Yesterday and today I have been busy in the kitchen! I made homemade ravioli (the ravioli dough was made with roasted red pepper puree) and the stuffing was made with ricotta cheese, parsely, spinach, and herb and garlic cream cheese - yum yum!
Then I made 16 mini banana loaves! I used the tray with the mini sized loaf pans and they are so cute! I have already put a little care package together for my boy to take back home with him to put in his lunches!
Well, that's all that's happening today...enjoying my last few days off before practicum starts on Monday :-(
Oh, 2 more sleeps til I see my man!!!! Soooooo excited to see him!

My 4 day weekend in Vancouver with the BESTEST boyfriend EVER!
So I headed off to Vancouver on Thursday to see Tyler- here is the itinerary of the weekend.
Thursday: Hung out at his place and watched the hockey game. He made me dinner which was pork chops, the best herb and garlic potatoes you could ever imagine and a salad full of great veggies!
Friday: Tyler had a test to write first thing so he went off to accomplish that while I took my time getting ready for the day. He came home and announced we were heading to Science World! We couldn't have picked a better time to go as they had an exhibit on how Purdy's Chocolates are made - yum yum! We then headed for lunch at Cactus Club on Robson and did some shopping - how can you not on Robson!?!? That evening he made me another fantastic meal of fettuchini alfredo with cherry tomatoes, green peppers and asparagus - and watched a movie.
Saturday: I needed a light jacket to go with my fancy clothes for dinner that night so Tyler was a good sport and let me go shopping :-) He had made reservations at the Grouse Mountain Observatory for dinner that evening so I had to be looking spiffy! So we got all dressed up, jumped on the Grouse Mt. tram and road to the top for a VERY fancy dinner :-) After dinner we relaxed for a bit at his place and then headed downtown to meet up with another couple in which I knew the guy from work and he knew the girl from high school - we had drinks at an Irish Pub called Doolins - it was a great way to end our evening out.
Sunday: We slept in, were a bit lazy and then he took me for brunch at this cute little place in North Van called Tommy's. They had a great breakfast selection and their were so many people waiting for a table they had a list going - oh and they only have about 8 tables in the tiny place. After that we visited with his brother and his girlfriend and spent the rest of our day just hanging out together, enjoying our time together and going over how much fun we had had together :-)
So that was my fantabulous weekend with Tyler and I can't wait to see him on Friday when he comes home ;-) I just can't get enough of him - he's the best! We both think we are the more lucky one to have each other - but really I think I'm the luckiest!
Sorry if that just made you wanna vomit! But he really is an incredible guy - I gotta give him credit! He's so thoughtful, and he keeps me in stitches - as do I with him - so it's a great combo we got goin' on! :-)
Ok, I'll stop there....I promise I will take a picture of us this weekend so I can share it!

Classes are DONE!
Yesterday was the last day of classes! Wahoo!!!! I found out yesterday that the only class that I would have had a final in, I got a B so I dont' have to write it!!! So that means I have NO exams! So I am taking the weekend off and then I have all next week to do my planning for 3 week practicum, which is due next Monday.
Last night I had my presentation for my senior Physical Education project (mini thesis) and they presented all of us grads with really nice silver whistles engraved with MUC (Malaspina University-College) PE '07 and on a Malaspina lanyard. The picture is of me in front of my poster :-)
So this afternoon I'm heading off to Victoria with Tyler - we are going on a date night :-) Then tomorrow we are off to the mountain, again. We had so much fun last weekend we thought we'd go on the last day of the season - tomorrow - and it's slush cup up there so that should be fun to watch! Then it's down to work Mon-Thurs and off to Vancouver to see Tyler for the weekend!
Things are wrapping up with school and summer is almost here - and I made it through the semester without any tears!!!! Mom is impressed!
Hope ya'll have a splendid weekend!

DATES!
I'm a little hesitant to post about my dates, yes I said dates, because every time I do it doesn't work out - and I want this one to work out. Oh I'm not superstitious so here goes...
First date: We met for coffee (actually Frappachinos) at Starbucks, went and sat down by the ocean - chatted - went bowling (he beat me once, I beat him once) then we went for SUSHI! Yup, he likes sushi too! It was such a lovely date :) It lasted for 5 hours!
He is handsome, a TOTAL gentleman - I mean TOTAL! He even phones or sends me a text to follow up on a date to say thanks for a great time. How sweet is that?
Seconds date: We made plans last night to go for a hike today so we went up to Ladysmith just after lunch and had a good 2 hour hike! It was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to get to know each other better. Then we were sooo hungry we hit up Subway and brought it back to my parents house (they were out) and enjoyed our late lunch and had a nice little visit after. He heads back to Vancouver tonight, but he's back on Thursdsay and we have plans to go skiiing (me) and snowboarding (him) on Friday and we are going to go see that new movie with Will Ferrel.
Oh and he's really good about calling me - he's gonna phone me later tonight when he's home :) I didn't even ask for him to do that!
I brought my camera with me, but left it in the car when we went on the hike - I was so mad at myself - I could have posted those pics for you all to see :( Oh well I'm sure I can share his picture soon enough.
I think this one is going to be something good.
