Lights, Camera, It's Light Festival Season!

With classes coming to an end this week, final exams starting and waiting, not so patiently, for it to be December 18, I have been pretty busy! I got to check out some really cool light festivals this month and lucked out each time that it was not raining. My lovely boyfriend

Lights at Lafarge Lake

and I first went to the Bear Creek Light Festival at the beginning of November with some of his nieces and nephew. It was gorgeous. So many lanterns and lights all set up. The only downside was how packed it was the first night! It was like a traffic jam at the bridge so you couldn't really move anywhere. We walked around the dark park to one of the other entrances and got in no problem. The second light festival we went to was at Lafarge Lake. This one was much bigger than the Bear Creek one. They had stages set up for music and a bunch of booths. I love going to these things because they are typically free and it's just a nice night out, walking and spending time together. Living in the Vancouver area everything is so expensive so it is so nice to be able to go out to something and not have to spend much or any money. We did get hot chocolate and mini doughnuts as a treat, but you don't have to. 

The lights make me green!

With my work being closed for the month, I have been spoiled with time to spend with my boyfriend and go to all these events that I often miss out on. I am back to work this weekend and really looking forward to it, but I'm definitely going to miss spending so much time with people. I have 2 weeks and then I am off on my Christmas adventure to Antigua with my family. I will miss our first Christmas together, but that's okay. The beach is calling and I must answer. This semester has been a little rough, course wise, and I am so excited to be able to go somewhere and relax. 

My boyfriend thought he was really funny in when I asked if we could take a cute picture, the green picture is what happened. Most of the time he cooperates and takes pictures, but sometimes he takes some creative liberties. Usually they come out pretty entertaining. 

To all my fellow students, good luck on final projects and exams! To everyone else have a wonderful day and remember to take care of yourself! 

Lots of love to you all!!
