john had a meeting in vancouver, canada so i tagged along and we enjoyed 10 days just the two of us!! it was quite possibly the most wonderful trip we've taken. we had such an amazing time together. it didn't hurt that vancouver is an awesome, beautiful city with so many great sites to see (it's the site for the 2010 winter olympics). it is surrounded by water and mountains. the weather was perfect the entire time and we spent every day exploring outside and enjoying diverse, yummy food, mostly seafood. after john's meeting was over, we drove 2 hours to whistler to ski for a couple of days!

OK, you're lookin' super hot in your Vancouver pics. Are you using a new eye make-up or something? I mean, you know I think you're gorgeous anyway, but something's different...ANYWAY, that trip had y'alls' name written all over it, didn't it? I'm sure John was in HEAVEN. Can you imagine what heave is REALLY like?

I'm so proud of you and John for taking that time together. You deserve it! And I agree with Jaime, I don't know what was prettier the scenery or you! I think I might need a trip to Canada;)
