Hey everyone
Continuing on with my story about my trip to Vancouver in July...
On the Friday, Kursty and I went thrift shopping. We went to this huge thrift store called Value Village and she bought a lot of things for Kurtis when he moved out of home and into an apartment close to UBC for the school year. We then went and had a really nice lunch at a restaurant. I love yam fries ;)
We then went to Kitsilano, which is an area close to UBC, because we had an appointment to view an apartment for Kurtis while he was at work. We really liked it but it was a bit expensive so we decided not to apply.

When Kurtis got home from work that night we got in the car and drove an hour to the town called Abbotsford, where we were spending the weekend. After checking in to our hotel, we went to the drive-in movies!! I had never been before so I was super excited.
We got to see Despicable Me 2 and World War Z. The second movie didn't come on till almost midnight, and I thought I would fall asleep during it because I was so tired, but it was so scary and full of suspense that it kept me awake!

The next day we slept in then had a super late brunch. We went to Castle Fun Park which had 3 mini golf courses, bowling, go karts, and an arcade. It was sooo much fun. We played on all 3 mini golf courses. One was outside, one was under the sea themed, and another was jungle themed. I only won one game. We played a lot of arcade games as well, like a giant Connect 4.
We got to take photobooth photos too, which I love!
Before we left we went to the prize booth to choose our prizes from the amount of tickets we had won. Kurtis didn't have enough to get me a giant teddy bear like I wanted, but he did get me a very very small teddy bear that fits into the palm of my hand. It's very cute. When we got back to the hotel we watched an episode of Dexter, before walking to a restaurant to have a nice dinner. This is the mountain we saw in the distance while the sun was setting :)

On Sunday we went to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) for breakfast, which was so good. We drove back to Kurtis' hometown of Maple Ridge, and went to a video store where his friend Kyle works so I could meet him. We then went to a local mall and met up with Ian and Casey. We then went to their friend Leanne's house for Casey and Leanne's birthday party. I met a lot of Kurtis' friends at the party. We had a lot of fun playing Pictionary. Kurtis and I were a team and we ended up winning :D
The next day I went to downtown Vancouver to meet up with my UBC girls! I was so excited to catch up with them. I met up with Keira and Naiomi first at English Bay Beach, and we sat on a bench for ages just talking about what we had been up to.
We then met up with Yusy, Yun, Kelsey, and Kelly for lunch.
Afterwards we met up with Nicole and walked to Robson St. We all got gelato and looked in some stores. We went into this really cool vintage shop and some of the girls were trying on funny things.
We later met up with Rebekah while we continued shopping. I had such a good day with all of them. We all had so much fun, and it made me so much more excited to see them again in the future.
Kurtis drove and picked me up from downtown and we went home and had dinner with Kursty. She made us angel food cake for dessert which was really nice. Kurtis and I just stayed in for the night and watched an episode of Dexter and then Magic Mike. Here's a photo of Kurtis and I that Kursty took during dinner:
On Tuesday I went downtown with Kursty and we went to a tea and fondue place that she had a groupon voucher to. We met up with Allice and her work friend Angelika. We had both cheese and chocolate fondue with so many different things to dip in. It was delicious!!
Afterwards, Kursty and I walked along Robson St and I got to do some shopping. I wish I had more time, I could have shopped so much more! The three of us had dinner together at home and Kursty took more photos.
That night, Kurtis and I went to his local cinema to see The Way Way Back, which was a really really good movie. We both loved it.
The next day I chilled at Kurtis' house and got to skype Mum. In the afternoon I went for a walk with Kursty at a local park, which was really nice.
Then we came back and chilled before Kurtis got home from work. I gave Kursty her presents from Australia. I gave her a packet of Tim Tams, a handpainted mug, and handmade earrings. She loved them all. We then went out to a Japanese restaurant for dinner and had so much good food. I paid for it all as my thank you to them for letting me stay with them. After dinner we went back to the park and played a game of frisbee golf.
It's basically like golf but with frisbees, and you have to throw them into these metal net things. I was so bad at it haha. I cannot throw a frisbee straight! It kept going sideways into the bushes. Kurtis and I then played on the playground while Kursty took photos of us.
When we got home Kurtis and I watched Definitely Maybe.
On Thursday I went to White Rock with Kursty. It was about a 40 min drive away. We went to the beach, but the water was too cold for a swim so we laid on our towels and relaxed. I was wearing sunscreen, but I must not have reapplied in time, because I got very very sunburnt on my legs and chest. Trust for it to happen on my very last day! We had fish and chips for lunch, and then drove home.
When Kurtis got home, I said goodbye to Kursty and she teared up. It was my last night with Kurtis so we were staying in a hotel for the night close to the airport. We went to a restaurant close to the hotel for dinner which was really good, and shared a New York cheesecake for dessert.
A cinema was right across from our hotel so, Kurtis being the movie lover that he is, of course we had to go. We ended up seeing Wolverine because Kurtis was dying to see it, and I'm the best girlfriend ever.
The next day we had breakfast in the hotel, and then drove around Richmond which is the town around the airport. We went to Best Buy and I bought some CDs and Kurtis bought some DVDs. We went to Whitespot and had burgers for lunch before heading to the airport. I had a huge cry, and Kurtis gave me lots of cuddles and kisses. It was so hard to say goodbye. We had the best two weeks together, and I'm so glad I had the chance to go over and visit. It brought so much closer together and it was exactly what we needed. It just confirmed to us how much we want to be together.
Love,
Emily
