1/5/10

the best surprise of the day.

as i was leaving for class this afternoon, i glanced at my camera.
i deliberately decided not to take it,
as i thought that were could be absolutely nothing worth taking a picture of
while i was holed up in classes for four and a half hours.

little did i know that driving home with my friends kari + justin,
the OLYMPIC TORCH PROCESSION would go DRIVE RIGHT BY US.

luckily, the always technologically saavy justin ayson whipped out his iphone
and managed to snag some pictures.

kari and i were oh so excited!

vancouver 2010, here we come!

ps. don't worry my fellow bloggers. i have learned my lesson.
i will never be camera-less again.

  5. +so bittersweet. the pictures would have been so much better with a real camera!
    guess who was carrying the torch as we saw the procession?! none other then our university papa llyod axworthy himself! this girl came into starbucks and was talking about how she is his trainer and how she went to support him. if only we had known it was him!

  10. what are the chances!
    glad you both got to see it and witness lloyd carrying the torch.

    i think all this marking has gone to my head because i notice you spelled 'surprise' incorrectly. not sure if that was on purpose or not.
