Paul & Julie
I have had 2 months off of work, which is a blessing since we are so far away from family & close friends that we had a chance to visit.  My Mom, Sister, & Niece came to visit in early July.  Paul & I then had a chance to go to Atlanta to see the rest of the family later that month.  While they were here we went to Stanley Park for a picnic, Granville Market, Queen Elizabeth Park, Shannon Falls in Squamish, and Whistler.  One of our friends gave us a coupon for the Peak to Peak Gondola ride that goes from Whistler mountain to Blackcomb mountain.  It was beautiful & the weather was perfect.  We had lots of laughs & even learned that we did not like heights so much.

I know, I'm embarrassed of this first picture so it may not stay on the blog long, but this blog is for my friends who may be concerned for my fashion & beauty well-being.  Most of you know I have had the same haircut since high school with a brief stint of a "short bob" only because the lady at supercuts cut my hair uneven & had to take off 4 inches instead of 1.   My dear friend, Amy, has been cutting my hair for the past few months.  But I finally decided to be brave & do something a little different.   The last picture is supposed to be the "after" picture, but it's kind of hard to see.
