Flight attendants doing the safety miming

I love when you're on an airplane and the flight attendants show you all the safety guidelines in a sort of rehearsed dance number (okay, its not a dance). Especially the fake seatbelt and oxygen masks.

Falling leaves

SO PWETTY!
I was walking home today and it's mid-July and the leaves are falling and they're crunchy and it's awesome!

Friendsfriendsfriends

Wow. I just had the BEST day at the beach EVER!

We went to Kits as kind of an Emily-is-going-away/ let's-hangout dealio and so many of my friends showed up! I was kind of surprised actually. I thought that only about 15 people would be there, but by my estimates/lists around 36 showed up for me :) and about 10 friends of friends were with us as well.
It was definitely more than I ever thought was possible. (Especially given my low effort in organizing...)

Anyways. vball, frisbee sillyness and bbt.

Big thanks to everyone for coming out to enjoy the sunshine, especially those that brought things or came before/after work.

I was a little bit anxious about people not caring that I left and now I feel a LOT better. (Wow that sounds conceited/ a bit stupid. :P)

I guess it's always glad to know you have friends that are there for you and will put in the effort.

#YOLO

:) Well, I haven't posted on here in quite a while, but it's not because I HAVEN'T been smiling, but because I've been TOO BUSY smiling. Sorry blogsite!

The last week has been amazing - just seeing all the people that make my world a happier place. Tim hortons, running across Burrard, hanging out and watching TV, Ukelele playing, Viet Big 2, Pool, Singstar, birthdays and random little moments stolen between work.

#YOLO. My first instinct is to roll my eyes. BUT when you actually get down to the core of it, it's true - you only DO live once and it really IS up to you to live it to the fullest, whatever that may be for you. For some it might be skydiving, or seeing every corner of the world, but for me it's surrounding myself with people that make me smile - whether they're here with me or across the globe.

Cute little girl!

So a couple days ago, I was at a pageant that my mom was organizing and BORED out of my mind... Anyways, one of my mom's friend's daughters (she's about 5 years old) had some fuzzy peaches. She squeezed her way down the aisle and gave each person a fuzzy peach! So adorable :) Then, about 3 minutes later, she went and did her "3-bite" checks like in restaurants asking: How does it taste? AHH cuteness overload. It even made me brother comment: it's times like these that make me want to have kids. Wowzers.

Laundry

No, not DOING laundry, but the smell of fresh laundry + rolling around in it when it's still warm! :D

Sharing your Knowledge

Okay, I understand that sounds a TEENSY BIT obnoxious, but let's just put it in context.
I am a "Cultural Ambassador" for Sauder for the visiting students from SMU. I serve as their liaison for all things Vancouver and all things Canadian. I LOVEEED Monday - when we spent the grand portion of the day just talking about cultural differences and similarities! It was super interesting and I'm very stoked to do it again on Saturday! :D

Lazy beach days

Sunshine, ice cream and just lying in the sun. Absorbing that vitamin D and turning it into HAPPINESS! :D

Can't wait for many more lazy days like these! EXCLAMATION MARK!
