and now...a long, overdue update...

Would you look at that....it's November! Where the heck did October go??? It's been a busy month, full of fun both big and little....and of course, the day to day excitement of work, gym and the start of the NHL season!

Anyway....here are a few pics of some of what i've been up to in the last month. My friend Sue and I went to Whistler for the Thanksgiving long weekend. I have a facebook album with many more pics, which most of you have seen i'm sure...but here are a few highlights from the weekend....we spent our time riding the new Peak to Peak gondola, which connects the Whistler and Blackcomb peaks, and did some great hiking, taking in the amazing views. And of course, the Olympic spirit is everywhere!

The other main excitement of this month revolved around concerts....one band many people haven't heard of, and one band EVERYONE has heard of!

First...the David Crowder Band came to Abbotsford and 3 friends and i went to the show. These 2 pics are in the wrong order...but the point is that the concert was AMAZING! The other point is that someone randomly gave us wristbands as we stood in line, and so we got to meet the band and get autographs after the show!!

And...........then U2 came to Vancouver, and the Black Eyed Peas opened the show!! By no means did Pammer and I spend big money on tickets....so we were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy far away...but really, it's all about the experience! And they have big screens anyway, so you can still see the band...lol! Anyway the show was great, my ears were ringing for hours, and it was awesome to see so many people packed in to BC Place!

This was when they told everybody to pull out their cell phones...it looked pretty cool

There are some of my October highlights...keep scrolling to check out some of the amazing fall colours that have graced the lower mainland this month!

the fabulous colours of fall

The weather was nice for a good part of October...and brought out some amazing colours on the trees. Here are some of my favourite shots from some of my favourite parks around Abbotsford and Langley...enjoy the colours!!

ok so this one isn't really very 'fall-like'...but i've wanted to take a picture of this barn for YEARS...i don't know why i think it's so cool, but i like it...and especially the canadian flag painted on the front...!!
