It's hard to believe that a year has flown by so quickly. A year ago today I met my sweetie Rob!
So how are we celebrating? I'm working on my art resume and portfolio for an upcoming gallery mixer-match event, while he cleans out closets to make room for me to move in! Lovely photo ops these aren't. So instead I'll show photos of a wonderful trip we took to Victoria, B.C. earlier this year, for one of Rob's annual hockey tournaments.
We stayed at the Victoria Regent Hotel, right on the bay. This was the view out our many windows:
And the view inside of our magnificent two bedroom suite that we shared with some of the other hockey teammates. Notice the cutie on the couch!
Victoria is a great walking city. I loved out free time taking in the feel of the city.
Some of Victoria's colorful old architecture.

Taking in the old world charm, you suddenly remember you're in a different country.

It was a good tournament for the team. They lost the first game but won the next two. I had a blast getting to know the guys better - they've got some very creative intellectuals and inventors on the team - fascinating conversations off the ice! And now, to close, a bit of hockey humor:
