sweet yeezus.

my parents always said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but C'MON kimye...north?!? west!?! gimme a break. while i appreciate the attempt to upstage my latest and greatest adventure, could these two try to be a little bit subtle...like, ever?

phewf. now that i've got that off my chest, this could not have been a better week in vancouver. i arrived saturday afternoon and checked in to my hotel downtown, which is just a short walk over false creek to kitsilano ('kits' if you're in with the cool kids), where my office is located.
gorgeous walk to work over the burrard street bridge
last weekend i did a ton of wandering in the city, hitting up gastown for brunch (where i spent my first canadian dollars!), grocery shopping in yaletown (note: carrying groceries home is harder than it looks); and of course, practicing my walk to work so i wouldn't get lost. #nerd
perfect first brunch @catch122 in gastown with thads
i spent the whole week in training with about 10ish other newbies, which was absolutely great. it's incredible the amount of contagious energy that comes out of a group of such inspiring people. we were busy all week learning about the company and the brand, and even got to hit up some yoga classes in the community! since we were out of training before 5 every day, we also had time to explore awesome restaurants and bars, which always helps a city feel like home.

after drinks with my fellow onboarders on friday, i woke up early and drove 20 minutes to grouse mountain with my friend (yes! i have a friend!) sarah, where we hiked the grind, a killer 2.9km trail up the face of the mountain. (for those of you that are wondering, we rocked it in 63 minutes.)
