the week-end, it did exist.

Being back to an 8-5 schedule, blogging has been a little tough. Evenings either consist of going out, staying in and being in bed very early, or order-packaging marathons. TV watching marathons have also happened, on occasion.

So a few days late, let's talk about the week-end for a moment, because nowadays, it is pretty much my favorite time of the week.

Saturday was lazy: sleeping in, long chatty breakfast, sunny afternoon nap, a little cleaning, and then a fun housewarming party.

On Sunday, we went apple picking with these lovebirds. It was actually, as far as I know, my first time ever. And despite the crowds, it was awesome. Followed by a steaming bowl of Pho, it was a perfect Sunday.

Now here's a wedding

Speaking of tearful, I think it has a lot to do with this right here:

Behold, Davina + Daniel's wedding slideshow by the powerhouse known as Erin & Ben Chrisman. Mr. D and I had the great privilege of attending their 5-day wedding extravaganza in Mexico this past Spring, and a true extravaganza it was.

Seeing these pictures brings it all right back, in all of its raw emotion, love, wonder and pure blissful moments of unadulterated fun. And let's be honest, photos don't lie; what we see here is a beautiful union of two people who knew the best thing in their life was right in front of them. And grabbed it, fiercely, as they do in their everyday lives which such passion.

Good times

Amidst the end-of-semester stress/group projects/papers/impending exams/presentations/drama, it was a nice break celebrating Davina + Daniel's bachelorette/bachelor parties this week-end. Marie-Eve of Lake Jane organized the sweetest bridal shower, and the bachelorette consisted of penises, vodka flasks, sushi, strangers, sidewalk antics, pangpang kareoke, tequila shots and dancing, pretty much in that order. We are very pumped for the wedding that is now less than 2 weeks away!!

Sunday was work, + a nice brunch and pjs all day and a couple of long phone chats with my girls.

Good times all around.

Hello again

We are not always the most consistent bloggers over here at Haramaki Love, and for that we say: Sorry! We are going to try harder, promise.

It's been a month since Africa, and settling back into Montreal life has been a little tricky. And cold. But Spring is finally on it's way, which is very exciting!

Here are a few things that have been going on around here:

- I began the Tracy Anderson method. Yes ladies, it's reallyfreakinghard. But so far, so good.
- The household came down with a very nasty cold.
- We sold some furniture in order to make room for this beauty:

We're in love.


And here are a few things that we are looking forward to:

- Davina + Daniel's Mexico wedding !!
- The lamb stew the hubster lovingly made real late last night
- Did I mention Spring?
