Hey everyone!

While Leah was running around New York with Catherine, I went home to beautiful British Columbia for a friend's wedding. I feel like I saw all of Metro Vancouver and then some. It was good to be home. The mountains seemed bigger than when I left!

Dad made the trip down from Whistler to pick me up from the airport. It was sweet to see him. It wasn't really the classic moment, where the family member is waiting for you at baggage claim...think more of a dad driving a car with a trailer whipping around the airport-drop-off area for the seventh time looking for me out the side window and then quickly swirving out the way of other vehicles as he sees what's going on in front of him....I jump into the moving vehicle with luggage in hand. We then took off to have breakfast with my Grandma and Grandpa Funk by my parents photo shop (D&R Photo - you should check it out).

The next day I headed up the Fraser Valley for my friends, Jason and Leah's (another Leah), wedding.

What a good looking couple.

Here are some good guys! Jeff, on the left, is a future world class architect who contemplates life as he stares weirdly in to the distance, and Alasdair, in the middle, likes the colour orange (he also teaches in his spare time).

Did I mention the mountains seemed bigger. In Ontario they call steep driveways mountains. If they saw this, half of Ontario would instantly get vertigo.

After the wedding I headed over to Colin and Brittany's new place for the night and then went out for breakfast with Colin and the Kennedy's.

After a little De Dutch Breakfast I saw my in-laws for a quick snack in Langley, saw some friends at a BBQ in Aldergrove and then went up to Whistler for another BBQ with some great family that I haven't seen in a while.

It was a great weekend and I am stoked that I got to see so many of you. We can't wait to hang out with you all again.
