So I have been in a blogging rut. Not going to get into why I have been, but I now have to catch up on the last 2 weeks! So annoying I know! I will catch you up somewhat. Well on the 29th of July it was our ONE YEAR anniversary! Yep, you heard right, we've made it through the first year. HUZZAH! And so we celebrated with some friends in Banff. Danny and Danielle and I drove down the first night. We dropped Danny off at at stag (bachelor party)in Canmore for the night, and Danielle and I continued into Banff to set up our tent in the pitch black...scary stuff in my books. Especially since their had just been a bear and cougar citing. Not exactly my cup of tea. I made sure to do cougar scans with my flashlight every 5 minutes. Only once I came across creepy animal eyes, and it turns out it was just some creep and his dog watching us set up our tent at an abandoned campsite. Who does that?!!!!! We were impressed with our abilities to set up a tent in the dark with little previous experience. It was only the rain fly that gave us troubles. And the fear of cougars. I told Danielle I would kill her if she pretended to make a cougar noise!!! So freaky! Eventually we fell asleep and woke up the next morning for cinnaom buns and Starbucks in downtown Banff for Breakfast! Once lunch time hit Krissy, Danae, and Danny met up with us and we went to the gorgeous Johnston Lake to tan and float about in the water. It is a non-glacier lake in Banff and seriously a greeny blue, so gorgeous, and so clean! The only annoying part was the huge dogs that think its cool to come out of the water soaking wet and shake their stink and water all over you and your magazine. BOO! Anyways, by the end of the day Danny and Erin and Robbie had eventually met up with us. A few of us girls went into town to play around at the little boutique shops, and we had a fire, and chilled out together. It was nice. The next morning we all woke up and went into town for a nice lunch and then half of us went to the lake for the rest of the day. Danny and Robbie both attempted (and succeeded) the rope swing. Danielle and I just floated on the mattress and watched. This one chick completely bailed, and we so knew she was going to do something stupid because she wasn't listening to anybody's advice on how to jump. Danny jumped like a monkey, head first. Crazy kids. Anyways, it was such a fun weekend and a blessing to hang out with people that we care about!! Here are a few pics from the weekend for your enjoyment.
