's been saving me from my anxiety.

A Bumpy Camping Trip

I told Nathan that he can't go to work until June.
So I planned us a camping trip from May 30th-June 1st, and being my luck he got called for a job for June 2nd.  So we had a partial camping trip and it was enjoyable for the most part, except for the bout of food poisoning he had. . .Enjoy these Tofino and Uclulet pictures!

 My crazy dude decided it was a good idea to jump into the freezing ocean.

 Nathan was up at 4am and headed down to the beach to try and catch a sunrise, this is what he ended up with.

 Coffee in class.

 Had to get a ring shot in there.

Besides the few mishaps I had a fun time camping with this guy!  We learned that you can boil an egg in a beer/pop can in the fire and that the more blankets the better (we learned that the hard way).
