cabin life

April 16, 2011
remember when i went to the cabin a few weeks back? that’s where the last two outfit posts are from, since everyone was wondering where those cool views were. i love the city, but it’s so nice to have a getaway with rolling hills and lake views. trip started with us driving two hours in the dark and pouring rain only to realize the key to the cabin was back in vancouver. we tried to turn around on what i like to call “creepy omg we’re going to die serial killer road” somewhere in between chilliwack and hope, but ended up having to drive all the way to hope to be able to turn around. thankfully adam and i are pretty laid back because it was a sucky situation but we were able to laugh it off. that friday night is now known as: hope and back and back to hope, the best date everrrr!

tried again to leave saturday morning on the 3.5 hour drive to merritt. it was a winter wonderland on the coquihalla and then you emerge from the mountains into the dry dessert. it’s all very strange and magical in beautiful british columbia!

i forget how breathtaking the cabin is until i’m there. the house is filled with the cutest cabin accessories and let’s face it, the cabin is nicer than any house i’ve ever lived in. that’s not even including the views of the lake. i love the cabin, i really do. we’re so lucky that adam’s aunt and uncle are kind enough to let family members use it throughout the year.

    You guys are so cute! I remember seeing your tweet about forgetting the keys. It's nice that you're both so laid-back; I'm so high-strung I would've been flipping out like crazy. And you're right, the cabin is amazing. Kudos to your aunt and uncle for having such great decorating taste.

    P.S. I was talking to Lawrence this weekend and he mentioned he saw you and Adam in a Monday night salsa class at Harbour! (This was back when he had regular dance team practices on Monday evenings.) We still need to go dancing sometime!

  • Rebecca Jane April 18, 2011 at 7:42 pm

    This could quite possibly be the perfect getaway spot!

    Also – you two are adorable!

    Great shots of the cabin!

  • herwaisechoice April 19, 2011 at 4:50 am

    That is one amazing view! You and Adam are so adorable and you are so well dressed for a weekend at the cabin πŸ™‚ Also you guys are definitely amazing for being laid back enough to just turn around and go back the next day. I can safely tell you that if it were me and my boyfriend it would be a fight all the way back to Vancouver and then staying in the city for the rest of the weekend πŸ˜›

    Hope you had fun in Whistler too!

    Such awesome pictures! My own cabin's in Powell River and all my friends have one dispersed somewhere in B.C. and there's nothing I love more than going on a little road trip out to one of them for a weekend. It's a very uniquely Canadian thing I think and I try to do it at least once a month.

    You and your boy are so cute! And I love that ring of yours.
