Tasha's Visit
For those of you who arent aware, Tasha is Delanie's cousin, my roommate in Japan and Calgary (briefly) and one of my very best friends. We grew so close in Japan and had sooo much fun together. We hadnt seen eachother for over two years!! Both of us have had a baby since then. She had a girl last November and her name is Elina and she's very cute. She's really chubby, and has huge cheeks. Her nose and mouth disappear in her profile, it's hilarious.
I went down to Victoria on Tuesday to pick her up. I was so excited I couldnt sleep the night before. I was up at 5am. I had to leave pretty early to pick her up, but not that early. Of course, her luggage didnt make it though to the island so we had to take it up with the baggage lady. She called us divas as we left. We drove home, and went to visit Delanie. Tasha hadnt seen them since my wedding. It was Delanie's birthday so we planned a little get together with all the girls at Tracy's house. Tasha went swimming in Brannen Lake with the kids.
I dont have time to write everything in detail so I'll give a quick overview of the things we did
-The get together didnt last that long because I was so tired, but we had crepes and they were really yummy.
-We went to parksville beach, and it was beautiful and perfect. The water was all warm because the tide was in, and covering the hot sand.
-We ordered take out from Amrikkos and it was really good
-We went to the gym to one of my favourite classes (I've just started going again and man am I out of shape)
-We played Dance dance revolution- my first time since Christmas (good times)
-I cut her hair and gave her a cute new look
-We had dinner at mom and dad's. It was salmon and many other tasty items such as zuccini delight. We played games after.
-We went to Cathedral grove and it was the first time for both of us, believe it or not. It was so pretty. We somehow managed to miss the waterfall? Adriel liked it because the trail was really bumpy and as long as I was moving he was happy.
-We stopped at coombs on the way home, where i bought at belt and a cute little cd case for Adriel's cds. We also got the best nectarines, chocolate, candied salmon, and of course the yummy bread.
-We went out to Melano's for date night. Then we played games with Doug and Delanie and Douglas.
On Saturday I had to take her back to the airport in Victoria. We listened to Adriel's lullabyes on the way down, and had some good laughs. We had good laughs all week. I was so sad to say good bye. It felt empty and lonely on the way home. For some reason I took saying goodbye really hard. Im still really sad about it. I dont know why she's so special to me. Its like what Karey wrote about hers and Laura's friendship. When Tasha moved home from Japan I cried and cried and cried. I felt like my heart had been broken-like a break-up. It lasted for a long time too. I felt that way again this time too, only not quite as bad. She's such a silly, happy, great friend. I love her so much. I think part of whats so hard is that I know I wont ever get to be close like that to her again. We'll always be apart from eachother, and only ever get visits.
