Going to Granville Island this Friday night to partake in the new, though poorly advertised Winterupption festival. I just heard about it yesterday when the Dean of our School of Music popped his head into my office to tell me about a show he’s performing in. His band Poetic Justice is backing up a spoken word performance. To the average person [...]
Love is not what I thought it would be. Less a certainty and more a strengthening. A muscle formed under skin. A firming up of the soul. I love you husband. Jen Photo from LittleBrownPen’s travels in Paris.

On days like this, I need a good view. Even if it’s just a new photo on my desktop. Ash tried for so long to get me out of bed this morning that he ended up back in bed himself. We taunted the clock until the last minute, blankets pinned at every corner, and then rushed to get [...]

Every oppprtunity to drink a mimosa was seized. The palace was oddly devoid of people, which made it easy to find pool-chairs and make Ash play fun games like Papparrazi/beach vacation. I bought a funny greeen hat that made me feel like doing touristy things, such as writing love notes in the sand with my toe. [...]

Well, this is it. My last blog post as Miss Hargreaves. Today, Bill, the Facility Manager at work (not to mention, the loveliest Scott you’ll ever meet – perhaps, even, a gift from my Nanny) – brought me a very offical nametag reading “Jennifer Wilson.” Yes, I am beginning to feel like someone new. I’ve written and erased about a [...]

Like poetry, sometimes places or people ring true in the depths of you. And that is how you know. It’s how I know one day I must go to Little Sparta’s Garden so my soul can keep growing. It’s how I know to marry Ash this weekend and claim my glimpse of the sea. And [...]
And I can post a sickening number of headshots if I want to. And I do. We were looking through old photos last night (sipping on a tidy, piccolo of Henkell) and we found so many pictures of us that we haven’t seen in ages. Do other people like to sit at the kitchen table [...]
I would love to write something not related to the next 5 sleeps. But I can’t. I’ve got one thing on my mind. He’s tying his tie in the hallway mirror. Jen xoxo PS: Photos of postcards contained in The Little Box of I Love You, currently for sale at Chapters for $15.95 and now, [...]

This morning, the leaf mobile found a friend. I’ll show it to you in a second. First, you should know, I’m listening to this song and drinking Nespresso on the floor in front of the fireplace. Whiskey and I are wondering if the rain will lighten up long enough to go for a walk before [...]
Besides the normal Vancouver-variety showers, my personal forecast has seen a lot of love and good wishes raining down from family and friends lately. Good thing, too, because besides feeling exceptionally excited and positive, my body has been a ruckus of problems. Luckily, I have found three things make me feel almost instantly better: platters of gourmet food set out at bridal [...]
