The Adventures of Chris and Evey

So Shelley was asking how I met Chris and ended up moving to these here United States...and when I thought about it I realized that a lot of you probably don't know. So I figured hey what a great idea for something to blog about.

So I will give ya'll the readers digest version, or at least I will try to. I myself grew up in Edmonton, Alberta and Chris grew up just outside of Seattle, Washington. I decided to move to Vancouver BC in June 2001. After I had moved there I met Chris on a christian dating site. We started talking and became friends really more than anything. That was around November and then in December he drove up to Vancouver to meet me for the first time. It was fun, we went to movies, played mini golf, hung out with my friends, went out for dinner, played pool and drove lots and lots. But after 2 days he had to go home and I was playing miss shy and so he went home with the thought that we were going to be just good friends. A few weekends later a friend and I went down to Seattle to see him and I think we figured out then that we actually really did like each other. And that was that....we "officially" started dating in January 2002. Got engaged Valentines day 2003 and married Sept 2004. And here we are almost 4 years later. The decision for me to move here as opposed to him coming to Canada was really about his job with Starbucks. Had an opportunity come up in Canada like the one in Boston we probably would have taken that. But nothing showed up and here we are in Boston. It's a long way away from home but we like it here. So there you have it, the condensed version.

Chris got home from Seattle on Saturday night and I was SO happy to have him home, as was Belle. Sunday was an awesome day we stayed home and did nothing but watch TV and movies ALL day. It was great to just be together after not seeing each other for 6 days.

Today I had a much needed day out with a girlfriend. We went and saw "Just Like Heaven" and it was SO good. I knew I was going to like it but I didn't really know if it was something I wanted to see in theatres. But it was totally worth it. After the movie we went to good ol' Starbucks and enjoyed some drinks and a loooooooooooong chat. Refreshing, you know the ones I'm talking about. Just good "girl time" to talk about life. I haven't really had a lot of that since I moved here so it was wonderful to have that little breath of fresh air. And I have to say how PROUD of my doggie I am. Belle is one big ball of energy, she has some bad habits we are trying so hard to break her of such as jumping on people cause she is so darned excited. Anyways when Carolynne came over today before the movie Belle was surprisingly good. Sure she was excited but she only jumped a little, she was just so darn good it made me happy.
