What a fantastic weekend behind me! Saturday Chris and I attended Thomas and Bobbie Jo's wedding, which was all kinds of awesome. Thomas was Chris' first roommate, and they became fast friends. He adores Thomas - big, bright smile on his face as soon as his name gets mentioned. Thomas rocks...literally, and figuratively. Literally, he is a musician, composing and playing his own music. Figuratively, he's a pretty amazing human being with deep passion for what he loves, including Bobbie Jo. They're the type of couple who can display their love for one another without it appearing sickeningly sweet, too. As the small gathering on the wedding day was reserved for family and close friends only, we felt very priviledged to be a part of such a special crowd.
Sunday morning/early afternoon we met up with Cody & Jool for breakfast (third chosen locale finally offering us breakfast!). Cody & Jool are visiting from Calgary, and we've been lucky enough to get together a few nights last week. Sunday they were heading to Halifax for a few days, so we met for breakie prior to their departure. Hopefully we'll have another chance to hang out with them before they head back. We miss them so :(.
After breakfast, seeing that it was a rainy, dark day, Chris & I opted to go to the video store to rent a few DVDs. We rented "State of Play", and "One Week". Both were really good movies, but if I was to pick my favourite out of both it would be One Week, hands down. I'd meant to catch that in the theatres actually, but missed out. It's a touching story, and Canada plays a major role in the movie, with a superb Canadian soundtrack and breath-taking Canadian landscapes as Joshua Jackson's character travels from Toronto to Vancouver in a journey of reflection and self-awareness. If you've not yet seen this movie, you must (my movie picking abilities have also been redeemed).
Back to the grind with another week ahead of me...sad isn't it, how we bide our time til the next weekend? The next two weeks are big weeks for tv watching though, with new seasons beginning and new shows, too. The inner tv junkie in me is utterly thrilled. How 'bout the rest of ya'll? How did you spend last weekend?
