week in the life // monday

Week in the life is a concept by Ali Edwards that focuses on documenting the everyday life for a week once a year. I've been smitten by the idea but last year I felt like my everyday life was rather mundane and there wasn't much 'worth documenting'. When I saw the dates for this year's WITL I had to participate because this week will be crazy and documenting it will give me lots to talk about. This week I'll: finish my first year of college, move back across the Atlantic to Germany, finish a wonderful week of vacation in the Fraser Valley and get to see my friends and family again after four months!

Since I was too tired to write a blog post yesterday evening here's my WITL monday post:





Wake up at 7:18am, being way too tired, make tea, wait for my mom to get up and have bagels for breakfast. We knitted and had some more tea. I'm knitting the Dryad scarf by Jared Flood and my mom is currently knitting socks. Next we packed a suitcase (only one more to go! hopefully all our stuff will fit in the last suitcase...), my mom neated the edges of a minky fabric I bought to use as my next quilt backing because it made a mess and I wanna use it as a blanket on the flight home. Since the weather was gorgeous and warm we decided to drive to Chiliwack for another quick trip to Hamels fabric, then we made a little detour to look at the cute houses and gardens in the area, drove up to the Bridal Veil Falls provincial park where we had a picnic and went on a very short hike to the falls. They are stunning!! Since the afternoon light was gorgeous we snapped some photos and headed to the Sasquatch provincial park from where you have a great view on Lake Harrison. It was peaceful and we looked at our newly bought fabrics (I bought a jelly roll with Aneela Hooey's 'A Walk in the Woods' collection. Loooove!). After a quick trip back to our friend's house where we're staying for the week we drove down to Chiliwack again to see 'The Lucky One'. My mom and I loved the movie although we were both glad we had read the book first.
