smoke signals

i've been a little off the grid this week. things have quickly picked up now that i'm full-time in my department and i've been balancing my evenings with hot yoga at an amazing studio in kits, and a spin class i found downtown. even better, matt & lizzie were in town this week! it's nice to have a family dinner after work, and it's super fun to be able to show them around the city! (also my waist line is rapidly expanding from all of our amazing meals).

pizza for 10 for 3, cheers to vancouver!, lemon meringue
 parfait, & rabbit lasagna...to name a few

until i get a canadian phone plan, it's tough to stay in contact if i am out and about after work. since my only method of communication is through text and facetime over wi-fi, it's been too late to get in touch with the midwest and the east coast by the time i get home from adventuring all day long!

so...i thought i would drop a line to let everyone know that:

my work permit was approved this week!! wahoo!!

in this family we cheers with donuts. lemon poppyseed donuts to be exact.

this means that my summer travel plans are a little accelerated, and i'll be back to vancouver sooner than originally expected, for a start date of july 22! 

june 15 - july 6: vancouver
july 6 - 13: chicago
july 13 - 17: NYC
july 17 - 21: STL
july 21 - ∞: vancouver!
