Trip 2012 -- Alberta, British Columbia

Alberta has their windmills.

We love holding hands.

The first night, we spent in Kimberley, BC. This is where Jesse's dad, Paul, is building a house that will be absolutely gorgeous.

Paul and his life-long friend, Rick.

On the road through BC.... 

The passes were steep going up and going down. There were quite a few runaway lanes.

I liked this car a lot. 

I'm learning to be a navigator. Map reading has never been my forte but I'm learning... fast. Haha!

It rained off and on all day. Major rain.

We had a flat tire. We were going 100 km's so we're glad the car (and we) survived without a scratch.

The rain let up while we were changing the tire, thankfully! We went back down to Grand Forks and bought a tire from them. They were very helpful and sold us a good, used tire for $50.

Osoyoos, BC. We decided that we're going to go back to this place and visit. It is, simply put, the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

My favorite road sign! This part of the country was all vineyards.

Construction and Pictures Thereof

Construction on the deck...

Our house has changed a lot on the outside since we bought it.

My man.

Half finished!

I love our porch.

March 4th -- Tree

Today we were invited for supper over at Jesse's Dad and Mum's place. When we arrived at their place, we went outside and searched for a picture waiting to be taken. We found two, although the first one is definitely our favorite.

I love trees. But I especially love Birch. They remind of freshly fallen snow, white doves, purity... 

The Birch have been dying off in this area because of increased dryness in climate. Here's hoping for better, wetter days!
