i'm super excited. brendan and i booked out trip to costa rica last night. i've been watching the prices fluctuate for a couple week, and have been playing around with dates. we were ready to book last weekend but i had to check with emma. thankfully we didn't book then because the price dropped significally over the course of a week. we totally lucked out. our saving is almost equal to one flight. i'm really thankful because we're hoping to keep this trip as inexpensive as possible. i'm also aiming to make this my lightest luggage. i have a habit of taking things 'just in case' but then never needing them. each time i make my load lighter so i see that as progress. since this is a summer trip, going to a summer destination, i think i can pack pretty light and just carry-on my backpack.

man it was a restful weekend. i love that it stays light out until 9. it makes the evening feel slow and gives me that peaceful feeling that life is in the present that there's no place i need to be. that's perhaps my favourite feeling. i took off our winter duvet and replaced it with a summer bedspread. i like how much less bulky it is. it makes the room feel simple, instead of cluttered. there's no doubt about it, i love this season :)
