I recently got back from a week up in Van with M. It was awesome. Despite the pairing of a couple notoriously independent individuals, we can’t get enough of each other. We’ve decided that was the last time we’d spend more than four weeks apart from each other, as well. That’s enough of that nonsense. So she’s coming here in about three weeks, and then I’m doing back to backs to Van over the next couple months. With the promising interest in the car, there’s hope that I can neatly slide that recurring debt over to travel expenses for the next little while.

So while I stayed with M I met her for lunch a couple times, and it was a treat to rediscover real West Coast sushi.

While she was at work I got some work done as well, and when she came home I would greet her at the door like we’d been doing it forever. Shockingly domestic and shockingly easy.

Maybe it’s because she’s drop dead gorgeous.

She’s vegetarian, and I’m a notorious meatatarian, but somehow it’s easy for us. No fighting over who gets the little salad bowl, for example.

And then we were off to Whistler, where we stayed at the Chateau Whistler – very chateau.

Nice view. Very cozy.

After a huge dinner at The Keg (lobster for her) we woke up at a dignified hour for the real purpose of the Whistler jaunt – the ziptrek.

I want to adventure with this lady forever.
