Things that make me smile about Vancouver...

Here is my "Makes Me Smile" list (in no particular order)...

1. Fresh Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries - better than any I've ever had!

2. The fact that people refer to something ridiculous that's happened as a "gong show".
3. All the beautiful varieties of flowers and plants that could never grow in FL or TX




4. The fact that I can pretty much walk (or if needed bus) any where I want to go.


5. The fact that the generic brand at the grocery store is Presidents Choice, when Canada doesn't even have a president
6. The word, 'eh
7. The fact that it's August and hasn't gotten above 85 degrees - makes being outside for long periods of time so much more bearable

8. That the water in lakes and oceans are almost always clear - I can see the bottom and that means I can see where I am about to step next...I like that :)



9. That fact that Vancouver is still absolutely gorgeous even in the rain


10. My fabulous roommates and other friends that I have made here



11. The fact that my house is only 5 blocks from the beach



12. Regent College - classes, chapel, friends, Ultimate Frisbee - I love it all!


13. Tim :)





14. All the incredible things that God has been teaching me since I have been here
15. Sushi, lots and lots of sushi

16. Young Brothers fruit and vegetable stand


17. Riding Tim's motorcycle on a beautiful day

18. Pioneer Pacific Camp





19. All the memorable places that Tim and I have gone together





20. The fact that everyday I hear at least one language spoken that's not English

And there's probably many more things....
