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 hundred sentences trying [...]

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 it’s how friends [...]
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.

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 events, [...]

Urgent: Have you seen this girl?
Known to her neighbours as a nice, quiet and unassuming girl who rarely sheds her conservative side, she was kidnapped Friday afternoon from work by a crazy woman and her three friends. Authorities have released the following mugshot:
Beware, these suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
Jennifer was last seen in Whistler, held captive by the suspects [...]

My mind wanders here.
Or more precisely, here.
Where’s Ash, you ask?
Oh, he’s just run down to refill our margaritas.

The great thing about having a regular event like champagne wednesdays in our life is that sometimes people want to share it with us. People like the Crooks (Christina, I stole this picture from your blog).
Michael and Christina - a creative, smart, engaged couple we like spending time with - had us over last night for dinner. They even popped [...]

Dear Ash,
I made an executive decision, pending your response. Kat’s coming over, we’re making spicy black bean burgers, you will love me, even when it’s hard.
Love,
Jen
