Anna & Ben’s wedding in Pemberton

Two weekends ago we headed up to Pemberton, BC (just North of Whistler) for one of my best friends wedding. Anna and I have been friends since we met at University in 1996 (15 years ago!). We were roommates along with our friends Faye and Tash. We had some really great times living together in a home Anna’s folks owned that we called ‘the ranch’. Some of the most memorable times of my life.

It was really special to be present at Anna and Ben’s wedding. Thanks so much for having us join you for such a special event. It really was one of the most beautiful weddings we have been to.

Pemberton is gorgeous! We drove up on Friday with Claire & Rhys and Jimmy’s sister Debbie. We haven’t left the kids with a baby-sitter before so we asked Debbie if she could join us and watch the kids the day of the wedding. She was so kind to have not hesitated in saying yes.

Some of the weekend highlights:

– a walk around Whistler village on a bright sunny day without a stroller (Claire & Rhys were great at holding our hands through the crowds)

– the rugged mountain backdrop for the entire weekend

– lounging in the pool and hot tub on a sunny morning with Debbie while Jimmy was upstairs with the kids while they napped

– A brand new skate park close by for Jimmy to skate with some buddies who drove up from Vancouver

– Swimming for the first time with Claire & Rhys – they loved it!

– a night out without kids

– having Claire & Rhys spend quality time with their Auntie Debbie 🙂
